WEST ALLIS, Wis. -- When Ryan Hunter-Reay picked up his first win of the season in Alabama, he regretted that his wife and newborn son werent on hand for Victory Lane photographs. He made up for it Saturday with an early Fathers Day celebration at his favourite track, no less. Hunter-Reay continued Andretti Autosports domination at the Milwaukee Mile, winning the IndyCar event for the second year in a row and third time in his career. He became the first driver to win back-to-back races at the Mile since Tony Kanaan in 2006 and 2007 when he was driving for ... you guessed it, Michael Andretti, himself a five-time winner at Milwaukee. "At Barber, that was one of the races that Beccy and our son didnt come to and I felt bad because we didnt have the pictures of him in Victory Lane, so this is even better," Hunter-Reay said. "To do it on Fathers Day, to do back-to-back at Milwaukee, I love this place. Every driver, you ask them, they respect this oval the most." Andretti drivers have won five of the last nine races at the mile oval and nearly had a perfect day Saturday in a race that was promoted for the second year by Michael Andrettis marketing company. Hunter-Reay got the win, E.J. Viso finished fourth and James Hinchcliffe of Oakville, Ont., was fifth. The only blemish was pole-sitter Marco Andretti, who led the first 62 laps before his day fell apart with an electrical issue. "He let me down," joked father Michael Andretti. "I really feel bad for Marco. He was running really strong, really strong all weekend." But it was still a huge success for Andretti, who is in negotiations with IndyCar to promote the race next year but makes winning at Milwaukee a priority for his organization. "We come here with a philosophy of what I had back when I was driving, and we just carry that on, try to stress that to the engineering and the drivers on the way we used to do it then," Andretti said. "Theres things we used to do that really used to work. Seem to still be working." Alex Tagliani of Lachenaie, Que., finished second last in 23rd after his car suffered a mechanical problem. For Hunter-Reay, it was the second win of the season for the defending IndyCar Series champion. And it came at the site of the track he used to jump-start last years title run -- Hunter-Reay reeled off three consecutive wins starting with Milwaukee last season to climb into the championship race. He wasnt thinking championship in the closing laps, though. His focus was on Fathers Day and son Ryden. "Those last few laps I was thinking, Man, Ive got to do this for him," Hunter-Reay said. "Its so special, hes 6 months old, getting to have my little guy here in Victory Lane is the best Fathers Day gift." IndyCar Series points leader Helio Castroneves was second and followed by Penske Racing teammate Will Power as Chevrolet swept the podium. It was the first podium finish this season for Power, who hasnt won a race since Brazil last year. He made a bold attempt to pass Castroneves for second in the closing laps before cautiously backing off a touch. Power said after the race he had to consider the big picture and that his teammate is the current points leader while racing for position. "That was close, I wanted to race him very cleanly because hes leading the championship," Power said. "I was like Man, I dont want to take you out. Helio continues to get good points, and its cool to get (my) car up on the podium. Weve just got to keep chipping away and in the meantime, Im going to help out Helio as much as I can. If I can beat him I will, and make some hay on the championship." Scott Dixon was sixth in the highest finishing Honda and was followed by Takuma Sato, who dominated the middle section of the race but was shuffled out of contention when Ana Beatriz brought out the final caution and pit cycles dropped him deep into the field. Still, it was the best finish for an A.J. Foyt Racing entry at Milwaukee since Foyt himself was fifth in 1988. "The yellow came out and that was very bad timing for us because it put us behind those who hadnt pitted yet," Sato said. "They were able to pit and get ahead of us which is why we lined up in seventh. Then they had fresher tires, too, so it was really tough to pass them back. It was still a great race, but it was so disappointing in the end. Really a shame." Dario Franchitti, Justin Wilson and Kanaan rounded out the top 10. Marco Andretti wound up 20th and was passed by teammate Hunter-Reay for second in the IndyCar standings. "Its unfortunate, we came here for a win and had a car to do it," said Andretti, who was slowed before the electrical issue by a poor pit stop. "The voltage went straight down and I lost all kinds of power. I couldnt shift, the clutch didnt work. We came back for all the points we could." . They hope to persuade the other team owners and commissioner Roger Goodell to put pressure on Redskins owner Daniel Snyder to drop the nickname they find offensive. "Given the way the meeting transpired," Ray Halbritter, an Oneida representative and leader of the "Change the Mascot Campaign," said Wednesday, "it became somewhat evident they were defending the continued use of the name.

The CFLs top defensive player in 2011 will switch from cornerback to safety when Winnipeg (2-9) hosts the Edmonton Eskimos (2-9) tonight. Watch the game live on TSN and TSN Mobile TV at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. Injuries are also forcing two new offensive linemen who began practising Tuesday to make their CFL debuts in the battle between the leagues two worst teams. Edmonton snapped an eight-game losing streak last weekend with a 25-7 home win over the Bombers. "Ive been in the defence probably longer than all of our coaches so I know whats going on, I know the defence inside and out," Johnson said after Thursdays walkthrough. "It makes more sense to move me to safety and switch one guy versus moving three guys that are all rookies into different spots and having them learn new jobs on the fly." Johnson, who hasnt played safety since November 2011, replaces the injured Cauchy Muamba (ankle). Defensive back Marty Markett will move to Johnsons corner spot. Edmonton head coach Kavis Reed predicted Johnson will do just fine with his new role. "Jovon is a very cerebral football player," Reed said. "I know hell be able to make all the checks. "Hes more explosive than people think and hes very instinctive. And those are a lot of the qualities of a free safety." After injuries to veteran offensive tackles Glenn January and Shannon Boatman, the Bombers brought in Americans Dan Knapp and Jarvis Jones and theyll see action at right and left tackle, respectively. "Its strange but Im actually excited about it," said Knapp, who played in four NFL exhibition games last year with the Oakland Raiders. The biggest differences Knapp must adjust to are the new rules and defences lining up a yard off the ball. "Its something Ive got to adjust to, but Ive been playing this game since the sixth grade," he said. "It comes natural, to a certain extent." Edmonton defensive ends Marcus Howard and Odell Willis will try to take advantage of the newcomers. "Hopefully I can and hopefully I do because if I dont the guys will get on me," Howard said. Howard noted he joined the Eskimos three years ago on a Wednesday and got into the lineup two days later because of an injury to current Bomber Greg Peach. Willis said there may be a few CFL "tricks" they can throw at Knapp and Jones, but he doesnt expect the newcomers to be too out of sync. "Even though theyre two new tackles, I dont think this will be their first time playing football," Willis said. Knapp and Jones will have the task of helping protect starter Max Hall, anotther change from last weeks roster.dddddddddddd. For those trying to keep track of Winnipegs quarterback carousel, former Bomber Buck Pierce (traded to B.C. on Sept. 8 for receiver Akeem Foster) started the clubs first four games before being injured. Justin Goltz then started two games, Hall the two after that before Goltz returned to start the last three contests. The six-foot-four Foster will also play his first game for the Bombers, replacing injured receiver Cory Watson. Bombers head coach Tim Burke said Hall was projected to be the No. 1 quarterback prior to being injured in Winnipegs 37-14 road loss to Hamilton, just two plays into his second career start. But then, Goltz did relatively well in relief. Since Hall replaced a struggling Goltz in last weekends game and showed flashes of being able to move the offence, Burke wants to see if he can do so for the remainder of the season. "I hope so," Burke said. "That would be great." He added Jason Boltus will back up Hall ahead of Goltz. Winnipeg is last in the CFL in scoring (224 points), first downs (174) and passing (2,237 yards), second-last in fumbles (20) and fifth in rushing (1,029 yards). Having newcomers Knapp and Jones on the line isnt a big concern for Hall. "Physically, theyre both good players," Hall said. "Theyre very capable guys. "Ill trust theyll play well. I have to. I cant worry about it. I cant look at the rush. I have to go through my reads and trust those guys will do it." Edmontons offence is tied with Montreal for second-last in scoring (259 points), ranked sixth in first downs (204), third in rushing (1,162 yards) and has a league-low 12 fumbles. The Eskimos roster remains basically intact since last week and the offence will again be spearheaded by quarterback Mike Reilly. Reilly was named the CFLs offensive player of the week after completing 16-of-25 passes for 196 yards and three touchdowns while rushing nine times for a career-high 113 yards versus Winnipeg. Reillys 530 rushing yards are tops among CFL quarterback and fifth overall. "Its something thats worked to this point and anytime its available were going to use it," Reilly said. "But I dont think its something you want to use at the expense of taking away your pass plays." NOTES: Winnipeg hasnt thrown a touchdown pass in its last four games and has just five this season . . . Edmontons Fred Stamps is the CFLs leading receiver with 44 catches for 821 yards and nine TDs. A 10th touchdown grab would be his career-best . . . Winnipeg has trailed by 20 or more points in six of its last eight games . . . The Bombers will be trying for their 600th all-time win (in game No. 1,164). Edmonton is the only CFL club to have more than 600 wins. [url=http://www.factorycheapjerseys.com/]Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
