Go to mydailysentinel. com and visit us on facebook to share your thoughts. If you like your newspaper’s comic strips locally sourced along with your produce, you’re in luck. Starting this week, The Daily Sentinel, Gallipolis Daily Tribune and Point Pleasant Register, is picking up “Crankshaft,” written and drawn by Ohio natives Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis. The King Features comic strip replaces “Retail,” which was retired by its creator on Feb. 23. gpresley@aimmediamidwest.com “‘Crankshaft’ is a very Ohiocentric strip,” said Akron-born and Kent State-graduated Batiuk, who in 1987 spun “Crankshaft” off from the popular “Funky Winkerbean” strip he created in 1972. “It would probably have a greater relatability to people who live here in Ohio because I’m writing about my roots.” Davis, who lives in Celina and took over drawing the strip from Chuck Ayers in 2016, agrees that “Crankshaft” is infused with Ohioness, “a good Midwestern sensibil- ity.” “We’ve got a lot of good common sense out here. I try to use that whenever I can,” Davis said. Davis has drawn Batman for DC Comics, “Blondie” and “Alley Oop” and continues to draw “Garﬁeld.” For those unfamiliar with “Crankshaft,” the strip’s title character is school bus driver Ed Crankshaft Sr. “It’s kind of all there in the title,” Davis said.

MIDDLEPORT — The February free dinner at Friday, Feb. 28 �NEWS Daily Sentinel Tuesday, February 25, 2020 3 Pioneering black NASA mathematician dies Katherine Johnson leaves legacy By Ben Finley Associated Press Katherine Johnson, a mathematician who calculated rocket trajectories and earth orbits for NASA’s early space missions and was later portrayed in the 2016 hit film “Hidden Figures,” about pioneering black female aerospace workers, has died. She was 101. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said on Twitter that she died Monday morning. No cause was given. Bridenstine tweeted that the NASA family “will never forget Katherine Johnson’s courage and the milestones we could not have reached without her. Her story and her grace continue to inspire the world.” Johnson was one of the “computers” who solved equations by hand during NASA’s early years and those of its precursor organization, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. Johnson and other black women initially worked in a racially segregated computing unit in Hampton, Virginia, that wasn’t officially dissolved until NACA became NASA in 1958. Signs had dictated which bathrooms the women could use. Johnson focused on airplanes and other research at first. But her work at NASA’s Langley Research Center eventually shifted to Project Mercury, the nation’s first human space program. “My dad taught us ‘you are as good as anybody in this town, but you’re no better.’ I don’t have a feeling of inferiority. Never had. I’m as good as anybody, but no better.” — Katherine Johnson “Our office computed all the (rocket) trajectories,” Johnson told The Virginian-Pilot newspaper in 2012. “You tell me when and where you want it to come down, and I will tell you where and when and how to launch it.” In 1961, Johnson did trajectory analysis for Alan Shepard’s Freedom 7 Mission, the first to carry an American into space. The next year, she manually verified the calculations of a nascent NASA computer, an IBM 7090, which plotted John Glenn’s orbits around the planet. “Get the girl to check the numbers,” a computer-skeptical Glenn had insisted in the days before the launch. “Katherine organized herself immediately at her desk, growing phone-book-thick stacks of data sheets a number at a time, blocking out everything except the labyrinth of trajectory equations,” Margot Lee Shetterly wrote in her 2016 book “Hidden Figures,” on which the film is based. “It took a day and a half of watching the tiny digits pile up: eye- HISTORY LESSON Johnson was born Katherine Coleman on August 26, 1918, in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. She manually verified the calculations of a nascent NASA computer, an IBM 7090, which plotted John Glenn’s orbits around the planet. numbing, disorienting work,” Shetterly wrote. Shetterly told The Associated Press on Monday that Johnson was “exceptional in every way.” “The wonderful gift that Katherine Johnson gave us is that her story shined a light on the stories of so many other people,” Shetterly said. “She gave us a new way to look at black history, women’s history and American history.” Shetterly noted that Johnson died during Black History Month and a few days after the anniversary of Glenn’s orbits of the earth on Feb. 20, 1962, for which she played an important role. “We get to mourn her and also commemorate the work that she did that she’s most known for at the same time,” Shetterly said. Johnson considered her work on the Apollo moon missions to be her greatest contribution to space exploration.

She also worked on the Space Shuttle program before retiring in 1986. Johnson and her coworkers had been relatively unsung heroes of America’s Space Race. But in 2015, President Barack Obama awarded Johnson — then 97 — the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor. The “Hidden Figures” book and film followed, telling the stories of Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson, among others. Johnson was portrayed in the film by actress Taraji P. Henson. The film was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar and grossed more than $200 million worldwide. In 2017, Johnson was brought on stage at the Academy Awards ceremony to thunderous applause.

PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE. Natural gas is an extremely safe form of energy and is transported to industrial, commercial and residential customers by buried pipelines. Natural gas pipelines are built and operated in accordance with State and Federal Safety Codes. Pipelines are a reliable and safe method to transport natural gas. Homeowners and Excavators are required by law to “call before you dig”. Always call 811 before you dig. It is a free call and there is no cost to the homeowner to have underground utilities located. You are required to call at least 48 hrs. in advance of digging in Ohio and Indiana, 72 hrs in advance in Pennsylvania. The 811 number is good everywhere. The utility companies will mark the underground facilities with paint and flags. You are required to hand dig test holes carefully to determine the exact location and depth of the buried utility. Damage to natural gas lines may cause leakage resulting in a fire or an explosion. Natural gas has a chemical additive that gives it a familiar “rotten egg” odor; however smelling natural gas is not the only method of detecting a gas leak. A gas leak may be indicated by observing dirt blowing on the ground, bubbling in a water puddle or an unusual area of dead vegetation. You may also hear a hissing sound. If you suspect a natural gas leak call 911 and the Natural Gas Emergency number below. Gas companies work with emergency responders and state and local agencies to prevent and prepare for emergencies. They maintain up to date operations and maintenance procedures that are made available to local and state authorities. Gas companies are required to perform pressure tests on pipelines before they are put in service. Federal codes require periodic leak surveys to locate leaks so they may be repaired before they become hazardous. If you suspect the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) in your home, call 911, open windows and if necessary, leave your residence. The presence of CO is an indication of a malfunctioning gas, propane, oil or wood-burning appliance. It is not caused by a gas leak.

In 1953, she started working at the all-black West Area Computing unit at what was then called Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory in Hampton. Johnson’s ﬁrst husband died in 1956. She married James A. Johnson in 1959. Johnson spent her later years encouraging students to enter the ﬁelds of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Looking back, she said she had little time to worry about being treated unequally. “My dad taught us ‘you are as good as anybody in this town, but you’re no better,’” Johnson told NASA in 2008. “I don’t have a feeling of inferiority. Never had. I’m as good as anybody, but no better.” Public Awareness Safety Message Keep RANDY SMITH Vaughan had died in 2005 and 2008 respectively. Johnson was born Katherine Coleman on August 26, 1918, in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, near the Virginia border. The small town had no schools for blacks beyond the eighth grade, she told The Richmond Times-Dispatch in 1997. Each September, her father drove Johnson and her siblings to Institute, West Virginia, for high school and college on the campus of the historically black West Virginia State College.

We thoroughly enjoy long driving trips. We see amazing sights, meet some wonderful people, learn from locals and enjoy each other’s company. On that trip, we were gone for slightly over a month and logged over 10,000 miles on the road and on an auto-ferry trip from Bellingham, Washington to Whittier, Alaska. We did a lot of traveling in those 32 days. Randy Years ago, I heard that Napoleon Riley Bonaparte famously stated, “An army Contributing travels on its stomach.” I’m not sure columnist about Napoleon and his army, but Debbie and I sure do. Debbie is an absolute whiz on her iPad. She can make a mobile-hot-spot using her iPhone and ﬁnd places to eat and sleep almost anywhere in the country. One of our frequent topics when we stop and eat is, “Where are we going to eat next?” We deﬁnitely love to travel on our stomachs. One morning, as we rolled down the highway, I found myself in a real pancake-mood. Luckily, there was a Perkins just off the road. So, we zipped right in and settled into a booth. On our table was a laminated information card about the “Give Kids the World Village.” Perkins is one of their major corporate sponsors. We had heard about the project from our daughter, Jessi. A few years earlier, our grandson Clayton, had been diagnosed with retinoblastoma – cancer of the eye. Before he was two years old, he had his right eye and part of his optic nerve removed. He then went through six months of chemotherapy. For a long time, he was a very sick little boy, but he never lost the joy and enthusiasm that little Clayton was born with. Everyone who met him immediately fell in love with him. During one of his hospital stays, Jessi was told that Clayton qualiﬁed for a “Make a Wish” experience. After some discussion and planning, it was arranged for the entire family to visit Disney World the following summer. Clayton was mainly excited about maybe meeting Captain America. The “Make a Wish” staff arranged for the family to be housed at a very special resort that is technically not a part of Disney World — it is called “Give the Kids the World Village.” The village is on 84 acres just minutes from the heart of Disney World. Building the village was the passion of Henri Landwirth. Landwirth was a holocaust survivor. Following WWII, he worked his way from Belgium to New York City on a freighter. He arrived with just $20 in his pocket and quickly enlisted in the army. After serving his newly adopted country, he was able to use his GI beneﬁts to study hotel management. Ten years later, he landed a management job in Cocoa Beach. It became his lifelong career and passion. He loved serving others. Several years later, Landwirth was asked to provide a complimentary hotel stay for a young girl named Amy. She had been diagnosed with end-stage leukemia. Amy wanted to visit the Orlando area and their many theme parks with her family. Henri was excited to be able to help her, but before he could put all the pieces of her trip together, she died. He vowed to himself that that would never happen again. To keep everything ready for a sick child to visit Disney World, he developed “Give the Kids the World Village”. Everything a child would need is now immediately available at his new resort. Working with the “Make-A-Wish Foundation”, the families of thousands of children who have faced death have been able to enjoy the delights of Disney World and Orlando without spending a dime of their own money. A few years ago, Clayton became one of those very special children. When our waitress arrived, I noticed that her name tag said “Manager.” We ordered coffee and asked her about the laminated card and the “Give the Kids the World Village.” She told me that Perkins collected money for the project, but she really didn’t know anything about it. So, I told her about Clayton. I told her about his experience with cancer and about his amazing adventures at the “Give the Kids the World Village” that Perkins supported. By the time we ﬁnished talking, we all had tears in our eyes. She simply said, “I had no idea what that was about, but now I’m going to tell everyone.” That summer, after Clayton got home, he was overﬂowing with stories, smiles and laughter about his trip. Clayton and his sisters were made to feel special. They received VIP treatment everywhere they went. Thanks to Make-a-Wish-Foundation and Give-TheKids-The-World-Village, Clayton got to hang-out with his favorite superhero – Captain America. In reality, Clayton will always be my superhero — my favorite, cancer-ﬁghting superhero. THEIR VIEW Plants need to breathe Plants breathe through their roots. If there’s a piece of knowledge that separates “green thumb” gardeners from the rest of us, it’s that one simple idea. Plants breathe through their roots. Roots need contact with air. I belabor this point all day long, to young and old, novice and professional, farmer and city slicker. Give me a podium or a microphone or a circle of eager students, and I’ll preach that one single take-home message. Plants breathe through their roots. Did I already say that? Next time you buy a pot-grown plant of any kind, take a good look at the “soil” in the pot. It’s barely there. It dries out in a ﬂash, and then it’s just ﬂuff and air. Why? Because growers know that plants breathe through their roots. The more air is in the pot instead of dirt, the faster the plant will grow and bloom and sell and turn into cash, so the grower can sell it and plant the next one. Growers are intent on making a proﬁt, the bottom of the and they do whatpot are for; excess ever it takes to get water falls out their crop big and the bottom and healthy and colorful is replaced with and SOLD, which (guess what?) means they stay air.

Remember these simple ideas: 1. Plants breathe through their roots (yes, I said it again). 2. Fluffy dirt (soil mixed with air) is the grower’s secret. 3. Plant just deep enough so the top of the pot soil or root ball is level with the ground around it. 4. Never, never, NEVER cover the top of the pot soil or root ball with dirt. 5.

Bulldogs win TVC wrestling title Raiders land two individual champs in runner-up effort By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com MERCERVILLE, Ohio — Like déjà vu all over again. Athens repeated as champions, while River Valley and Trimble completed the top three spots for a second consecutive year on Saturday during the 2020 Tri-Valley Conference wrestling championships held at South Gallia High School in Gallia County. The Bulldogs claimed a league-best ﬁve weight class championships and defeated the 12-team ﬁeld by more than 90 points after posting a decisive winning tally of 215 points. The Raiders were the overall runner-up for the third time in four years with a ﬁnal tally of 122.5 points, while Trimble was the highest-placing TVC Hocking Division program after ﬁnishing third with 101 points. Alexander (80.5), Vinton County (71) and Waterford (42) rounded out the top half of the ﬁeld, while South Gallia (40), Nelsonville-York (32), Meigs (23) and Eastern (21) rounded out the seven through 10 spots. Neither Federal Hocking nor Wellston scored at the annual competition. The Raiders came away with nine top four ﬁnishes, including a pair of league champions out of four weight class ﬁnalists. The sophomore duo of Nathan Cadle and Will Hash both repeated as TVC champions as Hash went 3-0 with a pinfall at 152 pounds, while Cadle went 3-0 with two pinfall wins and a technical fall en route to the 138pound crown. Andrew Huck and Nathan Brown both ended the weekend with runner-up efforts in their weight classes.

(AP) — Shogo Akiyama gave Cincinnati Reds fans a small taste of what he can provide at the top of the batting order and in the outﬁeld Sunday in his ﬁrst spring training game with the team. Akiyama, hitting leadoff and playing center ﬁeld, lined the second pitch he saw from Chicago White Sox starter Dylan Cease into right ﬁeld for a single. In the top of the third inning, he made a running catch going to his left on a sinking line drive from Nicky Delmonico. The ﬁve-time Paciﬁc League AllStar is the ﬁrst player from Japan to sign a major league contract with the Reds. At least a dozen Japanese media members tracked his every move before and after his day at Goodyear Ballpark in the Reds’ spring training opener. The perception of Akiyama in Japan is that he isn’t on the same level as Los Angeles Angels two-way player Shohei Ohtani or former Seattle Mariners outﬁelder Ichiro Suzuki, both of whom took the majors by storm when they arrived in the U.S. But Akiyama holds the Japanese league record for hits in a season with 216, set in 2015. “I was very nervous, but deﬁnitely relieved that I got my ﬁrst hit,” the left-handed-hitting Akiyama said through a translator. “It was also good that I was able to see a lot of pitches.” After four innings in the ﬁeld, he grounded into a ﬁelder’s choice in his third and ﬁnal at-bat. But reaching ﬁrst allowed him to try stealing a Tuesday, February 25, 2020 7 base, which he’d done 112 times in his nine-year career in Japan. “It wasn’t a goal, but I just wanted to see if I could do it,” Akiyama said. “To see if I have a chance. It was good that I was able to run it out.” Akiyama was thrown out at second base to end the fourth inning and his day. The Reds signed the 31-year-old Akiyama to a three-year, $21 million contract in the offseason, winning the bidding for his services as part of a roster makeover that the team hopes will help it contend in the NL Central. While it’s not a certainty that Akiyama will be the Reds’ regular center ﬁelder, his ability to get on base is something Cincinnati was seeking at the top of its order. He’s clearly still learning and adjusting both on the ﬁeld and off. After his single, he was almost picked off when leaning too far off ﬁrst base. Reds fans are adjusting to Akiyama, too. He got light applause when introduced in the starting lineup, slapping hands with the Reds mascot as he took his place next to manager David Bell along the third base line. “He looked great. He looked comfortable,” Bell said. “I know it’s just spring training but it’s kind of nice to get a hit in your ﬁrst at-bat to kind of take the pressure off. He said he was nervous before the game. I didn’t really see that. There’s some extra feelings there for him I’m sure, but it was nice to get into the ﬂow of the game really quick.” COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State coach Chris Holtmann sat across from Luther Muhammad at a recent lunch and told him there would soon be a day when the sophomore guard would need to “be the difference.” That day turned out to be Sunday. Muhammad scored 22 points and No. 25 Ohio State beat No. 7 Maryland 79-72, snapping the Terrapins’ ninegame winning streak. Ohio State (18-9, 8-8 Big Ten) defeated a Top-10 team for the fourth time this season. “He had big 3s, great conﬁdence,” Holtmann said of Muhammad, who went 4 of 8 from beyond the arc. “They went under a lot of those ball screens at times and he was able to raise up and shoot it behind it, which was huge. I think he’s playing with a lot of conﬁdence.” Four other Buckeyes scored in double ﬁgures, led by Kaleb Wesson with 15 points. Duane Washington Jr. added 13, while Andre Wesson and C.J. Jackson each had 12. “I am just happy we won,” Muhammad said. “I’m happy we all played hard, happy we stayed together. They made a lot of runs. They dug themselves back into the game. We just stayed together.” Aaron Wiggins led Maryland (22-5, 12-4) with 20 points and Eric Ayala had 16, but the Terrapins got little help from their big guns. Leading scorer Jalen Smith, who averages 17.1 points per game, was held to eight. Anthony Cowan, who averages 16.9, scored 10 before fouling out. “They deserve all the credit,” Mary- land coach Mark Turgeon said. “They made us pay for mistakes. They got loose balls. They got free throws. They were terriﬁc. “My guys battled. We didn’t compete the ﬁrst two minutes of the ﬁrst half. Then we started to compete, we battled, never gave up. They were the better team.” The Buckeyes dominated from outside, shooting 40% (10 for 25) from 3-point range. The Terrapins fought back late, getting within four points with 32 seconds left, but the Buckeyes put the game away at the free throw line, where they went 16 of 16. “The real step for them has to be consistency, including doing it on the road,” Holtmann said. “That is the sign of good players — can you be consistent home and on the road? We are not there. We are too inconsistent.” Ohio State is at Nebraska on Thursday. OUT WITH A KICK Cowan fouled out with 3:54 left in the game after being assessed a ﬂagrant technical for kicking at Kaleb Wesson’s head after a pileup under the basket. BULLY FOR YOU Turgeon on Kaleb Wesson: “He was allowed to be the bully offensively today. If he’s allowed to be the bully, he is a heck of a player.” Holtmann had a different take. “Mark said that? To each his own. His opinion can be his opinion. I thought Kaleb was physical and well within the rules,” the OSU coach said. Love of basketball put Bryant, others on final fatal flight LOS ANGELES (AP) — The six passengers traveling with Kobe Bryant and his daughter in the helicopter that crashed into a Southern California mountainside last month were joined by their love of basketball. Among them, two teammates of Bryant’s 13-olddaughter, a coach with a rising proﬁle in girls’ basketball and three parents of basketball-crazed children. Their pilot, who was taking them to a basketball tournament, was a veteran ﬂier whose friends and customers said was exactly the guy a passenger would want at the controls. KOBE and GIANNA BRYANT: Kobe Bryant liked to tell the story of how fans would approach to ask the father of four daughters when he was going to have a son who could carry on his basketball legacy. His precocious 13-year-old would respond, saying, “Oy, I got this.” Gianna Bryant, known as Gigi to family and friends, was infused with the same burning desire for basketball greatness that had driven her father to 18 All-Star Game appearances and ﬁve NBA championships during a 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers. The pair could sometimes be seen courtside at Lakers games, where Bryant, his arm around her, would explain the intricacies of a sport he’d dedicated himself to since age 6, determined to become one of its greatest players. Four years into retirement, Bryant, 41, had moved into a second career as a storyteller and advocate for women’s sports. He’d won an Academy Award in 2018 for the animated short ﬁlm “Dear Basketball” and was taking his daughter, a budding basketball star herself, to a girls tournament sponsored by the Mamba Sports Academy he’d co-founded two years before. JOHN, KERI AND ALYSSA ALTOBELLI John Altobelli was a renowned ﬁgure in college baseball. Altobelli, 56, had led his Orange Coast College baseball team to more than 700 victories and four state championships during a 27-year career that earned him national coach of the year honors in 2019 from the American Baseball Coaches Association. Basketball was his 14-year-old daughter Alyssa’s sport, however, and she was a teammate of Gianna Bryant who hoped to someday play college ball. She also loved animals, according to friends, so much so that she took home turtles from her school’s science class if she feared they were being mistreated. Friends remembered her 46-year-old mother, Keri, as a dedicated mom and wife who made it a point to attend all of her children’s games, joking that she’d sat in a particular spot in the bleachers so many times she should have a plaque there with her name engraved on it. Bryant, friends with Altobelli, had offered him and his family a ride on the helicopter that day so he could beat trafﬁc to the tournament. TheAltobellisare survived by two other children. SARAH AND PAYTON CHESTER Sarah Chester, a former college volleyball player, was traveling to the game with her 13-year-old daughter, Payton, who was also a teammate of Gianna Bryant. Payton played on both the Mamba girls team and for St. Margaret’s Episcopal School, where she was an eighth-grader and her 45-year-old mother was a member of the board of trustees. Payton, her father said, had hoped to play in the WNBA someday. “She found joy on any court and loved all of her teammates and coaches,” he said shortly after her death. Of his wife he said, “Sarah was full of life and the glue of our family.” the Mamba girls team traveling that day to the Mamba Cup tournament in Thousand Oaks, was establishing herself as a superior basketball coach. Kobe Bryant had personally recruited her for his Mamba Sports Academy after seeing her coach girls basketball at the private school in Southern California that his daughter attended. Mauser, 38, had been a star athlete herself, in volleyball and basketball, at Huntington Beach’s Edison High School, where she was inducted into the ARA ZOBAYAN When you went up in a helicopter, people said, Ara Zobayan was the guy you’d want at the controls. He not only greeted everyone with a big grin but was one of the most experienced helicopter pilots around, with top ratings and more than 8,200 hours of flight time amassed over two decades. “That’s a guy who you ask for to fly you from city to city,” said Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard. He often flew with Zobayan, whom he said would tell him from time to time that Bryant had asked him to remember to say hello. Zobayan was chief pilot for Island Express Helicopters and had flown Bryant to another Mamba Cup game the day before.

(AP) — When the University of Michigan announced last week that allegations of decades-old sexual misconduct by a sports doctor were under investigation, former wrestler Mike DiSabato was stunned by the parallels to an abuse scandal at his alma mater, Ohio State. The accusations by several people against Dr. Robert E. Anderson regarded during long tenures and at some point focused on researching or treating genital ailments. “It’s unbelievable, yet totally believable,” DiSabato said in an interview with The Associated Press. Former athletes have alleged that both doctors performed inappropriate or unnecessary exams. They said some athletes joked and warned each other about the behavior at Michigan immediately called to mind claims DiSabato and hundreds of other men made about Dr. Richard Strauss at Ohio State. The two cases had striking similarities. Two physicians, both dead for years, are now accused of using their positions to abuse male athletes and students. Both men worked in athletics and student health care, were well- (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN Help Wanted General Kimes Steel & Rail, Inc. 3RVLWLRQ DYDLODEOH Full and Part time *HQHUDO /DERU� &1& 0DFKLQLVW DQG PDQXIDFWXULQJ Apply Only @ Kimessteel.com 5HTXLUHPHQW RI D PLQLPXP RI � PRQWKV FRQWLQXRXV (PSOR\PHQW LQ WKH SDVW �� PRQWKV� under scrutiny by state regulators in the mid1990s, but the cases were closed. The accusations against Strauss and Anderson were brought to the attention of university ofﬁcials by former wrestlers just a few months apart in 2018, but the resulting investigations and responses have followed different timelines. Ohio State launched a school-funded investi- gation by a law ﬁrm in April 2018. Those investigators concluded last year that Strauss sexually abused young men for nearly two decades, starting in the late 1970s, and that school ofﬁcials failed to stop him. The university has apologized and promised a “ monetary resolution,” though the federal lawsuits against the school remain unsettled after months of mediation.

Logano still wound up in victory lane for the second year in a row, winning a two-lap sprint to the ﬁnish that ended under caution. A caution with six laps remaining forced teams to make strategic decisions and crew chief Paul Wolfe told Logano to come to pit road for new tires. Logano didn’t hear Wolfe and remained on track, a move that cycled him into the lead but put him in position to hold off a slew of contenders on fresh tires. Logano knew it was critical to get his Ford separated from the pack quickly on the restart to have any shot at the win. “Clean air was going to be key with old tires,” he said. “If I got swallowed up by a couple cars, I was just going to fall backwards really quick.” Logano got a push from Ricky Stenhouse Jr. on the restart with two laps remaining, then threw a block on William Byron to maintain his position out front that Logano called “the winning move. “I was able to get down in front of him and then be able to separate myself a little bit from the ﬁeld,” he said. Logano, the 2018 champion, just missed advancing to the championship race last season. At the start of this year, owner Roger Penske announced he’d swapped the crews of Logano, Ryan Blaney and Brad Keselowski, with Logano getting Wolfe, the crew chief who led Keselowski to a Cup title. They’ve worked together at the track the last three weeks and Logano praised the new pairing. “He’s done such a great job, and it’s been fun getting to know each other, and the whole team,” Logano said. “The pit crew was amazing today. I think we gained a spot every time at least. Proud of the effort that everyone has put in over the offseason.” Logano had taken the white ﬂag when a crash occurred deep in trafﬁc to bring out the caution, freeze the ﬁeld and secure the victory for the No. 22 Ford. The 24th victory of Logano’s career broke a tie with Ricky Rudd for 35th on NASCAR’s alltime win list. Matt DiBenedetto in a Ford for the Wood Brothers — a Penske partner — for his second race was 0.491 seconds behind to tie his career-best ﬁnish. “This is all just too surreal,” he said. “Tough to be that close, but, hey, this is only the second race of the season. So it was the strength of this team. It’s so cool to have the backing of all the people that allow me to drive this thing.” Stenhouse, pole-sitter for the Daytona 500 a week ago, was third in a Chevrolet in his second race for new team JTGDaugherty Racing. “So far so good,” Stenhouse said. “Two weeks, we’ve been fast this week, we weren’t bad this week, and we know what we need to work on.” Austin Dillon was fourth for Richard Childress Racing and followed by Jimmie Johnson, Bubba Wallace, Logano teammate Keselowski and Kevin Harvick. Kyle Larson and Ty Dillon rounded out the top 10. Daytona 500 winner great restarts. These guys kind of ate me alive on the restarts and I’d lose three or four spots every time, and picked the wrong lines through one and two, and then three and four again I just kept making silly mistakes that I should learn from after I make the mistake once. I just have to be better.” Denny Hamlin was the highest-ﬁnishing Toyota driver in 17th as the brand and Joe Gibbs Racing struggled the entire 400 miles. Ross Chastain drove the No. 6 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing as the replacement driver for Ryan Newman, who suffered a head injury in a crash on the ﬁnal lap of Monday night’s Daytona 500. It ended a streak of 649 consecutive starts dating to 2002 for Newman, who has no timetable for a return but his team said Sunday that he intends to get back in his car. Chastain ﬁnished 29th, in part because of a late spin, but ran inside the top-10 earlier in the race. Roush Fenway has not indicated who will drive the car next week. Chastain was bitterly disappointed as he headed to his Xﬁnity Series car for the resumption of Saturday’s race, which was rained out after 50 laps and rescheduled for after the main event. “I was just overdriving there at the end for sure. It just got away from me there and got loose,” Chastain said. “The car deserved a lot better ﬁnish. I just didn’t have Bad break Chase Elliott appeared to be the driver to beat through the ﬁrst two stages, both wins for Elliott in his Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet. But his shot to win the race ended after a tire issue following a pit stop from the lead caused Elliott to hit the wall. He had led ﬁve different times for 70 laps, with the two stage victories, before heading to pit road for repairs. Elliott ﬁnished 26th. Blaney bounces back An emotional week for Ryan Blaney ended with an 11th place ﬁnish at Las Vegas and Blaney moving toward closure after Ryan Newman’s crash on the ﬁnal lap of Monday night’s Daytona 500. It was contact from Blaney that triggered Newman’s crash, and Blaney said Sunday morning before the race he struggled in the ﬁrst few days over his role in the accident. “I talked to his dad on Tuesday and said when he’s feeling better, I’d like to talk to Ryan,” Blaney told The Associated Press. “Ryan called me Wednesday and just talking to him, hearing him, really made things easier.” Blaney said he’d never before been involved in such a violent crash and the potential of Newman being hurt rattled him. “You never want to see something like that, especially coming off your own nose,” Blaney told AP. Blaney thought he had a shot to win the race until he was one of the drivers to pit on the ﬁnal stop and he failed to make up the difference with his fresh tires. Up next Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California, where Kyle Busch won last season. It is not determined if Ryan Newman will be back in his car next week, or if the team will use a replacement driver again.
