LONDON -- Edmonton hopes to host another Commonwealth Games, officially throwing its hat into the bidding race for the 2022 Games. The Alberta capital, which hosted the 1978 Commonwealth Games, will be up against Durban, South Africa. Dr. Andrew Pipe, president of Commonwealth Games Canada, said Edmonton is the logical choice. "Canada is the birthplace of the Commonwealth Games, with the British Empire Games held in Hamilton in 1930," Pipe said in a statement. The British Empire Games were the first of what came to be known as the Commonwealth Games. Both cities advised the Commonwealth Games Federation of their intentions Monday. Formal bid proposals are due in March 2015. CGF members will formally consider the bids at the Federations General Assembly in Auckland, N.Z., in September 2015. Canada has hosted the Games four times, with Vancouver playing host in 1954 and Victoria in 1994. Glasgow won the bid for this summers Games, beating Abuja, Nigeria in voting 47-24. Gold Coast, Australia beat Hambantota, Sri Lanka in bidding for the 2018 Games by a vote of 71-27. The Games have never been held in Africa. Edmonton hosted the World University Games in 1983, the 2001 world track and field championships, the 2005 World Masters Games and the 2006 Womens Rugby World Cup. Discount Jerseys China .

The Pacers announced Friday night that George has been cleared "to return to normal basketball activity," a decision made three days after he was concussed in Game 2 of the Indiana-Miami series.Fort Worth, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - With three races to go in the 2014 Camping World Truck Series season, three drivers are in a tight battle for the championship. Matt Crafton, the defending series champion, holds an 18-point lead over Ryan Blaney and a 22-point advantage over Darrell Wallace Jr. Johnny Sauter, who is Craftons teammate at ThorSport Racing, is a now a long shot for the title, as he trails by 40 points. No driver has won back-to-back championships in the 20-year history of this series. The series is racing at Texas Motor Speedway on Friday night and then competing one week later at Phoenix International Raceway before wrapping up the season on Nov. 14 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. In June, Crafton won at Texas for the first time in 27 truck races there. The series has been competing at this 1.5-mile track twice each season since 1999. Crafton put on a dominating performance in the most recent truck event there, leading 118 of 167 laps, but had to conserve his fuel in the closing stages after last pitting with 61 laps to go. Getting a win at Texas was really cool, Crafton said. In June, the track is hot and slippery but this weekend, there will be cooler temps and a lot of grip, so itll be faster. This race is 20 laps shorter, so well have to see how the race plays out, but I feel confident we can pull off a sweep. Crafton claimed his second win of the season at Texas but has not been into victory lane since. He has finished sixth or better in seven of the last eight races, including a third-place run last Saturday at Martinsville Speedway. Blaney led a total of 45 laps in the June race at Texas but ended up finishing fourth. We had a great Ford F--150 in the first race at Texas, Blaney said.dddddddddddd. We had a good shot at winning, and it was just kind of a fuel strategy deal that put us back to fourth. Blaney has one win this season, which occurred in August at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. He has finished 10th or better in the last four races. Wallace claimed his third victory of the season at Martinsville. He also finished second at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and Las Vegas Motor Speedway before placing ninth at Talladega Superspeedway. We have the momentum on our side from the win at Martinsville, and our mile- and-a-half program has really improved this season, Wallace said. We have been fast on mile-and-a-half tracks, including Texas earlier this season. Since we were last at Texas, I think we have improved even more, and at our last mile-and-a-half race (Sept. 27 at Las Vegas), we ran up front, led laps and came up just short of a win. Wallace has finished 6th, 7th and 10th in his three truck races at Texas. I think we have what it takes to make that a top five this weekend and even contend for the win, he added. Kyle Busch, who is Wallaces teammate and team owner, is competing in this race. Busch has two truck victories at Texas (the fall events in 2009 and 10). He has the most wins in the series this season with six. Thirty-two teams are on the entry list for the WinStar World Casino 350. Series: NASCAR Camping World. Date: Friday, Oct. 31.
