MARTINSVILLE, Va. Rob Kelley Jersey . - When Kurt Busch was eliminated from NASCAR title contention, it became apparent to both the driver and his owner that if a change was going to be made to his team it had to be done soon.The change was a dramatic one: Stewart-Haas Racing will swap the crew chiefs for Busch and Danica Patrick beginning next week, giving each driver three races to work with their new teams. NASCAR has issued a ban on testing next season, so SHR believes it is giving its two teams a jump on 2015.For Busch, who won at Martinsville Speedway in March and made the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, the change was necessary to give team owner Gene Haas the results he wants. Haas hand-picked Busch to drive a new fourth car for SHR, but Busch believe he has underperformed with first-year crew chief Daniel Knost.I think thats why Gene Haas wanted to make a change. He wants more, Busch said Friday at Martinsville. Winning a race and getting in the Chase isnt what the 41 car is here to do. Its to be competitive week in and week out and have shots at winning.Tony Gibson will move from Patricks car to Buschs car, and Knost will take over Patricks team. Both will bring their entire crews with them, and both will start with next weeks test at Homestead.Busch is excited to get a veteran crew chief in Gibson, who worked on Alan Kulwickis 1992 championship team and had stops at Hendrick Motorsports and Dale Earnhardt Inc.Knost has an engineering background and didnt suit Buschs style. He likes the old-school sense he had early in his career with Jimmy Fennig, who led him to the 2004 championship at Roush Fenway Racing, and with Todd Berrier, who guided Busch to a Chase berth last year at Furniture Row Racing.Busch said his troubles at Team Penske began when the organization became more engineering-driven.At Penske, some of the issues that were arising from the engineers advancing through the systems werent necessarily what was going to work best with me, Busch said.Knosts background will suit Patrick, who is engineering-driven from her time in IndyCar.As far as Daniel, hes a young, aggressive, very smart engineer. Danica is kind of used to more of that feeling with the engineers from her background, said SHR competition director Greg Zipadelli. She actually a while ago talked about working with a younger engineer and building that relationship over time. I just feel like it was a time to do it.Zipadelli noted that Patrick has run better the last two months and her qualifying is up — her average starting spot is 21.3 compared to 30.1 last season — but shes 27th in the Sprint Cup standings.Shes made a ton of progress, Zipadelli said. Her speed on the racetrack, her qualifying is better, but her race finishes arent. And at the end of the day, thats really what counts. So how do we help and encourage that?Knost was an engineer for Patrick when Zipadelli was her crew chief during her partial 2012 Cup season with SHR and already has a relationship with her crew chief.Still, hes only been given an interim tag and has three races to work things out with Patrick.We click and the things that are felt in the race car and then conveyed over the radio and the changes that are made in relationship to that, if that takes a fast course and a good direction and we seem to click well and make progress throughout the weekend, then I think that will be a really positive sign, Patrick said. Thats always a challenge. If thats good, then I feel like thats a good sign for the future.For now, the biggest concern seems to be regarding how Gibson handles Busch, who tends to get heated on the radio with his crew chiefs. Zipadelli acknowledged that Knost was thrown to the wolves in that regard, but contends Gibsons experience makes it a non-factor.Thats just one of those things that comes along with Kurt, Zipadelli said. I think (Gibsons) heard it all. You let it go in one ear and out the other. Jordan Reed Jersey . Ferrer, the two-time defending champion in Buenos Aires, is aiming to win his 21st ATP tournament.

On Wednesday night, they showed that stellar defence and a little small ball can get the job done too. With pinch-runner Kevin Pillar aboard after Dioner Navarro opened the bottom of the ninth with a single, Anthony Gose dropped down an excellent bunt along the first-base line.IRVING, Texas - Dallas Cowboys cornerback Morris Claiborne will have season-ending surgery after tearing the patellar tendon in his left knee.Coach Jason Garrett said Monday that Claiborne, who last week skipped a team meeting and walkthrough when finding out he had lost his starting role, will have surgery in the next couple of days after getting hurt in the Cowboys 38-17 victory over the New Orleans Saints. He will be put on injured reserve.Obviously, hes disappointed, Garrett said. Mo Claiborne is going to be a good player in this league. Theres no doubt in my mind about that. Anybody whos been around him I think believes that, and hes working hard to get there.Garrett said linebacker Bruce Carter has a strained quad and is day-to-day.The surgery for Claiborne will come a week after the sixth overall pick in the 2012 draft left the team facility upon finding out he wouldnt start against the Saints. He returned to practice Wednesday, the day after the missed meeting.Because the Cowboys started in their nickel package, Claiborne was actually on the field for the first defensive play Sunday night. But he was down at the end of a play with about 6 minutes lefft in the first quarter, and had to be helped off the field with people on both sides of him while not putting any pressure on his left leg. Sean Taylor Jersey. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones immediately after the game expressed concern about the severity of the injury, and further tests Monday confirmed that.Injuries have been part of his progression here so far, and Ive been around players in my career who have had similar starts to their careers ... and theyve had really good careers after that, Garrett said. Mos been dealing with a lot of different things from a physical standpoint. This is another one of those things. Hes going to get the surgery done and come back stronger, better than ever.Claiborne had problems with his right knee and shoulder during training camp this year and missed more preseason games. He missed six regular-season games last year because of shoulder, knee, hamstring and finger issues.Carter, whose tipped pass earlier in the game led to an interception, got hurt while chasing Khiry Robinson down the sideline on a 62-yard run early in the fourth quarter. Carter fell down after pursuing the runner and was tended to on the field.
