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. Mens Nike Free 5.0 V4 Running Shoes Light Grey/Dark Brown/White . 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." Mens Nike Air Max 90 Knit Shoes Yellow/Green . "I like the toughness factor in certain situations where last year and two years ago wed get bumped, get hit [and] wouldnt respond," Casey said an hour and a half before facing the league-best Thunder, a team that hadnt yet lost at home.

Ginobili is no longer the only player giving the Spurs a jolt of enthusiasm and showmanship off the bench.Another night and another elimination game for the Canadiens. Montreal looks to stay alive once more and force a seventh game back at the Bell Centre on Saturday when they take on the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final tonight. You can listen to the game live on TSN Radio 690 and TSN.ca/Montreal at 8pm et/5pm pt. Also, TSN.ca features live streaming of the Bell Centre viewing party in Montreal and the post-game news conferences with head coaches Michel Therrien and Alain Vigneault. Down 3-1 in their series on Tuesday, Rene Bourque notched his first career postseason hat trick as the Habs pulled out an entertaining 7-4 win in Game 5. "It was a happy moment, especially when this team was facing elimination," Bourque said. "Everyone was ready for this game in a tense situation. After they tied it, we had to settle down. We had to make it work again to bounce back. Weve been here before; we have to relax and get back to the basics instead of running around." Bourque wasnt the only prominent Canadien on the scoreboard, as Max Pacioretty and Alex Galchenyuk added a goal and assist each for the Canadiens with additional tallies from Tomas Plekanec and David Desharnais. Andrei Markov added three helpers, Lars Eller and Dale Weise assisted on a pair of scoress apiece, while Dustin Tokarski stopped 23 shots in the victory.

Cam Talbot surrendered two goals on eight shots in relief of Henrik Lundqvist, who exited after yielding four goals on 19 chances. Derek Stepan returned from a broken jaw to net a pair of goals for the Rangers, who battled back from a 4-1 deficit but get another chance to close out the series on home ice in Game 6 on Thursday. The Rangers will be without the services of John Moore for the rest of the series, after the defenceman received a two-game suspension for a high hit on Montreals Dale Weise late in the third period. Former Canadiens Raphael Diaz, who hasnt played yet in this series, could draw in for Moore. Weise will not play tonight, while defenceman Alexei Emelin will be a game-time decision. Emelin missed Game 5 and was replaced in the lineup by Nathan Beaulieu. Brandon Prust, who got his own two-game ban for a similar hit to Stepan in Game 3, returns to the lineup. With 10 postseason wins, the 2013-14 Canadiens have gone further than any Montreal team in the playoffs since their Stanley Cup winning run in 1993. The Rangers, playing in their third conference final in 20 years, are looking to return to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since Mark Messiers team won a championship in 1994. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' '
