FORT WORTH, Texas -- When qualifying ended at Texas Motor Speedway, Chase Elliott hopped a fence and went on his way without a single fan bothering to stop him for an autograph or picture. Dale Earnhardt Jr. watched the 18-year-old go by largely ignored and figured those days were numbered. "I thought to myself, I know hes going to win one day or another, and then just start railing off run after run after run and become the next best thing," Earnhardt said hours later. "It aint going to be long until hes going to be swarmed with attention." Boy, Earnhardt had that pegged. Elliott used a strong move on the outside to pass Kevin Harvick for the lead Friday night and then sailed away for his first career Nationwide Series victory. The 18-year-old won in his sixth career start and is the second youngest winner in series history. Hes roughly four months older than Joey Logano, who was 18 years and 21 days when he won his first career Nationwide race in 2008. Elliott won in a Chevrolet for JR Motorsports, driving the No. 9 as a tribute to his father, 1988 Cup champion Bill Elliott. "I cant believe it, just to have the opportunity to race with these guys at JR Motorsports, just to have this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any racer who wants to make it to the top," Elliott said. "It just means the word for me to be here." Elliott became the fourth driver in Nationwide history to earn his first series victory at Texas, joining Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kurt Busch and Trevor Bayne. The victory continues the youth initiative in NASCAR as first-time winners have now won consecutive races for the first time since 2008. Two weeks ago, 21-year-old Kyle Larson scored his first career win at California. For his efforts? Elliott gets to return home and go to school on Monday as he continues to finish his senior year of high school. "I guess it will just be a normal Monday. Nobody likes Mondays," Elliott said. "Im sure it will be the same old deal, have a bunch of homework to do when I get back and get ready to go to Darlington." The win wowed Elliotts father, and back home in Dawsonville, Ga., the siren outside the local pool room was blaring throughout the town to signify another local boys big victory. "Im about speechless," Bill Elliott said in Victory Lane. "I felt like Chase could do it. Ive watched him on Late Model team too much -- I know how good the kid really is. "To come here, to never have been to some of these places, like Las Vegas, California and now here at Texas, and come out and beat the kind of guys youve beat -- Ill tell you what, youve done a heck of a job." As a sign of how much respect Elliott already has among his peers, he was met following the win on pit road by Harvick, Larson and Kyle Busch. Then six-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson came to Victory Lane to congratulate him. "Its pretty awesome to see him succeed, I knew it was just a matter of time," said team co-owner Earnhardt Jr. "He has so much composure and ability and is years ahead of guys that age. And hes learning so much on the fly. Hes learning faster than you can teach him whats going on." Kyle Busch, a 65-time race winner in the Nationwide Series, finished second. He was third two weeks ago when Larson won, and hasnt seemed to mind these defeats. "These are the guys that are growing up and are young and being able to run hard and run strong and run with the best of them," said Busch. "Its neat to see them being successful and running with the best of them. I hate to lose, but its still cool to see the younger guys have the opportunities to win races and when they do, they seem to make it look good and win in style, so congrats to Chase." Elliott, who led four times for 38 laps, was strong Friday night and passed car owner Earnhardt Jr. for the lead at one point. But he was second behind Harvick on the final restart with 23 laps to go, and flirted several times with making a pass for the win before finally completing the move with a strong outside pass. "That was wild," said third-place finisher Larson. "Hed been trying to make it work and he must have had an extreme run that one time, got to Harvicks quarter panel and made him loose. From there on, I knew he was probably going to win the race unless we got a caution." Cheap NFL Jerseys Sale .

I dont want to be that guy who says Im in the best shape of my life and I never felt better, but I feel good, Hall said. For me, my stick handling, my shot, my skating is always there at the start of the year. Its just my thinking of the game and the way I process it that takes a while to get up to speed. So thats probably been my focus throughout training camp.Mark Fayne also scored for the Oilers, who improved to 3-2 in exhibition play.I thought we played a pretty solid game, said Oilers centre Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who had a pair of assists for four points in three exhibition games. Winnipeg always plays hard, they played us hard in Winnipeg too. Its good that we seem to be able to get a lead and hold on to that. Thats something when it comes to regular season we have to be better at for sure. It starts in exhibition and I thought a few games in exhibition have been good in that sense.Mathieu Perreault replied for the Jets, who fell to 1-3.You want to win no matter what, because we are competitive as professionals, but at the same time you have to learn from these games and do better in the next one, said Jets defenceman Mark Stuart, who made his pre-season debut. We did do some good things and threw some good shots on net, it was just not quite the emotional effort that you want.Winnipeg head coach Paul Maurice said that one positive was the play of Perreault, who signed a three-year deal as a free agent this summer after splitting last season between Washington and Anaheim.Mathieu Perreault is a really good player for us, said Maurice. He is going to fit really well and bring a lot five-on-five and five-on-four. I really like what he has. He can handle and move the puck and create some open space.Its good to have (Stuart) back and have some strength on that blue-line as well.Edmonton got on the board first, scoring on their first shot of the game three minutes into the first period. Junior-aged training camp invite Vladimir Tkachev continued his strong play as he seeks a contract, making a cross-ice pass to Fayne that he blasted high to the glove side past Winnipeg goalie Michael Hutchinson. It was Tkachevs third assist in three games for the Oilers.Edmonton looked to have taken a two-goal lead on the power play with six minutes left in the opening period, but Tyler Pitlicks goal wass called back due to incidental contact with the Jets goalie.dddddddddddd.Winnipeg had a glorious chance to tie the game with two minutes left in the first with several whacks during a scramble in front of the Oilers net, but couldnt manage to get one past Edmonton starter Viktor Fasth.Edmonton went up 2-0 two minutes into the second on a power-play goal as Nugent-Hopkins threaded a long saucer pass through a maze in front to hit Hall on the fly. He scored his first of the pre-season on a shot that Hutchinson got a piece of, but couldnt stop.It was great pass, its a new look on the power play for us, Hall said. It was really created by Pitlick getting open and attracting guys to him. It worked out tonight, I would have liked to get a few more chances on the power play to work on it but that will come as the pre-season wears on.The Jets finally found the back of the net themselves six-and-a-half minutes into the second as Perreault used an Oilers defender as a screen and sent a wrist shot into the net that Fasth could only wave at.Hall used a similar screen technique three minutes later as he stopped on a dime and then sent a shot through traffic and Hutchinsons legs and into the net for his second of the game. Daniel Taylor came in to replace Hutchinson in Winnipegs net after the goal.The Jets outshot the Oilers 26-15 through 40 minutes.There was no scoring in a rather uneventful third period that saw each team register only two shots apiece.The Jets return home to continue pre-season play against the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday.
