There might come a day when Ryan Hunter-Reay forgives Alex Tagliani for running into him at Sonoma. It probably wont come before this weekends race at Baltimore. Hunter-Reay is still seething over an incident with Tagliani on Sunday at Sonoma that drastically hurt his chances to win his first IndyCar championship. The American was likely headed to a third-place finish when he was hit by Tagliani, who isnt involved in the title race. "I know in years past, when I was racing with guys racing for the championship, you absolutely have to have that in mind," Hunter-Reay said Wednesday. "You must be thinking to yourself, I am not going to be a factor in this because I am not in the championship race." "Unfortunately, Tagliani became a factor in this championship." Hunter-Reay wound up 18th, a 23-point swing in the standings. He goes into Sundays race trailing leader Will Power by 36 points with two events remaining to decide the champion. Tagliani tried to apologize to Hunter-Reay after the race, but Hunter-Reay admits he was "infuriated with him" and didnt want to hear what Tagliani had to say. Tagliani vowed Wednesday to keep trying. "I will apologize every day I see him until you know that you can move on and understand," he said. "Thats the only thing I can do. Im not going to hide behind my mistake. Other than that, I cant do anything else." But, Tagliani wasnt apologizing for racing hard. His Bryan Herta Autosport team was handcuffed at the start of the season with an underperforming Lotus engine, and Tagliani has had to dig out of that hole all season. His team has shown flashes and hes trying to position BHA for critical monetary bonuses the team could be eligible for next season. "We earned the right to race against anybody out there," Tagliani said. "We need to be in the Leaders Circle (program) next year, so its very important we grab as many points as possible." He also said it was his first drive-through penalty in some time, and other drivers have had issues in that same place on the track. And, Tagliani said, Hunter-Reay has made his share of mistakes as a driver. "If he has a short memory, its not fair because hes been called for (a penalty) by hitting Scotty (Dixon) in Toronto and Ryan Briscoe (at Barber) as well," Tagliani said. "Everybody is exposed to make a mistake once in a while when youre fighting for the same piece of real estate in IndyCar. Unfortunately, that day it was him." Its little consolation to Hunter-Reay, who won three consecutive races this summer to move into the IndyCar points lead. But hes had nothing but bad luck since. His Andretti Autosport team made a pro-active engine change at Edmonton -- where he won the pole, but started 11th after the engine change -- and finished seventh. The next race, at Mid-Ohio, the new engine failed and Power re-gained the points lead. Then came Sonoma and the late incident with Tagliani. "I cant dwell on Sonoma, I cant dwell on this last month," Hunter-Reay said. "I want to use my energy toward winning the last two races and winning the championship. I know our team is strong enough to win this championship. The tools are there, the talent is there. We can win, but if that comes to reality remains to be seen." Hunter-Reay doesnt believe Power has the championship locked up and points to last years race at Kentucky as an example. Power had the dominant car in that race until an incident on pit road cost him the win, and opened the door for Dario Franchittis third consecutive season title. "Absolutely, Ive seen some crazy things happen," Hunter-Reay said. Cheap Jerseys free shipping .

No, not the number playoff contending teams are looking at to seal their trip to the post-season.FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Tim Tebow has played with a broken leg. A fractured collarbone, too. He would "love" to play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. But, two cracked ribs kept the New York Jets backup quarterback on the sideline last week -- and he isnt sure if hell end up be back there again this weekend. "Im getting better every day," Tebow said Wednesday. "Slowly getting better. Its good." Tebow was limited at practice and acknowledged that he didnt do much throwing. Hes a left-handed tosser, and the broken ribs are on the left side of his torso. The injury is expected to limit him the rest of the week, leaving him as a possible game-time decision -- as he was against New England last Thursday night. "Pretty much whatever they asked me to do," Tebow said of what he did at practice. "Got a few reps here and there, so just taking it slowly." He did add, however, that although it "might not feel the best," he thinks he could "manage" if he had to play today and take a hit from an opposing defensive player. Coach Rex Ryan thinks Tebow will be cleared to play Sunday "like he was last week." "Well see how he progresses through the week," Ryan added before practice. Tebow was injured at Seattle on Nov. 11, played three offensive snaps the following week at St. Louis. He was active but Ryan kept him on the sideline -- to be used only in "an emergency" -- against New England after the quarterback convinced the coach he could play following a pregame evaluation. Ryan has been criticizzed by some for keeping Tebow active rather than making third-stringer Greg McElroy available.ddddddddddddTebow reiterated that he would have been able to play against the Patriots if something had happened to starter Mark Sanchez. "It was a big game and definitely something that I didnt want to miss if needed to help the team," Tebow said. "Im glad they got my input, but ultimately, its their decision." Tebow is not concerned about the nature of the injury making him less effective, but rather hed be more worried about having a setback that would sideline him longer. That, he said, would be on the Jets medical staff to determine. "They worry about it and make sure that it couldnt get worse," he said. "Thats an option and theyll do the smart thing for me." Tebow has been known to have a high tolerance for pain, as proven in high school, when he played through a broken leg and even scored on a 20-yard run. He wasnt concerned then that continuing to play would threaten his long-term health. "Not with that," he said. "Its already broken. Its just your fibula, and, go play. We were losing. Thats what I was worried about in that game. He also played with a broken collarbone in Denvers playoff loss to New England last season. "It wasnt fun," Tebow said with a big smile. Despite the fact he has had a very limited role in the Jets offence this season, daily updates on his ribs have become national news. And it hardly fazes Tebow. "Most things right now tend to be that way," he said, laughing. ' ' '
