MARTINSVILLE, Va. -- Johnny Sauter earned a spot in the Truck Series championship race with a victory Saturday at Martinsville Speedway.The win was the second of the season for Sauter and 12th of his career. He held off Chase Elliott in the closing laps to preserve the win in the Truck Series inaugural Chase.I feel like we are peaking at the right time, said Sauter. I feel like weve kind of saved some of our best bullets, so to speak, for the end, and we can go and really work hard on our Homestead piece for these next couple weeks.But Im a racer -- I think we all are -- and were not just going to hang out these next two weeks. We want to win races, but were in a luxurious spot, I guess youd call it. I want to win a championship. Ive been doing this a long time, and have won races, but a championship is something thats eluded me.Elliott, making his first Truck Series start of the season, was racing only to gain track experience for the Sprint Cup Series race on Sunday. He led a race-high 109 laps.Coming back to the checkered (flag) was probably my best opportunity to get him, but you have to be careful. Those guys are racing for a championship, Elliott said. Some days its not worth wrecking a guy or whatever.I wish we could have got him, but I feel like I learned a lot to help me in Sundays race.Four of the six Chase drivers finished in the top 10. John Hunter Nemecheck, Christopher Bell and Timothy Peters rounded out the top five, while Daniel Suarez was sixth, followed by Cole Custer and William Byron.Daniel Hemric and Austin Hill rounded out the top 10.Sauter now has three career victories at Martinsville in the Truck Series.Chase driver Matt Crafton had issues with about 50 laps remaining when he developed brake problems. It led to a 17th-place finish and hes now fifth in the Chase standings.I smelled it at one point and kept feeling something going on with the brake pedal and finally it went away, Crafton said.Ben Rhodes and Ben Kennedy made contact late in the race and Kennedy wound up 18th. Hes sixth in the Chase standings, and he confronted Rhodes in the garage after the race.

Vettel, who has already clinched his fourth straight F1 title, enters the finale with a chance to equal Michael Schumachers 13 victories in a year and match the record of nine consecutive wins by Alberto Ascari in the 1952 and 1953 seasons.Daley Blind and Juan Mata may be surplus to requirements for Jose Mourinho but the duo are sure to attract plenty of suitors. Sky Sports News HQ understands Mourinho is willing to accept suitable bids for the two players shortly after taking charge at Manchester United, with neither player fitting his physical profile for their respective positions.Sky Bet have wasted little time in pricing up where the duo will head next with some of Europes top sides expected to be alerted by their availability. Heres a look at their possible next clubs...Daley Blinds next club odds Blind has spent the majority of his season paired with Chris Smalling at centre-back Ajax (11/8 with Sky Bet)Blinds versatility is sure to appeal to plenty of clubs but a return to his first club Ajax is deemed most likely. The 26-year-old played over 100 times for the Dutch giants, winning the Eredivisie four times and being named Dutch Footballer of the Year in his final season before being sold to United.If appreciation of his talents and domestic silverware are his main desires then a return to the Amsterdam ArenA looks the right fit. However, much is likely to depend on the budget handed to their new manager Peter Bosz, who was appointed after Frank de Boer decided to leave following a failure to capture a fifth successive league title.Southampton (6/1)If Blind is looking to remain in England but under the guidance of another Dutchman then St Marys is the perfect place. The question is where hed fit into the Saints side, with right-back being their area of greatest need as Ryan Bertrand has the left side pinned down and defensive midfielders are plentiful.However, with Europa League football added to next seasons schedule, Ronald Koeman will undoubtedly be looking to add some depth to his talented squad this summer and Blinds versatility and quality would certainly enhance their cause. Blind admitted he was disappointed when Louis van Gaal left Everton (8/1)The Toffees are certainly in need of some fresh faces, especially if John Stones departs. An appointment of fellow Dutchman De Boer is sure to see Evertons odds of landing Blind tumble, although betting on the next manager at Goodison Park remains wide open. Other optionsValencia are next in the line in Sky Bets market, with Celtic, Schalke, Sevilla and Borussia Monchengladbach also considered possible destinations for Blind to compete in the Europa League next season.Juan Matas next club odds Mata scored six times for United as they finished fifth Valencia (3/1)Once again, it is a return to a first club looking most likely with Mata establishing himself as one of Europes most sought-after talents during his spell at the Mestalla.dddddddddddd While the Spaniard would surely welcome the adulation back at Valencia after lacking appreciation during his last few seasons in England, it remains to be seen whether hed be willing to join a side absent from Europe after finishing 12th in La Liga. Pako Ayestaran is also unlikely to have sufficient budget to match Matas wages, let alone Uniteds demands, even though their top-paid player Alvaro Negredo looks set to leave this summer.Sevilla (5/1)The Europa League champions look a more suitable fit in terms of aspirations, having booked their place in Europes top-tier tournament at the expense of Liverpool. They also need to boost their ranks having finished seventh in La Liga, winning just once on the road, but have been more renowned for their exporting and development of talent than buying stars in recent years.Much is also likely to depend on a potential shake up in their management ranks, with highly rated technical director Monchi reportedly considering an approach from Manchester United, while manager Unai Emery is second favourite for the Everton job. Mata failed to fit into Jose Mourinhos Chelsea system Chelsea (6/1)Could Mata return to the club which discarded him under Mourinho? The 28-year-old certainly impressed before the Special One took the reins, claiming their 2012/13 Player of the Year award and making the PFA Team of the Season. However, current boss Antonio Conte is renowned for a high-pressing and direct style of play, which might well count against the Spanish playmaker once again.PSG (6/1)PSG could also comfortably match Matas financial demands and are probably the side United will be most keen to receive interest from given their willingness to spend big. The French giants are likely to be linked with almost every top name around the continent this summer as they look to strengthen their chances of winning Europes top prize and replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Other optionsTwo of Spains top sides follow in the betting with Atletico Madrid 8/1 and Barcelona 10s. The latter seems a more natural technical fit for Mata, although it remains to be seen where he would fit into their star-studded side. Arsenals (12/1) style would also suit but Arsene Wenger will surely have higher priorities than adding more creativity to his squad, while United would presumably prefer to sell abroad.
