CHARLOTTE, N. Manny Ramirez Jersey .C. -- NASCAR unveiled a revamped penalty system Tuesday that for the first time will define specific offences with pre-determined penalties. The new "Deterrence System" classifies six different levels of penalties, with fines and point deductions increasing as the infractions become more severe. The new system will be applied only to technical infractions; NASCAR will still handle behaviouraloffences individually. The structure also allows the sanctioning body to hit repeat offenders with a multiplier that could increase penalties by 50 per cent. NASCARs previous penalty system did not tie pre-determined sanctions to specific offences. "Our goal is to be more effective, fair and transparent," said Steve ODonnell, senior vice-president of racing operations. "Its never our intent to penalize, but in order to keep the playing field fair for everyone, we recognize that strong rules need to be in place." NASCAR has also removed chief appellate officer John Middlebrook. The retired General Motors executive has been replaced by Bryan Moss, president emeritus of Gulfstream Aerospace. Middlebrook had overturned or modified some key NASCAR decisions, including a penalty to Hendrick Motorsports in 2012 and Penske Racing last year. "I wanted to clearly state that Bryans appointment is not a result of recent appeals outcomes or because of the changes to the Chase," ODonnell said. "John did a great job for us, but Bryan will take over as the final appeals officer." NASCAR also has removed track promoters from its appeals panel in order to keep them from having to rule on a team while also needing that teams members to help promote races. "We have probably put some people in some tough spots in the past," ODonnell said. "You wont see national series promoters as part of that panel and youll see more industry experts participate in that role in the future." Another change to the penalty system is in the appeals process: Penalized teams will be allowed to see NASCARs presentation during the first appeal. Previously, each side presented its case without the other side in the room. Parties will now submit summaries of issues in advance of the hearing and it will be NASCARs burden to prove that a penalty violation occurred. During second and final appeals, the burden will shift to the team to prove the panel decision was incorrect. The biggest changes are to the penalty system, which is now broken into six classes. Minor technical infractions in the P1 class could lead to lost track time and other relatively light punishments; violations affecting the internal workings and performance of the engine in P6, on the other hand, could lead to the loss of 150 points, a fine of at least $150,000 and suspensions. If P5 and P6 infractions are found in post-race inspection, wins would not be eligible to be used to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship or to advance through the Chase rounds. And if the same car repeats an offence in the same category during the season, the penalty increases 50 per cent above the normal standard. "We believe the new system is easily understood and specifically lays out exactly what disciplinary action will be taken depending upon the type of technical infraction," said vice-president of competition Robin Pemberton. "More importantly, we believe we have strengthened our system to ensure even more competitive racing." Satchel Paige Jersey . The former world No. 1 Djokovic, who is the top seed here despite being ranked No. 2, snuck past 35-year-old Czech showman Radek Stepanek in four high- quality sets, 6-4, 6-3, 6-7 (5-7), 7-6 (7-5), on Centre Court. Djokovic appeared relieved when he converted on his first match point by swatting a cross-court forehand winner that just caught the line to end an affair that featured only two service breaks.

The game got off to a less-than-ideal start for the Jets as Oliver Ekman-Larsson found a wide open net from the slot and opened the scoring for the Coyotes a lead in the first period, but Olli Jokinen answered back just over half a minute later. http://www.indianssale.com/indians-omar-vizquel-jersey/ .

TORONTO -- Theres a bit of good news for injury-plagued Toronto FC as they head to Dallas to face the MLS Western Conference leaders. Midfielder Jonathan Osorio, who has missed the past three games due to a hamstring injury, will travel with the tam Friday and play in Dallas on Saturday. You can listen to all the action on TSN Radio 1050 beginning at 8:30pm et. And midfield general Michael Bradley is close to returning from groin and quadriceps strains, which kept him out of last Saturdays 1-0 home loss to the Colorado Rapids. "Any team, and Im talking worldwide, would miss Michael Bradley," said defender Bradley Orr. "Hes a top, top player so hes going to be a miss not just as a player, but as a leader and in the dressing room as well. Hopefully we might have him back this weekend. "Michael is a welcome addition on Saturday, if fit." Toronto head coach Ryan Nelsen said the club was "guarding him a little bit" as Bradley participated in light training on Thursday. The American midfielder is expected to participate in training again Friday in Toronto and be evaluated by team trainers to determine whether he is fit enough to travel to Dallas. "Well see how he feels tomorrow. Twenty-four hours is a long time with these kinds of injuries," said Nelsen following a chilly outdoor practice as the teams training facility. "If theres no negative feedback from what hes done today then hopefully Ill be close to making that decision." The news isnt as good for Jermain Defoe, who has missed Torontos previous two games with a hamstring injury. Defoe will not be available against Dallas, though Nelsen says the striker, who leads the team with three goals, should return to Toroontos lineup when the Reds play host to the New England Revolution on May 3 following a bye week. Jim Thome Jersey. Toronto will also be without defender Doneil Henry (knee), midfielder Alvaro Rey (hamstring) and forward Dwayne De Rosario (leg) against Dallas. "Theres been quite a lot going on with injuries and suspensions so forth. Weve got good strength and a veteran squad that has complimented us really well," Orr said. " It is a little bit frustrating, but thats what happens in this sport and in this game." Toronto (3-2-0) heads to Dallas (4-1-1) looking to avoid losing two in a row for the first time this season. FC Dallas is a top the table in the West, but fell 3-2 to the Seattle Sounders at home last Saturday. The two clubs played to a 2-2 draw in April 2013 at BMO Field in their last meeting. Toronto is 1-6-5 all time against Dallas. "Itll be arguably one of our toughest challenges so far this season," said Nelsen. "Its a real good challenge for us to see where were at. They have a lot of speed out wide, and experience in that central midfield." Added Orr, "Going to Dallas, its going to be a difficult game. Theyre a very good side. Watched a lot of video, the pitch looks fantastic, one that will probably suit us. We proved against Columbus that we can come again strong after a defeat. "Thats what we aim to do Saturday, show a little bit of mental strength and bounce back with a big victory." Nelsen also confirmed on Thursday that he anticipates being without Defoe (England), Bradley (United States) and keeper Julio Cesar (Brazil) following the teams May 17 road game against the New York Red Bulls due to World Cup commitments. 17:20ET 17-04-14 Cheap Buffalo Sabres Gear Wholesale Calgary Flames Jerseys Cheap Adidas Colorado Avalanche Jerseys Montreal Canadiens Outlet Store Wholesale New Jersey Devils Jerseys Adidas Arizona Coyotes Jerseys Cheap Adidas Boston Bruins Jerseys Cheap Adidas Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys Chicago Blackhawks Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Columbus Blue Jackets Jerseys Dallas Stars Shop Free Shipping Cheap Adidas Detroit Red Wings Jerseys Anaheim Ducks Jerseys China Wholesale Edmonton Oilers Jerseys Florida Panthers Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Los Angeles Kings Jerseys Minnesota Wild Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Nashville Predators Jerseys Cheap Adidas New York Islanders Jerseys New York Rangers Winter Classic Jerseys Cheap Adidas Ottawa Senators Jerseys Cheap Adidas Philadelphia Flyers Jerseys Wholesale Pittsburgh Penguins Jerseys Cheap Adidas San Jose Sharks Jerseys St. Louis Blues Winter Classic Jerseys Wholesale Tampa Bay Lightning Jerseys Toronto Maple Leafs Outlet Store Vancouver Canucks Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Vegas Golden Knights Jerseys Cheap Adidas Washington Capitals Jerseys Cheap Adidas Winnipeg Jets Jerseys ' ' '
