Black- and Whitelist » At the same time

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - While driving Dale Earnhardts legendary black No. 3 Chevrolet last season was the experience of a lifetime for Austin Dillon, nothing crazy happened in his rookie season.He wants that to change in 2015.We have to start getting crazier, Dillon said Thursday at NASCARs annual media tour event. We have to make things happen. We need to be in the Chase. We need to be a part of the chaos at the end of the year.Dillon had just one top-five and four top-10 finishes in his first season at the Sprint Cup level driving one of NASCARs most recognizable cars.That lack of production kept him out of the Chases new playoff-style format implemented in 2014.That is what this year is about — stepping out and going after it, more so than (last) year, Dillon said. I think people know how we approached last year — and we did it right — but now its time to make fire.The 24-year-old Dillon went about getting a jump start on his goal of making the Chase when he had a sit-down meeting with crew chief Gil Martin after last season.The goal was to create a blueprint for success.Ultimately, Dillon said they discussed his need to come to the track better prepared on race weekend.I know it takes more than what I gave it last year, Dillon said. The good thing is we had a decent year last year and when you know what those are, you should be able to take those and make them better.The second season in the same automobile seems to work for him.Dillon won the Camping World Truck Series championship in 2011, his second full season racing trucks. He moved up the then-Nationwide Series the following year and won the championship a year later in 2013.It would be a long-shot for him to do the same at the Sprint Cup level, given the inherent pressure and competition.Dillon admits that racing the Intimidators black No. 3 Chevy involved a lot of pressure that came with high expectations. But hes not about to back down.I want to put more pressure on myself, Dillon said.Dillon said one of the goals this year to be stronger — and more aggressive — on restarts.We have to push ourselves more and make things happen, Dillon said.Dillons talent is indisputable.Hes won Rookie of the Year awards at the K&N Series East, the Camping World Truck Series and Nationwide Series.But hes come to realize it will take more than just reputation to win at the Sprint Cup level.You cant rely on talent, because everyone at that level has talent, Dillon said. Some people can rely on talent and that is unbelievable. But it is going to take more for me to get prepared better and be ready when I get to the track to make it happen.The Chase is his goal, he said.Its amazing, Dillon said. I enjoyed it and I want to be a part it. Its really going to push us this year.

He doesnt like sleep or math.The 14-time Grand Slam winner advanced Friday to the fourth round of the Australian Open, beating Dudi Sela in straight sets. He expended much less time and energy than he had in his 5-set, third-round match that lasted over four hours.On-court interviewer Jim Courier asked Nadal if he had done anything special to recover between the two rounds.Sleep? Nadal replied, prompting Courier to ask if he normally doesnt sleep between matches.Seriously, I dont like to sleep a lot. I feel that when I am sleeping that I am losing time, Nadal said.Ahead of the tournament, the 28-year-old Spaniard insisted he was not match fit in the wake of a right wrist injury and appendix surgery that sidelined him for much of the last half of 2014.Courier tried to get Nadal to quantify how he feels, asking him on a scale of 0 to 100 per cent how does he feel physically? Courier, who won four Grand Slams before retiring, waited as Nadal gave a long response that didnt answer the questions. He pressed him again.I want a number, Courier said.The crowd laughed, and Nadal did, too.I was never very good at mathematics, Nadal said.By Jocelyn Gecker -- http://twitter.com/jgecker___LAUGH IT OFF: When youre getting trounced by Rafael Nadal and you cant even get a call to go your way, sometimes you just need to laugh at the situation.Dudi Sela was trailing 6-1, 4-0 in his third-round match against Nadal at Rod Laver Arena when he hit a beautiful running forehand passing shot that appeared to clip the line. Nadal challenged the call, however, and the video review showed it was out.Stunned, Sela smiled and held up his arms in disbelief. He then appealed to Nadals generosity and held up a finger as if to say, Cmon just give me one?Nadal smiled and the crowd began to laugh. The point, however, went to the Spaniard.For the crowd, they paid money and I dont want them to go after 45 minutes, so I tried to do something, Sela said. Tried a little bit to entertain.By Justin Bergman -- https://twitter.com/justinb3rg___POKER FACE: Some players cheer themseelves on after great shots or vent frustration at the bad ones.dddddddddddd. Not Maria Sharapova.The No. 2-ranked Sharapova keeps a poker face, which was on display Friday as she cruised to a 6-1, 6-1 win over Zarina Diyas in the third round. The match lasted a mere 61 minutes.Afterwards, on-court interviewer Rennae Stubbs, a retired Australian player, joked that she wanted Sharapova on her poker team.That would be a terrible decision, Rennae, because Im terrible at poker, Sharapova laughed.The only thing Ive ever played was blackjack. And Im terrible at that, too, she added.The five-time Grand Slam winner faces Chinas Peng Shuai on Sunday in the fourth round. The No. 21-ranked player from China plays with two hands on both forehand and backhand, yielding flat, deep shots.Shes a bit of an untraditional player with two hands on both sides. Thats a little tricky, Sharapova said. Yeah, I look forward to a good match-up.By Jocelyn Gecker -- http://twitter.com/jgecker___BATTLING THE GREEKS: Was it a third-round mens singles match at the Australian Open or a football match between Greece and Bulgaria?With the amount of noise coming from Court 3, where Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov played Greek-Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis, it was hard to tell.Baghdatis, the 2006 Australian Open finalist, has long drawn vocal support from Melbournes large Greek community over the years, and his fans were out in force Friday, chanting, serenading and clapping vigorously for him.Dimitrovs fans, clad in the green, white and red colours of Bulgarias flag, were drowned out at times, but their man didnt need as much help. No. 10-seeded Dimitrov rallied from a set down to beat an inspired Baghdatis 4-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-3.Marcos has always been a favourite guy out here, Dimitrov said. I like it when the atmosphere is like that. Actually fills me up with positive thoughts. At the same time, its nice to prove (the crowd) wrong.By Justin Bergman -- https://twitter.com/justinb3rg___Australian Open Scene follows tennis Grand Slam tournament in Melbourne as seen by journalists from The Associated Press.
