Childress will try again to win more with four
Three-car team is solid heading to Michigan, but expansion looms
BY CHRIS JENKINS
brooklyn, mich. — Richard Childress Racing got better when itgot smaller, shrinkingfromfour teams to three in the offseason.So it stands to reason that Childress might think twice before taking another shot at expanding his team. Of course, the possibility of
landing driver Paul Menard — and his lucrative family sponsor- ship—can be very convincing. Childress announced this past
week that he’ll field a fourth car forMenard next season, with the car number and crew chief to be determined. And Childress ex- pects it to work much better than last year. “We’re going to do this team
completely different than we did that one,” Childress said. It could be a risky move for
Childress, given the fact that his team suddenly reclaimed its sta- tus as one of NASCAR’s best after it went from four cars to three. Going into Sunday’s Carfax
400 at Michigan International Speedway, Childress driver Kevin Harvick is leading the Sprint Cup series points standings and team- mate Jeff Burton is third. Clint Bowyer is 13th, 10 points out of the final Chase-eligible spot. It’s a dramatic turnaround
from 2009, when Childress field- ed four cars and none made the Chase. When Childress eliminat-
ed the fourth car driven by Casey Mears, the best crew members from that team were absorbed into the other three teams. “I have been a proponent for,
ever since I have been at RCR, to expand to four teams,” Burton said. “Andeven last year,whenwe had the fourth team and we weren’t running well, It wasn’t the fault of the fourth team.Now, I will tell you when we went from four to three, we got strong be- cause we took the very best peo- ple and made three. So what that means is, when we do four, we have got to go get the very best people to create four. We can’t take from the three that we have to make four, we have to expand to four.” If done correctly, Burton said
an expansion could make the team even stronger. “We didn’t do four teams
right. We did four teams wrong,” Burton said. “This time [we have] a clear picture of what we did wrong andwe’ve got tomake sure we learned that and that is what Richard is committed to. I would not have supported a fourth team if we were doing it just to hire enough people to run the fourth team.” Childress said his team is bet-
ter organized with stronger en- gine and engineering programs. RCR also appears to be in good shape off the track. Childress said he expects to announce a spon- sorship deal for Harvick as soon as this week, eliminating one of the team’s main concerns. “I think that is the biggest
thing, it’s about people,” Chil- dress said.

Drogba scores three on opening day
Chelsea wins, 6-0; Howard mistake leads to Everton loss
ASSOCIATED PRESS Didier Drogba scored a hat
tricktoleaddefending champion Chelsea to a 6-0 win over West Bromwich Albion on Saturday’s opening day of the English Pre- mierLeague season. Florent Malouda put Chelsea
ahead early before Drogba hit a free kick and a close-range finish tomove into sixth place on Chel- sea’s listof career scoringleaders. Frank Lampard passed into
the net before Drogba hit a de- flected shot in at the near post andMalouda scored again in the lastminute. “It’s a good start but there are
difficult moments and they are coming,”Drogba said. The big victory gives Chelsea
an early lift before last season’s runner-up, Manchester United, kicks off against Newcastle on Monday. Arsenal is at Liverpool inSunday’s game. Goalkeeper Joe Hart saved

PaulMenard, above, will return Richard Childress’s stable of drivers to four. This year, Childress teams are 1st, 3rd and 13th in points.
Manchester City as the big- spending Blues escaped with a 0-0 drawdespite being dominat- ed at Tottenham. And Blackpool returned to England’s topflight for the first time since 1971witha 4-0winatWigan. Gary Taylor-Fletcher put the
Tangerines ahead inthe 16th and Marlon Harewood scored twice
before halftime. Alex Baptiste thenroundedoff thescoringwith 15 minutes left with a 30-yard shot. Blackpool was temporarily
atopthePremierLeague. “Iwill takeaphotographof the
table and then retire,” Blackpool Manager IanHolloway said. Also Saturday, a mistake by
U.S. goalie Tim Howard gave Blackburna1-0victoryoverEver- ton.
Manchester United Manager
Alex Ferguson had predicted Everton could finish in the top four this season. But a mishan- dled ball by Howard led directly to a 14th-minute goal by Nikola Kalinic for thehostRovers. Manchester City has spent
more than $156 million on play- ers since Tottenham edged it to fourth place and a Champions League qualifying berth last sea- son. But none of its newcomers
made an impact at White Hart Lane and young goalkeeper Joe Hart won the man-of-the-match awardfor a string of saves. “Theyoungkidhadagreatday
today,” TottenhamManagerHar- ry Redknapp said. “I thought it was a greatperformance fromus. We were fantastic but we just couldn’t get the two extrapoints. “But if we play like this all
seasonwewill be rightupthere.” England midfielder James
