HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- With tears in eyes and three fingers in the air, Richard Childress hardly had words to describe his latest NASCAR championship. His grandson, Austin Dillon, won the Nationwide Series title in the famed No. 3 and by three points. "Hard to believe," Childress said. "I couldnt be more proud of Austin. He drives with his heart every lap. What can you say? Hes just a great competitor, a great grandson. Im proud, really proud of him. He ran good and hard tonight." Sprint Cup regular Brad Keselowski won the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Saturday, moving up 10 spots in the closing few laps to give an otherwise typical race a wild and wacky finish. But the night belonged to Dillon, who overcame a sluggish start and a scrape against the wall to finish 12th. It was good enough to hold off Sam Hornish Jr. by three points. Hornish crossed the line eighth. "It was ugly," said Dillon, who won the Truck Series title in 2011. "Probably the worst car we had all year. But we fought. My guys kept me positive in the car." Hornish looked as if he would overcome an eight-point deficit in the standings for much of the 200-lap race, but a lengthy caution late posed problems. NASCAR slowed the race for 12 laps -- tied for the longest caution of the year -- and it turned out to be a setback for Hornish. He dropped from third to ninth on the final restart with five laps to go, ending his chances at getting a title in what was his final race for Penske Racing. "I felt very sorry for Sam," Penske said. "And I have to say Ive never seen a race that was so important give away 15 or 16 laps before you have five laps to go. To me, that is very disappointing from the standpoint of the fans and (us) as competitors. When I think about it, it could have gone either way." NASCAR defended its decision to keep the race under caution. "When youre in situations like that, the most important thing is getting the track race ready," said Robin Pemberton, NASCARs vice-president of competition. "You know, you can look at, you can use your hindsight every chance that you want to, but in this particular time, we did the best we could to do, and it was more important to get the track ready." Keselowski got new tires during the final caution and used them to weave his way through traffic. He went from 11th to first in a two-lap span after the restart. And once he was out front, no one was catching him. Certainly not Dillon and Hornish, who were stuck on old tires because they had used their allotment. "I dont even remember what happened," Keselowski said. "We were going to win the race or I was going to bring back the steering wheel. With five laps to go, thats the only attitude that can win the race. Sometimes you make it through, sometimes you dont. Today we did. A lot of aggressive moves. "It almost felt like a video game passing 10 or 12 cars in two or three laps. Thats what youve got to be able to do to win at this level." Keselowski finished the season with seven victories, all in the last 10 of his 16 series starts. Rookie Kyle Larson finished second, followed Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth and Trevor Bayne. Hornish and Dillon had nothing for the leaders down the stretch. Having worn tires made passing difficult, if not impossible, in the final few laps. It didnt help Hornish that Kyle Busch spun his tires on the restart. "Couldnt get far enough ahead of those guys who had taken four tires," Hornish said. "Thats how it worked out for us tonight. We gave away points throughout the season, between the driver making mistakes, from everybody on this team making the car better. We win as a team, we lose as a team. Just needed a little bit more." Keselowskis victory wasnt the only thing to celebrate for Penske Racing. The team won the owners title for Roger Penske -- edging Joe Gibbs Racing by a point -- and landed Ford the manufacturers championship. Joey Logano finished sixth in the title-winning No. 22 car. "We had four goals coming in here: win the manufacturer championship for Ford, help Sam win the driver title, win the owners title and then win the race. We got three out of the four," Keselowski said. "Sam did a great job, even though he didnt get the fourth one done. He did an awesome job, and Im really proud of his effort." But the biggest celebration was saved for Dillon, whose fondest memory as a kid was seeing late NASCAR great Dale Earnhardt win the 1998 Daytona 500. Dillon knew all he had to do was stay close to Hornish. "I knew if I could see him and see where he was, then I wasnt going to give up all the way to end," Dillon said. "He was a great competitor. Sam, he brought his stuff tonight. We were able to pass one at the end, and it was a hell of a race." Radim Vrbata Coyotes Jersey . Blown save in the ninth inning? No problem.

Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - Carlos Santana finished 3-for-4 with a solo shot to back Josh Tomlins 6 2/3 solid innings in the Cleveland Indians 5-1 win over interleague region rival Pittsburgh. Tomlin (8-4) allowed just one run on six hits and no walks for the Indians, who recorded just their fourth win in 15 contests. Great job by Tomlin, 20 out of 25 first-pitch strikes, Indians manager Manny Acta said. Thats how hes able to get people out and go deep into the game with a very nice pitch count. Cleveland designated hitter Travis Hafner proved to be a spark in his return to the lineup from an oblique strain that put him on the DL since May 18. He had an RBI double and a walk in the win. Xavier Paul knocked in the lone run for the Pirates, who came into the game with a season-high tying four-game winning streak. They were also fresh off their first three-game sweep of the season in Houston. Pittsburgh starter Kevin Correia (8-6) took the loss, allowing two runs -- one earned -- on four hits and three walks. He threw a few more pitches than he would have like to have to have his pitch count up in the 90s without finishing six, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. He gave us a chance to win a ball game, which he has done time after time, more often than not. The Pirates have been on fire as of late and came into the matchup two games over .500. Meanwhile, the Indians had a hot start to the season and despite recent struggles were six games over .500 to mark the first time ever the two teams have faced each other with a winning record. But an odd sequence of events occurred in the third to break the scoring. Ronny Cedeno booted a Matt LaPorta line shot right into the hands of second baseman Neil Walker, who threw the ball wildly into the visitors dugout for a two-bbase error.dddddddddddd Orlando Cabrera then hit a grounder where LaPorta was caught in a rundown and rolled awkwardly over his right leg while shifting directions. He left the game in obvious pain and did not return. The inning continued when Jack Hannahan singled to put runners on the corners and Grady Sizemore drew a walk to load the bases. Correia got Michael Brantley to line out to third and it looked as if he was going to get out of inning unharmed. However, the pitcher flinched out of his set to balk in a run. Correia induced an Asdrubal Cabrera flyout to end the inning. Santanas two-out homer in the fourth put the Indians at a 2-0 advantage but the Pirates would cut it in half in the sixth on Pauls RBI single. The Indians poured it on in the eighth to create breathing room. Brantley and Asdrubal Cabrera started with consecutive singles before Hafner skied a double to the right fence where it bounced off the yellow line and into the field of play to bring home Brantley. The double was confirmed by review. Tim Wood then came in to replace Daniel Moskos and intentionally walked Shin- Soo Choo to load the bases with no outs. Santana ripped an RBI single, and after an Adam Everett strike out, Orlando Cabrera brought in a run on a sac fly to make up the final score. GAME NOTES:To open a roster spot for Hafner, the club optioned outfielder Travis Buck to its Triple-A affiliate in Columbus before the game...Correia fell to 7-2 on the road this season...The Indians improved to 4-0 in interleague play this season, while the Pirates fell to 2-2. The Pirates have taken two of three from the Indians in each of the past two seasons, with both series taking place in Pittsburgh. The Bucs havent visited Cleveland since losing two of three in 2006. cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
