BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Zach Veach won his second Indy Lights race of the season. The 19-year-old Veach, who won the season-opener in St. Petersburg, started on the pole and led throughout at Barber Motorsports Park on Saturday. The 30-lap sprint was the first of two races over the weekend comprising the Legacy Indy Lights 100 on the 17-turn, 2.38-mile permanent road course. Veach, who drives for Andretti Autosport, beat Luiz Razia by 3.844 seconds. Jack Harvey, Razias teammate for Schmidt Peterson Motorsports with Curb-Agajanian, finished a season-best third. Veach maintained the three-second cushion over the final 10 laps. He won the maximum 53 points for the victory to stretch his lead. He said the car "was easy to drive" and predicted "well be right back up there" in the second race. Mavericks Jersey . But in the aftermath a 115-91 pounding of the Utah Jazz on Saturday night, Toronto Raptors head coach Dwane Casey insisted it was still invaluable for evaluating the depth of his team early in the season.

Justin Dowling, Travis Morin and Francis Wathier also scored for the Stars (22-10-5), who bypassed Abbotsford for top spot in the West Division, and Mike Hedden tacked on two assists. Defenceman John Ramage was a team-worst minus-4 for the Heat (23-13-2), who dropped their fourth game in a row. http://www.shopthemavericks.com/ . -- Chris Wondolowski scored his 10th goal of the season and the San Jose Earthquakes made it stand for a 1-0 victory against the Colorado Rapids on Wednesday. Dallas Mavericks Jersey .C. -- If this was Jabari Parkers last home game at Duke, what a farewell it was. J.J. Barea Jersey .B. -- Canadas Rachel Homan had ideal preparation for the playoffs at the Ford World Curling Championships with a pair of hard-fought wins over tenacious opponents Thursday.With some help from Canada, Miguel Angel Torres has been trying to control his inner beast. On Saturday, the former bantamweight champion hopes to combine his scary side with his smarts as he takes on young gun Michael (Mayday) McDonald at UFC 145 in Atlanta. Under Montreal trainer Firas Zahabi, the 31-year-old Torres has been learning to control what he calls his inner beast or monster and became a more cerebral fighter -- to pick his shots and use his full arsenal. "Thats not natural to me," he concedes. "Thats the hardest part of how I train, because if it was up to me Id make every fight a brawl. "I would go out there and I would Leonard Garcia every fight," he said, referencing a fellow UFC fighter whose style is to swing for the fences. "But Ive learned from my past losses that you cant do that. "Eventually someones going to figure you out and theyre going to be waiting for it. So the biggest thing that Ive been working on now is meshing the two styles. Being cerebral and aggressive at the same time." Torres (39-4) turned to Zahabi in the wake of a March 2010 loss to Joseph Benavidez. He has lost his 135-pound WEC title the fight before to Brian Bowles and realized he needed to change. Torres has also expanded his training regimen, splitting time between the Tristar gym in Montreal and former light-heavyweight champion Rashad Evans Blackzillians crew in Boca Raton, Fla. (the names came out of a comment that at one point the fighters in the gym were all black or Brazilian). McDonald (14-1) will be his fifth fight under Zahabi. "I know I have more things in my arsenal than what Ive been using, but in those fights I wanted to demonstrate those techniques and prove to myself mentally that they would work," Torres said. "I know they work and I know that Im ready to go out there and use them." Torres has won three of four since joining forces with Zahabi, whose most famous client is welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre. He has wins over Charlie Valencia, Antonio Banuelos, and most recently Nick Pace. Demetrious (Mighty Mouse) Johnson, now fighting at 125 pounds, defeated him by decision at UFC 130 last May. McDonald offers an intriguing test. Just 21, the second youngest fighter in the UFC, he has won all three of his fights in the UFC and looked very composed in doing so. How good is McDonald, who started kickboxing at age 12, fighting as an MMA amateur at 14, and turned pro at 16? "Well Im going to test how good he is," Torres said. "Hes a great fighter against the guys thats he fought against. Hes a great counter-striker. No one has ffought him the correct way yet, no ones fought him very smart yet.dddddddddddd He fought one of my training partners (Chris Cariaso) to a split decision. Hes tough, hes young but he hasnt seen the things that Ive seen yet and he hasnt been pushed yet. "He will be pushed and he will be put in a position hes never been put before and I cant wait until I get to do that to him." Torres is getting a second lease on life in the UFC, restored to the roster after being cut for an offensive tweet. "I learned from the situation. I made a mistake, I learned from it and its behind me now. I look forward to the future." With current bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz and challenger Urijah (The California Kid ) Faber currently showcased on TV as coaches on "The Ultimate Fighter" reality TV show, you might expect Torres would be glued to his set. But he says he has only seen snippets online. "I know Dominicks and Urijahs personality already," he said. "Theyre both great fighters. The show for me is something that I dont really pay attention to too much." Torres instead focuses on McDonald, the latest step in moving his name back up the bantamweight ladder. Asked if he believes he has been overlooked in recent years, Torres says thats just the way it is in MMA. "One day, youre the main guy on the page and then after a loss or two youre on the backburner. ... That comes with the territory, it doesnt bother me at all." And Torres insists he has the team behind him now to return to the top. "Mentally I know what I can do, I know who I train with, I know the things that Ive seen, I know where Ive been. I know where Im going, first and foremost I know where Im going to go. And I will be back at the top. I have great guidance, I have great management, I have great coaches, I have great training partners, I have a wonderful family and I have a great staff in my gym and I have awesome students. "So I have nothing to hold me back. In the past, I had a lot of things that were holding me back. And these days I dont have that any more." Still, Torres is paying the price, every time he leaves his family daughter in east Chicago, Ind., to train in Montreal or Florida. He used to train in his own gym, living there during the week. "Its totally different, because I dont see them at all here. When I was staying at my gym, Id be there Monday through Friday. Id come home on the weekends or my (four-year-old) daughter would come to the gym. It was a huge difference. . . . Being here, in Montreal (or Florida), I dont see anyone and thats very hard." cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
