MIAMI BEACH, Fla. -- Tony Stewart will carry each of his Stewart-Haas Racing employees with him for his final NASCAR race.Stewarts No. 14 Chevrolet will have a special paint scheme complete with each SHR employees signature with the words Always a Racer, Forever a Champion as well as pictures of his 18-year career on the hood. A three-time champion, Stewart is retiring after the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.Stewarts team also will host about 75 SHR guests for the finale. Aside from that, he hopes to keep a low profile through the weekend.We didnt want all the ceremony and distraction this year, Stewart said. We just wanted to focus on the race car and run well and let the NASCAR fans see us race a final time.Stewart asked to skip the pomp and circumstance that accompanied Jeff Gordons retirement last year. Instead, he chose to focus on his team. The result was five top-five finishes, eight top-10s and a win in June. Stewart passed Denny Hamlin on the last lap at Sonoma Raceway to claim his 49th career victory and earn a berth in the Chase for the championship. Stewart failed to advance past the round of 12, though.In retirement, Stewart plans to race dirt tracks, oversee his World of Outlaws team and Eldora Speedway next year. He also will keep up with his duties at SHR and help Clint Bowyer make the transition as his replacement.Youre going to see me driving a lot next year, but most of it will be on dirt, Stewart said. I kind of look at this as halftime of my career, and Ill still be around the NASCAR garage. Ill just have more time. If I see Richard Petty or anyone else in the garage, I can go over and talk to him now and not have to worry about getting to the car or trying to figure out how to make my car go faster. I can focus now on what I want to do and my job at SHR.---More AP auto racing: www.racing.ap.org Buy Shoes Australia . Rinne played two periods in his first game since left hip surgery in early May.

CHASKA, Minn. -- Masters champion Danny Willett hopes Team USA fans dont go too far after he heard a few hecklers during practice on Thursday.He wants to finally focus on Ryder Cup golf after having to apologize for disparaging comments made about the home supporters by his brother, Pete.Willett learned Wednesday of the blog Pete Willett wrote for the National Club Golfer website. It described U.S. fans as a baying mob of imbeciles and pudgy basement-dwelling irritants pausing between mouthfuls of hot dog so they can scream Baba booey until their jelly faces turn red, among other things.Some believed the story to be tongue-in-cheek, but European captain Darren Clarke was not pleased, nor was Danny Willett, who said the distraction has dampened his first Ryder Cup experience.We [Danny and Pete] spoke to each other about what was said, how it got interpreted and reactions from it, Willett said Thursday during a news conference at Hazeltine National, where the 41st edition of the competition begins on Friday.I was disappointed in what he wrote and obviously it put a bit of a downer on my first Ryder Cup for the last couple of days.Luckily, its not been too bad with the fans. The fans have still been great. Theres a few shouts out there but you can expect that.The golf itself so far has been pretty good, and hopefully everyone can draw a line under it and we can just come out here and play.Its been pretty tricky for me to get back on and fully focus thhese last few hours.ddddddddddddWillett said he has spoken to U.S. captain Davis Love III and done his best to defuse the situation. He noted how great American fans were to him when he won the Masters in April, but also acknowledged that the Ryder Cup is different.I dont think anyone ever came to America, any of the European lads, and thought it was going to be a walk in the park, Willett said. Theres some pretty rowdy American fans every Ryder Cup. Thats the nature of the beast.Same when the guys come to Europe. Obviously, the European spectators are more behind the European team. You dont mind the odd bit of heckling, but hope it doesnt go too far.Lee Westwood, who is playing in his 10th Ryder Cup and is a fellow Englishman, said he enjoys the partisan atmosphere the competition generates but sympathized with Willett.Its a tricky situation that hes been put in, one that Im sure he didnt want to be in, Westwood said. But things dont always run smoothly. He seems to be handling it fairly well.Its not his opinion, its not really anything to do with him. He should be left to just play golf. Thats what the Ryder Cups about, 12 players teeing it up, playing a golf match against each other -- not all this other stuff.Its not in the spirit of it. Samuel Ryder -- just read his idea on it and well just stick to that, I think. ' ' '
