By Mark Gregory Momentum is a big thing in any sport. There is no one who has more momentum in NASCAR than Matt Kenseth and the No. 20 Toyota of Joe Gibbs Racing. Kenseth, last season’s winner at Chicagoland Speedway, won the final race of the regular season at Richmond heading into the Chase for the Sprint Cup which begins Sunday in the MyAFibRisk.com 400 in Joliet.

Busch in Chase contention despite broken leg By Mark Gregory sports reporter
mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard
At the beginning of the season, it appeared as if NASCAR would not have one of its most polarizing and talented drivers in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. That was because Kyle Busch suffered a broken right leg and broken left foot in a crash during the Xfinity race the Saturday before the season-opening Daytona 500. Busch would miss 11 races and per NASCAR rules for the Chase, would need to be in the top 30 in points with at least one win to secure a spot in the Chase. Officially, Bush placed 25th in the overall points standings. He clinched a spot in the Chase by guaranteeing himself a top30 spot in the points standings with a seventh-place finish at the Southern 500 at Darlington two weeks ago and with four wins under his belt, he is tied for the most of any driver with Jimmie Johnson and Matt Kenseth. Busch is the second seed in the restructured Chase points system. “It certainly was a rollercoaster season, probably more for my
team and guys and everybody that started the season in Daytona, switching seats out, having other drivers in my car,” Busch said. “Can’t say enough about the team and the effort (crew chief) Adam Stevens, everyone that continued to focus and work hard, wait for the star quarterback to come back. Once I did come back, they were all ready, ready to perform. Felt like we did a really good job of that. Maybe the first month was a little rough. After that, once we got through Sonoma, it was on. We had a really good stretch and still continue to run strong each week. (I am) real proud of everybody on this Toyota Camry. It Makes our job easier week in and week out to have fast race cars. Now it’s to focus and put your head down to the dirt and make sure that you get all you can get when you go through these next 10.” Busch finished second to Matt Kenseth in the final race of the season at Richmond, giving him nine top 10 finishes, six in the top five, in only 15 races this season. “It was an unbelievable beginning and a pretty believable middle part of the season and how we ran.

Kyle Busch has four wins on the year even after missing several races due to a broken leg. That’s just how we’re supposed to be and how this 18 M&M’s Camry is supposed to be every week. Again tonight Joe Gibbs Racing had a really good showing,” Busch said. “(I am) just proud of Adam Stevens and all my guys. They never gave up. They fought hard, they worked really good together and a first
year team so I’m really proud of all of that. It’s come together real well and it’s just a matter now of being able to put our heads down and get the job done. We definitely have equipment capable of doing it. It might be a race between all four (Joe) Gibbs (Racing) cars come Homestead but I’m sure Joe
(Gibbs) will love that.” All four JGR teams made the Chase, with Kenseth seeded third behind Busch, Carl Edwards is eighth and Denny Hamlin is 11th. With Bush having fought so hard to get back in the Chase, he knows

Nascar Notebook: Fan events and more By Mark Gregory sports reporter
mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard
For the race fans, there are two special events going on Thursday, Sept. 17, the day before the racing begins. Both events are free to the public. In Joliet, the annual Race Fan Rally will be held from 4-10 pm in downtown Joliet and feature live music entertainment, vendors, beer tents, NASCAR driver appearances, a 50/50 raffle, race, show and classic cars on display and is concluded with a firework display. Headlining the entertainment will be Hairbanger’s Ball. Fans can also have their photo taken with the NASCAR SPRINT CUP in the rotunda of the Rialto Square Theatre. For those wanting a shot to see the 16 Sprint Cup drivers that qualified for the Chase, there is the NASCAR Chase Fest sponsored by Toyota. The fest will feature all 16 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series challengers
and have live concerts by country cover band the Suburban Cowboys and Grammy-nominated band, 3 Doors Down. Chase Fest will also take place Sept. 17 from 2-9 p.m. on Weed Street between Fremont and Kingsbury streets. NASCAR Chase Fest will feature appearances and autograph sessions from all 16 drivers competing in the Challenger Round, as well as a number of recognizable NASCAR personalities. Fans in attendance will be treated to food from renowned Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, beverages from Coors Light (with proper ID), attractions such as the Toyota Ferris Wheel and NASCAR on NBC Sports Bumper Cars, activations from event sponsor Sprint including an appearance by Miss Sprint Cup “The days leading into the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup have become a signature moment in our sport,” said Steve Phelps, NASCAR Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. “With the support of Toyota, Sprint
and Chicagoland Speedway, we expect to deliver an engaging fan experience that builds anticipation for the most competitive stretch of our season.” Also, NBC Sports Network personalities Krista Voda, Kyle Petty, Marty Snider and Rutledge Wood will interview all 16 Challengers for the network’s live broadcast of NASCAR America. “NASCAR fans in Chicago and around the world have come to expect big things from the kickoff of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup in Chicago and this year is no exception,” said Scott Paddock, President of Chicagoland Speedway. “NASCAR Chase Fest is a dynamic event that segues nicely into the weekend where the celebration will continue at Chicagoland Speedway.”
GONE COUNTRY As a part of the prerace celebration, Paris, Illinois native Brett Eldredge will perform a concert Sunday, Sept. 20. The CMA New Artist of the Year
released his new single “Lose My Mind” earlier this summer. His debut album, Bring You Back, yielded the No. 1 hits “Don’t Ya,” “Beat of the Music,” and “Mean to Me.” The 29-year-old Eldredge was a student at Elmhurst College before moving to Nashville to chase his dreams. “Over the past several years we’ve had an opportunity to host some of the premier performers within the country music industry, and we’re looking forward to Brett Eldredge continuing that tradition,” said Scott Paddock, president of Chicagoland Speedway. “Including an artist of Brett’s caliber as part of our weekend festivities is an exciting addition for our track, NASCAR and particularly our fans, and the fact that he’s from our own backyard makes it even more special as we kick off the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.”
ICONS LEAD THE WAY Chicagoland
Speedway
announced 39-time Grand Slam tennis champion, Billie Jean King, and 14-time basketball All-Star, Jerry West, will serve as Grand Marshals for the MyAFibRisk.com. As part of AFib Awareness Month this September, Janssen, the official cardiovascular partner of NASCAR®, has teamed up with these two sports icons—Billie Jean King and Jerry West—to talk about a heart condition they share in common with millions of Americans. Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is an irregular heartbeat that puts them at a one in three chance of having a stroke. Since diagnosis, West and King have been working with their doctors to start and stay on a treatment plan to help prevent a stroke due to AFib. Now they have teamed up to encourage people with AFib to understand their risk for stroke, which can change over time. Everyone living with AFib can quickly and easily calculate their personal stroke risk at www. MyAFibRisk.com.

District 99 Superintendent Mark McDonald will retire at the end of
the 2015-16 school year, and the board of education is looking for input from the community. Earlier this month, the board hosted a forum for members of the community to provide feedback on the search for a new superintendent of school and share what qualities they would like to see in the new hire. In addition to the Sept. 1 meeting, residents could also fill out an
online survey. “It’s an exciting time for all of us at District 99, as we thoughtfully search for our next leader,” Board of Education President Nancy Kupka said in a release. “Our high schools are two of the best in the nation, and we are committed to finding someone who will deliver excellent educational programming and be focused on student success.” In July, District 99 hired outside search firm School Exec Connect to conduct a nationwide search for McDonald’s predecessor.

Day of Service benefits elementary school Event provides Kingsley School with outdoor classroom, improved aesthetics More than 40 volunteers from Newell Rubbermaid and HandsOn Suburban Chicago visited Kingsley School the morning of Sept. 2 for Newell Rubbermaid’s annual Global Day of Service. The volunteers dedicated their day to making significant aesthetic improvements to the District 58 elementary school, including constructing an outdoor classroom, painting maps and other visuals on
the blacktop, and landscaping the grounds. “The entire Kingsley community is overjoyed by the generosity of Newell Rubbermaid and HandsOn Suburban Chicago,” Kingsley Principal Mark Stange said in a release. The event kicked off with a 9 a.m. opening ceremony led by Stange, District 58 Superintendent Kari Cremascoli, Kingsley PTA President Gail Scherquist, PTA Playground Committee member Kim Breier and HandsOn Suburban Chicago event leader Mhari Goldstein. “We wanted Kingsley’s outside to reflect what Kingsley feels and looks like on the inside,” Breier said. “Mr. Stange is doing a remarkable job inside the walls of Kingsley, and now we’re jumping in on the outside.

Brier added that the volunteers’ seven hours of work would have taken the PTA a minimum of a year to accomplish.

County sees first human case of West Nile in 2015 Health department says cool temps won’t eliminate WNV activity completely The DuPage County Health Department announced Thursday that officials have confirmed the county’s first human case of West Nile virus in 2015. A woman from Carol Stream in her 50s contracted the virus, which is transmitted to people by infected mosquitoes. She experienced brief illness but was not hospitalized, and her symptoms have resolved. Despite the cool and rainy weather in the forecast, health
department officials said residents should continue to protect themselves against mosquito bites to prevent contracting WNV. The health department said the best way to prevent WNV is to avoid mosquito bites by using insect repellent when outdoors; avoiding the outdoors at times when mosquitoes that transmit WNV are most active, such as dusk to dawn;

ReDWiNGS FALL TO DONS Benet suffers first setback of season
BY MARk GREGORY SpoRTS RepoRTeR
mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard
There is only one Tim Simon on the Notre Dame football team, but for Benet it looked as if he had clones as No. 10 was all over the field Friday night in the Dons’ 29-14 East Suburban Catholic Conference win. Simon accounted for 18 of Notre Dame’s points in the game, as he caught a touchdown pass, kicked three field goals on the night from 39, 20 and 23-yards and recorded a pair of extra points. As a cornerback, Simon was also in on several tackles and coverages for the Dons’ defense. After a pair of early turnovers, Benet opened the scoring when quarterback Jack Sznajder hit Karl Schmidt from 14 yards out. However, 48 seconds later, Tsagalis and Simon connected on a 65-yard pitch and catch to tie the score. Notre Dame would go into the break ahead 17-7 after a 2-yard TD run by Jimmy Topping with 5 minutes, 20 seconds left in the second quarter and a Simon field goal.
“We could never really get it going there,” said Benet coach Pat New. “The offense cost the defense and then vice versa. We never really got into a rhythm tonight. “It was a frustrating game in that respect. We just sputtered when we needed some first downs. Especially in the second quarter, that was critical for us. We got stuck in our own end and couldn’t get out. We felt like we had a lot tonight, we just didn’t get it going and didn’t execute.” A 20-yard field goal from Simon on the Dons’ (3-0, 1-0 ESCC) opening drive of the second half gave Notre Dame the 20-17 lead. Benet did not go away. The Redwings as Sznajder connected with receivers Robert Bordignon and Will O’Grady to move the ball down the field. The Redwings (2-1, 0-1) then answered the Benet score with a 9-yard TD scamper from Marty Dosen to pull within 20-14 with 10:48 left in the game. However, just as they did earlier, the Dons bounced back with a score of their own as Topping took

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports
Downers South girls cross country traveled to Fenton to
compete in the Fenton ‘Earlybird’ Invite Sept. 4. The varsity team finished second out of 23 teams. Glenbrook South won the meet with 96 points, followed closely by DGS with 99 points and Vernon
Hills with 108. Cross-town rival Downers North finished 5th with 146 pts. Katie Stapleton and Michaela Hackbarth led the team with top-10 finishes in the threemile race. Stapleton was sixth in 18:39 while Michaela finished ninth in 18:58. The varsity scoring five was rounded out with Emily Qualizza in 20th (19:30), Liz Alcantara in 21st (19:32) and Kara Petersen in 43rd (20:08). •On Saturday, the Mustangs traveled to Detweiller Park in Peoria to compete in the ‘First to the Finish’ Invite that featured 14 of the top ranked teams in the state, including 8 out of the top 10. Defending 2A state champions, Yorkville won the meet, while the DGS varsity team placed 12thout of 37 teams. Stapleton, Becky Versaskas and Jill Boyle led the Mustangs. Among the field of 326 runners, Stapleton was 32nd with a time of 18:01, Versakas was 43rd in 18:14 and Boyle was 62nd in 18:38 on the 3-mile course. The varsity scoring five was rounded out with Alcantara in 111th running 19:06 and Qualizza in 117th running 19:09. •Westmont girls finished seventh in a field of 13 teams at the Plainfield Central Cross Country Invitational. The Sentinels were led by sophomores Halle Nash and Lisa Niemiec in 22nd and 25th places, respectively (22:11 and 22:13). Strong performances were also turned in by Lilt Arndt (42nd, 23:40), Brittany Eiermann (47th, 23:53) and Hannah Abbatacola
(52nd, 24:02). Westmont defeated IC Prep 1550 but fell to Nazareth 32-24. The Sentinels were led by Niemiec and Nash in third and fifth places at 21:38 and 22:00, respectively. Strong performances were also turned in by Eiermann (7th, 23:06), Arndt (8th, 23:15), Frankie Fabry (9th, 23:39) and Hannah Abbatacola (10th, 23:43). “Freshman Frankie Fabry had a great race today,” Westmont coach Steve Wolf said. “She stayed with Hannah the whole way and they caught some girls in the last mile to finish in the top ten.” Westmont finished 8th in a field of 39 teams at the Peoria Woodruff “First to the Finish” Invitational. The Sentinels had three individual medalists with Nash finishing 21st (19:50), Niemiec 47th (20:35) and Nash 49th (20:38). Arndt finished 74th (21:19) and Eiermann 106th (21:55). “This was a great test for our girls today,” Wolf said. “Finishing in the top ten at this meet will give them the confidence to pursue a top ten finish at state come November.” •In boys cross country Westmont finished 13th in a field of 14 teams at Plainfield Central. The Sentinels were led by sophomore Jasper Requiron in 34th place with a time of 18:09. Paul Gordon (51st, 19:01), Sam Asa (66th, 19:36), Ryan Pleva (82nd, 20:37) and Jacob Nader (92nd, 24:14) also scored. The Sentinel’s Jasper Requiron and Paul Gordon ran away from
the field finishing 1-2 in 18:17 and 18:28, respectively, but it wasn’t enough as Westmont lost to Nazareth 34-25 and IC Prep 33-25. “Our inexperience and lack of depth really hurt us today,” Wolf said. “We had three guys out and our freshmen Connor Alessi and Brandon Abington ran great, dropped a lot of time, but just couldn’t make up the difference.” Requiron and Gordon ran well, finishing together in 66th and 67th place with times of 17:14 and 17:15 in Peoria. Asa finished in 135th in 18:10 as the Sentinels finished in 27th place overall.

Wedn esday, Septem ber 16, 2015 | bug lenewspapers.com nascar | from page 1A The win was Kenseth’s fourth of the season and third in the last six races. “It was great to get the win. Richmond, when I came to JGR, was one of their best tracks. In the last couple years, it’s been one of our worst as a group. You want to win every week. I’ll tell you, if you could do this every week, you would,” Kenseth said after the win. “So it’s not like you can do anything extra or anything necessarily better. I will say it feels really good. It’s good for all of our confidence, probably especially mine.” Not only did Kenseth finish with momentum, the entire Gibbs team did, as teammate Kyle Busch finished second, Denny Hamlin sixth and Carl Edwards 11th.
Hamlin will race the rest of the season with a torn right anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. He tore the ACL the Tuesday before Richmond in a pick-up basketball game. “I feel like as a company right now, all four cars are really strong,” Kenseth said. “I felt like we were really strong in the Chase in 2013. We ended up getting beat, but we were pretty strong, won a couple races, led a lot of laps. Jimmie beat us. We were really good. I feel like as a company right now, we’re stronger than we were in ‘13. We had a lot of different things happen, where all four of us now have been able to win races and we’re all in the Chase. I feel like all four teams are really competitive. I think we were one through four at one point tonight. I feel like
as a company, we’re stronger this year.” All four made the Chase and will be competing for the title, the second for JGR since NASCAR went to the Chase format and the first while driving Toyota. Kenseth is currently tied atop the Chase standings with six-time champion Jimmie Johnson and Busch. Although they are tied as the points reset, Johnson is technically the No. 1 seed, followed by Bush and Kenseth. All three have 2012 points. Points for all 16 Chase drivers are reset to 2000 with three bonus points being awarded for each win during the regular season. There are 10 races in the Chase with the four drivers with the lowest point totals being eliminated after three
races, four more after the sixth and four more after the ninth. The four drivers left standing at Homestead race for a winnertake-all race, with the driver finishing the highest of the four being awarded the Sprint Cup Championship. Last season’s winner Kevin Harvick is fifth and is ready to defend his title. “I feel like as a team we have been there, done that,” he said. “We’ve been in Phoenix and Homestead pressure situations and succeeded in both of those situations. I think when you look at the group there’s not a lot of them that have done that, and you’ve just got to keep pressure on them, and I think as you go into Chicago, you just know that you’re not going to make any friends and

you don’t have to worry about it. You have to worry about what you have to do to advance to get to the next round every three weeks, and whatever the scorecard looks like or whatever you have to do is what you have to do. It’s not about making more friends. “It’s a whole different mindset as you go into Chicago, and it’s kind of take no prisoners. I don’t like you and I know they don’t like me, so you race like that on every lap, and we’re going to go after it.” Dale Earnhardt, Jr. is sixth in the standings, while Kurt Busch, Edwards, Brad Keslowski and Martin Truex, Jr. round out the top 10. Jeff Gordon made the Chase in his final season as a driver, as he announced in January that he will retire after this season.

Dosen led Benet with 20 carries for 68 yards, while Schmidt grabbed three passes for 65 yards from Sznajder, who is confident Benet will get things going. “The offensive line played well tonight and if they do that, we will be fine,” he said. “We have to clean up some route running and I rushed some passes. We have a lot of talent and we will get it rolling. It’s a tough loss, but it’s the first conference game. “We had rhythm early and lost
it and we know when we have it, we can move the ball, we just can’t let that get us down. We need to have that confidence every game especially in this conference. We know we can move the ball and we rely on our defense a lot because we have a solid core back there.” Benet will travel to St. Patrick Saturday for an 11 a.m. kickoff trying to right the ESCC ship. “In this conference, everyone is a tough opponent and to get five wins and get in the playoffs is awfully tough when every opponent is tough,” New said.

Last year I’d say that our cars and stuff – our equipment we were just struggling. We were
just off and we were just kind of missing something and with the realignment of the crew chiefs and bringing on Carl (Edwards) this year and having that opportunity to have four cars I think just elevated our program and gave us everything that we needed in order to have a strong showing and we’ve proven that the last two, three months. “I think this year’s Chase is going to be a bit better than what last year’s Chase was. I think it’s going to be for an entertaining Chase.”
Westmont resident Dawn King read a touching portrayal of the day’s events, as they occurred at St. Vincent Hospital in New York. The hospital was the nearest medical facility to the World Trade Center, and King’s brother, Lambert King, was the medical director of St. Vincent at the time. King recounted the day’s events at the medical facility, which also served as a base for media, politicians and dignitaries, and the
families of those lost, injured and missing during that day and the days that followed. King also presented Mayor Gunter with a U.S. flag that had flown over New York’s City Hall and in turn, Gunter thanked King for her hours of volunteer service for Westmont’s first responders. “They are the greatest,” replied King. The ceremony concluded with a bell ringing to remember those that had fallen.

Illinois American Water conducts annual flushing in Woodridge Illinois American Water said it began flushing water mains and hydrants in the Santa Fe Service Area Sept. 8 and is scheduled to continue flushing until the end of September. According to Illinois American Water, the annual flushing of the water distribution system helps ensure high-quality water service. Flushing the water system entails sending a rapid flow of water through the water mains. As part of the flushing program, fire hydrants are checked and operated to help ensure fire protection in the community. “Flushing of the water distribution system is performed every year primarily to remove sediment in pipes. An annual flushing program helps to keep fresh and clear water throughout the distribution system,” said Michael Smyth, senior manager of field services and production for the Chicago Metro District. Illinois American Water said signs will be placed in neighborhoods where flushing is occurring so residents are aware of the system work. While the flushing program is underway, customers may experience a slight drop in water pressure or temporary water discoloration. Customers should refrain from doing laundry during the time of day the flushing program is taking place in or near their neighborhood. If tap water is discolored, it is recommended that several coldwater faucets are allowed to run for a short time until the water runs clear. Using more than one faucet allows the water to clear faster. For more information, visit www. illinoisamwater.com or call IAW’s customer service center at 1-800422-2782.

So essentially, it’s talking with my hometown family.” The author of seven mystery novels, Ryan has won multiple prestigious awards for her crime fiction: five Agatha awards, an Anthony, Daphne, Macavity, and the coveted Mary Higgins Clark Award.

Gordon to compete in Chase for final time By Mark Gregory sports reporter
mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard
While the 16 top drivers in NASCAR will begin their quest for the 2015 Sprint Cup, one driver will begin the final stretch of his legendary career. On Jan. 22, Jeff Gordon announced that this would be his final season the No. 24 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. Gordon has driven the No. 24 his whole career, beginning in November 1992. Gordon, however, will still be competing for his fifth championship as he qualified 13th for the Chase. “It’s nice to be in the Chase and take that relief and take that breath and now go reset and see what we can do over the next 10,” he said after his 13th place finish at Richmond. “There was a lot of pressure in this final season to make that Chase, so I’m glad we got that done.” Gordon is a four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, winning in 1995, ‘97, ’98 and 2001. He is third
all time with 92 career Cup victories. All four were in pre-Chase formats. Gordon holds the NASCAR record with nine road course victories and has won a NASCAR-record 12 restrictor plate races. Throughout his career, he has won at every track on the Sprint Cup circuit with the exception of Kentucky Speedway. Gordon’s lone win at Chicagoland Speedway came in July, 2006. Next season, Gordon will be replaced in the No. 24 Chevrolet by 2014 Xfinity Cup champion Chase Elliot. Elliot, son of NASCAR Hall of Famer Bill Elliot, won the Xfinity summer race at Chicagoland Speedway last season. Chicagoland Speedway will be doing different things all weekend to honor Gordon, including painting a No. 24 in the infield grass, as well as having a banner for fans to write notes, which will be presented to Gordon at the end of the weekend.
RACE FOR A RIDE While the race in Joliet opens the final stretch in Gordon’s career,
it marks a different stretch for drivers Clint Bowyer and David Ragan. “It’s a tough time for everybody involved and it is unfortunate,” Bowyer said after the announcement. “This is a business decision to move forward. I need to start actively pursuing my career and that is what I am doing.” While he is racing for a seat in a car next season, Bowyer is also racing for a title as he earned a spot in the Chase with a top 15 finish at Richmond. “To go through the year we’ve had, I mean, a lot of ups and downs here, a lot of downs, and then through the summer months we shook things up and really catapulted the organization to get going and getting our self back in the swing of things in this championship hunt and the Chase talk,” Bowyer said after his 14th place finish. “We did this, now we’re in the Chase, pressure is off, go cat go. Let’s go out and have some fun.”
