WETASKIWIN, Alberta – Andrew Ranger has plenty of mastery on road-courses. The two-time champion of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 proved once again he can figure it out on an oval, too. He showed that Friday night as he picked up the win in the Alberta Has Energy 300 in the inaugural event at Edmonton International Raceway. Ranger tied the series all-time record with his 19th career win, and won back-to-back races for the first time since August 2009 following his victory on the road course at Circuit ICAR in Quebec last week. It was also his first oval win since 2009, and fourth overall. "At the beginning of the day we didnt have a really good car, so we improved lap after lap," Ranger said "During the race my car was really fantastic." The race was stretched to 316 laps around the quarter-mile bullring following a late caution that involved early race leader Alex Tagliani, and required Ranger, who took the lead on Lap 269, to hold off LP Dumoulin and Jason Hathaway on the final restart. "The pass with Alex [Tagliani] was a little bit tough because it was almost one [racing] line here," Ranger said. "He did a little mistake and I was able to take him in [Turn] 3." Dumoulin and Hathaway waged a battle throughout the last two laps of the race for second and Dumoulin came out ahead, followed by Hathaway, J.R. Fitzpatrick and D.J. Kennington. Joey McColm, Larry Jackson, Scott Steckly, rookie Stefan Rzadzinski and Noel Dowler completed the top 10. Fitzpatrick, Kennington and Steckly were all two laps down at different points during the race and rallied back for top-10 finishes. Tagliani, who won the pole position for the race earlier in the day, finished 13th. He led a career-high 268 laps. Fitzpatrick and Dumoulin are now tied for the season points lead after four races at 162 apiece while Rangers back-to-back wins have bumped him up to third, 12 tallies behind the co-leaders. Dumoulin has finished top-five in all four races this year, two more than any other driver. "Thats our first podium on an oval, and the guys have been working really hard," Dumoulin said after finishing second. "We were within sight for the last run. I knew being in second was not a good spot for the restart at the end, obviously we had to fight for that spot, but we kept our head up and made it happen." Ranger now shares the Canadian Tire Series career wins record with Kennington. That accomplishment came one week after he tied Fitzpatrick for the series all-time poles mark at 14. The race was slowed by 11 cautions for 94 laps, including two red flags.

Gary Harris Jersey . -- Top-ranked Stacy Lewis birdied the last three holes and five of the final six Thursday for an 8-under 64 and a share of the lead with Mi Jung Hur in the Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic.(SportsNetwork.com) - The Washington Wizards got back into the win column on Christmas, now theyll try and make it two in a row Saturday night when the Boston Celtics visit the Verizon Center. The Wizards snapped a two-game slide on Christmas afternoon with a 102-91 win at Madison Square Garden over the New York Knicks. John Wall supplied 24 points and 11 assists in leading the Wizards to victory. Wall made a dazzling move late in the third quarter, hitting a reverse spinning layup, and then was involved in fourth-quarter scuffle. He took exception to a hard foul from Quincy Acy, retaliating with a shove. The New York forward swung his right arm as if to throw a punch before holding up. Acy received a Flagrant-2 foul and was ejected with 5:31 remaining. Wall received a technical foul. Acy was suspended for a game and Wall was fined $15,000 for the decidedly non-merry actions of Christmas. Bradley Beal had 17 points and Kris Humphries scored 14 off the bench on 7- of-9 shooting for the Wizards, who earned their first Christmas victory since 2008. We go as John goes aand Bradley goes, said Wizards forward Paul Pierce.ddddddddddddWe follow their lead on the court. Marcin Gortat finished with 10 points and nine rebounds for the Wizards. Washington heads out on a five-game road trip, starting Monday with visits to Houston, Dallas, Oklahoma City, San Antonio and New Orleans. The Celtics have lost three in a row following a three-game win streak and dropped a 109-107 decision versus the Brooklyn Nets Friday night. Nets guard Jarrett Jack buried a late jumper to sink the Celtics in Beantown and finished with 27 points. Jeff Green had 22 points and five assists, Jared Sullinger contributed 19 points and eight boards and Avery Bradley netted 17 points for the Celtics, who fell to 3-6 in the last nine games. They made some critical shots, Boston head coach Brad Stevens said. It changed very quickly. Boston is 3-8 on the road and has dropped back-to-back away games. The Celtics and Wizards have split two meetings this season with the home team holding serve. The Celtics are 4-2 in their last six in our nations capital. ' ' '
