Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone says his series and NASCAR wont be competing for the same motorsport fans in Texas when they hold races 190 miles apart in November. Jesus Aguilar Jersey . Ecclestone dismissed on Wednesday any clash between the series, after the top executive at Texas Motor Speedway called F1 "arrogant" for scheduling the United States Grand Prix in Austin on the same weekend that his track hosts NASCAR in Fort Worth. "I absolutely think its foolish," said Eddie Gossage, the track president and general manager. "Its a shot fired by Formula One at NASCAR. I cant say I was surprised because Bernie Ecclestone does a lot of foolish things. The thing he unfortunately doesnt recognize is there is an 800-pound gorilla when it comes to major American motorsports. The 800-pound gorilla is NASCAR." Texas Motor Speedway will host NASCARs Texas 500 on Nov. 2, the same day F1 will hold its only race in the U.S. this year. Fort Worth is about a 3-hour drive from Austin. While Gossage thought a stronger stance by the management at Circuit of the Americas would have prevented the scheduling issue, Ecclestone believed it was a non-issue. "Ive also spoken to the people that run the race at COTA and their position is that they believe the NASCAR crowd is a different crowd to Formula One, different people, different customers," Ecclestone said. "At the end of the day, they run a domestic series in America -- we run a world championship." F1 requires considerable logistical planning by the teams, he said. "Weve a small problem they (NASCAR) dont have -- we have six jumbo jets to move around all our equipment, and we have to find the most sensible way to use them to do that," Ecclestone said. "We have to be efficient and bear in mind we may also encounter problems at an airport. "There are issues that can occur, but (Gossage) and other people do not realize these things. The race prior to the one in the U.S. is in Russia, in Sochi. Weve never been before, and we have to get out of there and into Austin. That is probably a lot easier than trying to get into Brazil, and then we have to get out of there (Sao Paulo) to go to Abu Dhabi." Gossage said F1 could have found another weekend to race in the U.S. "Its just not smart," he said. "Theres 52 weeks in the year. But that was the only weekend that Formula One could make it work in Austin, Texas. Give me a break." Jhoulys Chacin Jersey .

But he led the team into Air Canada Centre on Sunday, making his way on crutches.Fabbri was injured early in Canadas rout of Denmark in the quarter-finals and was ruled out for the rest of the tournament. Now he is reduced to cheering from the stands while his teammates rally around him.We all know who were playing for now, winger Max Domi said. To see that happen to anyone, especially one of your teammates, one of your buddies, it sucks. Were playing for him now.Fabbri, a St. Louis Blues prospect who plays for the Guelph Storm of the Ontario Hockey League, appreciates his friends dedicating their finish at the world juniors to him. Understandably upset hes not able to take the ice with them, the Mississauga, Ont., native is doing his best to make it through a tough time.I just come to the rink every day and supporting the guys and make sure Im not bringing anyone down, the 18-year-old Fabbri said. Just happy to be here and happy to support the guys.Fabbri had two goals and four assists in the first four games of the tournament, playing on Canadas second line alongside Connor McDavid and Curtis Lazar. He got tangled up with Danish defenceman Anders Krogsgaard just a few minutes into Friday nights game and went down in pain.Somehow my leg ended up behind me almost touching my head, said Fabbri, who watched the replay of his injury. It was an unfortunate play and theres nothing you can do about it.Brayden Point stepped into Fabbris spot next to McDavid and will be there again for Sunday nights semifinal game against Slovakia. Point had been Canadas 13th forward. Zach Davies Jersey. Coach Benoit Groulx said he was glad that Point was getting a chance but upset it came at the expense of losing Fabbri.Its very disappointing for him, obviously, Groulx said. Such a nice person and hes a great competitor. When you look at Robby Fabbri, when you look at the player itself, hes a very good hockey player. But what separates him from other players is how competitive he is and how much he wants to make the difference out there.Fabbri wont be able to make a difference the rest of the way for Canada, which all along has been favoured to win gold on home ice. It was not clear how much time Fabbri would miss for Guelph.Not all high ankle sprains are the same, but Toronto Maple Leafs winger Brandon Kozun recently missed more than six weeks with one.Fabbri said a couple of St. Louis staffers reached out to him along with star forwards T.J. Oshie and Jaden Schwartz. Fabbri is considered one of the Blues top prospects.In Blues camp this past fall, Fabbri was a huge surprise before suffering an upper-body injury. This is another blow.Ive had a little bit of a tough year this year, in St. Louis as well, Fabbri said. Everything happens for a reason and you just have to build off it and build character.Fabbri barely got to enjoy playing close to home at Air Canada Centre but is still a part of the camaraderie this group has been building for weeks. His teammates are glad hes still around and dont take his upbeat mood for granted.Hes a great guy on and off the ice, and his attitude is still really positive and hasnt changed at all, Domi said. Were going to need that from him.---Follow @SWhyno on Twitter ' ' '
