what to say. I really dont think that Ill be getting back in the tch. H

MARTINSVILLE, Va. -- Jeff Gordon hasnt invited any big guests such as Lewis Hamilton or Mario Andretti to the Sprint Cup race Sunday, and he has no big postrace party planned as he did for what many thought would be his final NASCAR race last November at Homestead.While the four-time Cup champion wouldnt call the race Sunday at Martinsville Speedway his official last NASCAR race, he said he has no plans to race in NASCAR again following the Goodys Fast Relief 500.Gordon came out of retirement this year in a substitute role as Dale Earnhardt Jr. recovers from a concussion. Gordon has competed in seven races this year and the Martinsville race is his last one planned in a substitute role for the Hendrick Motorsports team where he remains an equity owner.This is my last race, the 45-year-old Gordon said with a laugh while using air quotes to emphasize the last two words. Your guess is as good as mine. I can promise you that I had no intentions of this happening. But here I am.So never say never is all I know what to say. I really dont think that Ill be getting back in the Cup car again. But go ask Rick Hendrick.Gordon competed in four consecutive races starting with Indianapolis in July and then three more in a six-race stretch. His best finish was 10th four weeks ago at Dover, the last time he has driven the Hendrick No. 88 car in sharing the substitute role with young driver Alex Bowman.I hope in the future that the drivers dont have a situation like what we have with Junior where we need somebody to fill in for them, said Gordon, who believes Earnhardt will return as hoped for the 2017 Daytona 500. But this little bit of experience has been good for me, good for the organization and we had a little bit of fun with it as well.If I had to do it, then certainly I would. But I dont anticipate it.If any track beyond Indianapolis could lure Gordon back to the drivers seat, Martinsville would rank high on the list. He won the race at Martinsville a year ago, his ninth career victory at NASCARs shortest track and the 93rd (and possibly last) victory of his career.There is a part of me that wasnt sure if I wanted to come back and take away from that, but at the same time, Ive always said if there was one track where I felt like I could get back in the car and feel comfortable and competitive, its this track, Gordon said.For that, Im happy that Im here.Gordon teammate Jimmie Johnson wouldnt call this Gordons last race. Gordon competed in 797 consecutive races through the end of last year and transitioned to the television booth for Fox, which telecasts the first 16 Cup points races each year.That is so hard to say, Johnson said. He is one heck of a sub to have sitting on the bench when you need it. We will see. Im not sure he is ready to completely stop.I think he was ready to get off the merry-go-round of 39 races a year, but the full stop I dont think he is ready for. Wholesale Custom Devils Shirts .

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Reggie Bush has been with the Detroit Lions for a little more than two months and already likes what he sees. A lot. "We have the guys here to be able to win a Super Bowl," the speedy running back said Tuesday. "Obviously with that said, theres a lot that has to go into the season, the scheme, this off-season, before we can even think about that. Right now, we just have to think about doing the little things right, coming together and building that chemistry." Bush did his part during an optional workout, working on passing routes with Matthew Stafford on one side of the field while the rest of the team was participating in or watching another drill. "Those little things help, they make a big difference," Bush said. Detroit has made some big moves -- such as signing Bush to a four-year deal in March -- and subtle ones to reshape its roster in the hopes of bouncing back from a four-win season that ended with an eight-game losing streak. Like Bush, team vice chairman Bill Ford has liked what he has seen the Martin Mayhew-led front office do this season to make this season more similar to 2011, when the Lions won 10 games and made it to the playoffs for the first time in more than a decade. "I like the talent on the team," Ford said after watching the teams workout. "Martin has done a great job. We have a lot more depth than we did going into prior seasons." Ford didnt want to make predictions, but he likes the teams chances. "Weve got a quarterback and there are teams in the league that cant say that," Ford said. "And obviously, we have a lot of talent around this quarterback as well, so, those are reasons. Defensively, I think weve added important pieces. And, I feel very good about the direction." Ford was supportive of coach Jim Schwartz, but he didnt exactly rave about the coachh with a 22-42 record over the last four years after he inherited a team coming off the NFLs first 0-16 season.dddddddddddd. "I think Jim would be the first to admit there have been times that he has learned on the job, but I think hes a very, very good coach," Ford said. Schwartzs chances of being successful this year seem to be improving daily because Mayhew seems to improving the roster with a series of signings and waiver claims. Detroit signed two veteran guards, Leroy Harris and Jake Scott, to compete to start at right guard. The Lions also brought in Michael Spurlock to add depth at receiver and on special teams. "They have a pretty prolific offence, so I am excited to be here," said Harris, who is recovering from surgery on his right knee. "And, I hopefully should be good to go by training camp." Soon after the start of free agency, safety Glover Quinn and defensive end Jason Jones were signed to be starters. Kicker David Akers, special teams ace Montell Owens, receiver Devin Thomas and defensive tackle C.J. Mosley have also been added to address voids. "This is the year for us," Jones said. "We have to do some big things." Bush expects the offence, with receiver Calvin Johnson, to dominate like the Super Bowl-winning Saints team he played on did during the 2009 season. "Theres no excuse for us not to be a top-three offence, even No. 1," Bush said. "We have all the guys here of that calibre to be a top-ranked offence. Its up to us now, putting in the work." Notes: DT Nick Fairley was not attend the optional workout, "He chose not to be here and its voluntary," Schwartz said. ... Johnson didnt practice, getting a day of rest from Schwartz. ... The Lions cut WR Troy Burrell, TE Nathan Overbay and CB Lionel Smith to make room for Spurlock, Harris and Scott on the roster. ' ' '
