Martin Truex Jr. will remain at Furniture Row Racing through the 2018 season after signing a two-year contract extension.The team announced Thursday that Truex would have sponsorship from Bass Pro Shops/Tracker Boats, which will increase its number of races from 12 this year to 16 starting in 2017. The team is operated by Furniture Row owner Barney Visser, who also uses the car as a way to promote his furniture outlet and its products.Truex, who has four career wins, finished fourth in the 2015 season standings and is ninth in the Chase-eligibility standings this year. He has just one 2016 win, but he has led more laps (17.29 percent) and more miles (17.71 percent) than any other driver on the circuit.The performance this year is even more impressive considering the team switched from Chevrolet to Toyota, forming an alliance with Joe Gibbs Racing. That alliance nearly paid dividends early, with Truex coming inches shy of winning the Daytona 500.I am pleased that were going to continue our momentum from this season, said the 36-year-old Truex, who is in his third year at Furniture Row. This is where I want to be, driving the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota.Weve come a long way in a short period of time. There are many reasons to feel excited and optimistic about the future of our racing program.Prior to coming to Furniture Row, Truex had a relationship with Bass Pro Shops; the company had sponsored him in his first five years in Cup at Dale Earnhardt Inc. and Earnhardt Ganassi Racing.Martin has proved over and over that he is one of the blue-chip drivers in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, and we are elated that he will continue to drive our No. 78 Toyota, team president Joe Garone said.Furniture Row is a single-car organization -- but might not be for long. Garone has said the organization is working on a deal to start a second car. When asked earlier this week if the team had completed the deal to put JGR driver Erik Jones in a second car with sponsorship from 5-Hour Energy, Garone said the team was still working on the plans for a second car.

Cheap Nike Tanjun Online . PETERSBURG, Fla. RIO DE JANEIRO -- It didnt take long for Justin Gatlins name to get dragged into the doping drama swirling at the Olympics.No big deal to Gatlin.The sprinter considered the best threat to stop Usain Bolt in the 100-meter final Sunday told The Associated Press hes not paying attention to what people are saying about him, and is not concerned with those who think he doesnt belong here.At the end of the day, the time has been served. Ive served that time, the 34-year-old Gatlin told AP on Wednesday. Ive dealt with that punishment. Ive moved forward.Not everyone else has.Gatlin, who won gold at 100 meters at the 2004 Olympics, has been caught using banned substances twice. The first was for amphetamines, though arbitrators determined he didnt use them for doping but to treat attention deficit disorder. The second came for excessive testosterone in 2006 and resulted in a four-year ban.His name almost always comes up in the debate over how past dopers should be treated. In Rio, it surfaced in the wake of American swimmer Lilly Kings finger-wagging display toward Yulia Efimova, the Russian who was allowed to compete after a last-minute appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.Like Gatlin, Efimova has served a doping ban but was reinstated.But in refusing to bar the entire Russian team from the Olympics after investigations detailed state-sponsored doping in the country, the IOC put in a special caveat: Any Russian who had been previously banned for doping was not welcome.That rule was overturned by CAS, which had made similar decisions in previous cases, saying athletes cant be punished twice for the same offense.Kings criticism of Efimova -- and her icy stares toward the Russian before the two squared off in the pool -- instantly made King a voice in support of clean athletes everywhere.The dispute led to King, and many others, being asked if it was fair that Gatlin was ccompeting.ddddddddddddDo I think people who have been caught doping should be on the team? They shouldnt. It is unfortunate we have to see that, King said.But, King said, she had to respect the rules.Same with sprinter Michael Johnson, the four-time Olympic gold medalist, who was asked whether Gatlin should be here.The issue people need to understand is that youre not going to solve the problem by pointing the finger at an athlete and making that athlete the villain, Johnson said, talking in general about athletes with violations.The athlete has been a villain and certainly has done damage to the sport. ... I dont appreciate that. But the athletes not the one thats making the rules that allows him to get back on the track or back in the pool, or back on the field.Gatlin does not see himself as a villain -- and does not buy into the now-hackneyed portrayal of him vs. Bolt as tracks version of Good vs. Evil.People want to label people and thats all they want to do, Gatlin said. They dont want to get to know them, they dont want to understand the story,
