CONCORD, N.C. -- Joey Logano turned what could have been an awful 800 miles of racing into two small victories, one that earned him a trophy, the other a breather in the championship standings.A tire problem in the Hurricane Matthew-postponed opening race of the second round of the Chase cut Loganos day short by 120 miles. His 36th-place finish in the Sprint Cup race on Sunday would have been horrific for his championship chances if not for problems to nearly half the title-contenders.With a rare reprieve in the more important championship race, he turned his attention to the Xfinity Series race. It was the final race in the opening round of this series inaugural Chase, and Cup star Logano came away with the win. Four drivers were eliminated from the Xfinity Series playoffs, among them Ty Dillon, who came up a point short of advancing.That was a good recovery from the first part of my day, Logano said after the Xfinity Series win. I feel a lot better than I did about three or four hours ago.The race had been dominated by Kyle Larson until a late restart gave Logano the chance to get by him. Larson led 165 of the 200 laps and at one point had lapped all but one car in the field.Logano got the one chance on the restart, raced Larson three-wide for a lap, then cleared him and pulled away for the win.He was really fast, I knew my only shot was on a restart, Logano said. Its fun to race with no points, nothing to lose.Elliott Sadler finished second, Daniel Suarez was third, and Larson faded to fourth.Eliminated from the Xfinity Chase were Dillon, Brennan Poole, Ryan Sieg and Brandon Jones.We were terrible today, Dillon said. We were a team that should have been in the final round.The battle to advance into the second round had its own drama, such as Darrell Wallace Jr. finishing three laps down but beating Dillon by that single point.Yeah, its cool that we made it to the next round, but whos happy about the way we ran? said Wallace.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Almost 7,000 miles away from the Olympic Stadium, the Oregon Ducks have started football practice with an eye on the season-opening game.On Monday night, the Ducks will break for a team meeting to turn their attention to Rio de Janeiro and watch wide receiver Devon Allen make his Olympic debut. Allen will run in the opening heats of the 110-meter hurdles, a berth he earned by winning the Olympic Trials in front of his college community at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, last month.So confident Allen was going to be Rio-bound, he celebrated by leaping into the crowd and posing for selfies -- a move he planned the night before the trials.I asked some friends what should I do for my celebration? They were like, `You should jump into the stands where we are sitting, Allen said. They were sitting where my parents were sitting, so I scoped it out the day before to see how big the gap was. It was like a three-inch gap, so I knew I could make it. I would have jumped into the stands if I made third, but I was going in expecting to win.Allen is confident hell deliver again in Rio.Im really just going out there to win a gold medal, Allen said. My goal is to win every heat.His confidence soaring, Allen has got the next few weeks mapped out: Win a gold medal in Rio, return to Eugene on Aug. 23, regroup and then rejoin the Ducks. Maybe even in time for the Sept. 21 season-opener.Hes not positive thats doable because hes been so focused on track, hell need time to transition back into football once he returns to Oregon.If I miss the first game, its not the end of the world, Allen said. A week of football practice may not be enough. I want to really feel into it before I return.That this two-sport ride is even happening at all is quite the comeback tale. Allen had a breakout freshman season for Oregon in 2014 with 41 catches and seven touchdowns, only to tear his anterior cruciate ligament in the Rose Bowl.The recovery time was lengthy, but Allens ticket to Rio made it complete.This is the time of his life, and the three-time NCAA champion in hurdles has the resume to show how far hes come: Allen is the first collegian tto win the 110-meter hurdles at the Olympic Trials since Renaldo Nehemiah of Maryland in 1980, the first to win both NCAA and trials titles in the same year since Lee Calhoun of N.ddddddddddddC. Central in 1956, and his .18 margin of victory was the largest ever at the trials.Next up? A gold medal, of course, and this 21-year-old Phoenix native believes in himself and the goals he sets.He learned early at Oregon how to juggle two sports, academics and my social life as a kid, and came back from an injury that could have forced others to scale back to one discipline.But Allen has eyes on competing in both sports as long as possible. He runs the 40-yard dash in 4.3 seconds right now, and talks about getting it down to 4.2 for the NFL scouting combine.With a gold medal around his neck, he believes he can talk any potential NFL teams into also allowing him to continue his track career. Allen could also go pro in track after the Rio Olympics.As long as I dont sign a shoe endorsement, because the endorsement covers my likeness as an athlete and the NCAA owns my likeness as an athlete for my time in college, he said. I can compete in all the meets I want to professionally and win prize money and still play football.I just dont know if Id compete wearing an Oregon uniform or a T-shirt.He knows an argument can be made to transition into football only after the Olympics, but Allen doesnt see a need.American football is definitely more lucrative for great athletes, he said. Theres a lot of football players Ive been around who would be great track athletes, but they choose a different path. If I was born in Europe, Id probably be a soccer player because thats the popular sport there.A lot of U.S. athletes who are explosive and fast end up playing football because thats the most popular sport and its a sport where people can see their future, make some money in and live. Right now, Im considering doing both.---This story has been corrected to show that Allen runs the 40-yard dash in 4.3 seconds, not the 400. ' ' '
