naut, which has been un- stoppable since Jimmie Johnson's win at Charlotte on May 25. Since that race, Johnson has won three times and teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. won once. Back it up to Jeff Gordon's win at Kansas and teams powered by Hendrick en- gines have won the last six races, including Jamie Mc- Murray's All-Star race vic- tory. The all-time record for consecutive car owner vic- tories is 16 by Carl Kiekhae- fer in 1956. The Hendrick organization won six con- secutive races in 2007 to set the modern era record and its best bet for a tie could be Gordon, who has nine career wins on road courses. Gordon is proud of his success rate at Sonoma, where he's the all-time leader with five wins. Gor- don hasn't finished lower than ninth at Sonoma since his 2006 victory, a span of eight consecutive top-10 finishes. "We've worked hard as a team to be competitive on road courses and we've had a lot of success at Sonoma. But it's not an easy track to conquer," said Gordon, who grew up in nearby Vallejo. Ambrose, considered one of the best road course racers in NASCAR, still likes his chances. "My talents are re- ally good on road racing in these big, heavy stock cars," he said. "It suits my style, suits the way I like to drive a race car. I get a lot of good feedback for the wheel. I think it's a natural skill set for me." Since Petty took over sole ownership of the team in 1993, more than a dozen drivers have driven for him and Ambrose ranks among the best with two wins and three poles. His victories match the late Bobby Ham- ilton and Kasey Kahne. With one more top-10 fin- ish, Ambrose will tie Ham- ilton's mark of 28. Ambrose doesn't focus on statistics and instead has his eye on making the Chase. "There's pressure build- ing, there's a chance to lock yourself into the Chase, which would make your season, you get a chance to win a Sprint Cup race, which you don't get to do very often," Am- brose said. "What I do this weekend is not try to think about it, be normal, try to relax leading into this week. The more you think about it, the worse you tend to go."

ON THE AIR At least he has a rela- tively smooth path in the draw until the quarterfi- nals, where he could play seventh-seeded David Fer- rer or Grigor Dmitrov, who won last week's warm-up at Queen's Club. Then looms a potential semifinal against top-seeded Novak Djokovic — a rematch of last year's final. "It will be a proud mo- ment to come back as defending champion," said Murray, who is now coached by former Wim- bledon champion Ame- lie Mauresmo after part- ing ways with Ivan Lendl earlier this season. "I don't know how I will feel, I have no idea. I'm sure I will be nervous and feel some pressure, but I'll try to en- joy it. It's a new experience for me." For Nadal, it's a lot trick- ier. The Spaniard, who holds two Wimbledon ti- tles, has not fared well on the grass the past two years, losing in the second round in 2012 and the first round last year. He's also coming off a loss in his first match at the Halle grass- court tournament. The top-ranked Nadal, who is seeded No. 2, will start against No. 57 Mar- tin Klizan of Slovakia. The Spaniard, who won his ninth French Open ti- tle earlier this month, could then face Lukas Ro- sol, who beat him here two years ago. Nadal, the only man with at least one Grand Slam title in 10 consecu- tive years, could then be pitted against big-serving Ivo Karlovic in the third round. Waiting in the quar- terfinals could be another big hitter — eighth-seeded Milos Raonic of Canada. Friday's draw put Mur- ray in the top half with Djokovic, who won Wim- bledon in 2011. Nadal is in the bottom half with seven- time champion Roger Fe- derer. Federer will start against Paolo Lorenzi of Italy and Djokovic will play his first match against Andrey Gol- ubev of Kazakhstan. Djokovic could meet Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the fourth round and former finalist Tomas Berdych in the last eight. Federer, who has lost before the quarterfinals at three of the last four Slams, might face third-ranked and Davis Cup teammate Stan Wawrinka in an all- Swiss encounter in the quarters. Sharapova, who de- feated Williams in the 2004 final at the age of 17 to win her only Wimbledon title and first Grand Slam championship, will open against Samantha Murray. Williams will take on Anna Tatishvili. If Williams and Sharapova get to the quar- terfinals, it will set up their 19th career meeting. Wil- liams leads 16-2 and has not lost to her Russian rival since the 2004 WTA Cham- pionships. The other potential women's quarterfinals are: Simona Halep vs. Jelena Jankovic, Victoria Aza- renka vs. Agnieszka Rad- wanska, and Petra Kvitova vs. Li Na. Williams is coming off a second-round loss at the French Open, where Sharapova won her fifth major title. After Wil- liams' previous early exit at the French Open in 2012, when she lost in the first round, she went on to win Wimbledon and the U.S. Open. Draw FROM PAGE 1 World Cups in the Amer- icas were won by teams outside Latin America. On current evidence, this one looks increasingly unlikely to be the exception. Although the score was just 1-0, Costa Rica was a convincing winner Friday over four-time champion Italy in the coastal city of Recife. Having also won its first match, 3-1, against two-time winner Uruguay, Costa Rica is now guaran- teed a spot in the knock- out stage. Costa Rica's win also killed off England's faint hopes of advancing. Italy and Uruguay will play each other Tuesday to deter- mine which of them joins Costa Rica in advancing from Group D and which will join 1966 champion England and 2010 win- ner Spain in phoning their travel agents. Costa Rica, with just 5 million people, was seen as the easy opponent in the group — the first ever with three former world cham- pions. Instead, the Ticos have looked the hungri- est team of the four, and are already preparing for a knockout game. The only two European nations to have beaten Americas teams so far in Brazil are France and Swit- zerland, which overcame Honduras and Ecuador, respectively, in their first Group E matches. On Fri- day, France and Switzer- land played each other in Salvador, also on the coast. The French were rampant winners, 5-2, all but guar- anteeing they, too, will ad- vance to the last 16 for only the second time since they won the title in 1998. Switzerland coach Ott- mar Hitzfeld tipped France to go "very far in this tour- nament" after it shred- ded his team's defenses and reputation as tough to break down. Five different players scored for France. If it stays on top of Group E, it will likely face Iran, Nigeria or Bosnia in the last 16. They should all be manageable opponents for the talented French who are rebuilding their rep- utation ruined by a train- ing ground strike by play- ers at the last World Cup. Friday marked the fourth anniversary of that debacle in South Africa. Attackers Olivier Gir- oud and Karim Benzema each scored one goal and created another against the Swiss. Benzema went 15 games without scoring for France in 2012-2013. He now is among just four players to have three goals in Brazil. "Karim is confirming that he's in very, very good form. He's in great shape athletically," said France coach Didier Deschamps. "Having such an efficient player is very important in a competition like this." The outcome of Group E remains undecided even after Honduras' loss in Cu- ritiba to Ecuador, its sec- ond defeat of the tourna- ment. France, with two wins and most goals scored and fewest allowed, is best placed to go through. Costa Rica had never beaten Uruguay in eight previous attempts or It- aly in their only meeting in 1994. If it beats Eng- land in the teams' first- ever encounter next Tues- day, Costa Rica will com- plete a hat-trick of victories over those former champi- ons with seven World Cup titles between them. Their victory over the Italians was no fluke. Ital- ian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon made several div- ing saves. But he couldn't reach Bryan Ruiz's pin- point header in the 44th minute off Junior Diaz's long, curling cross from the left. Costa Rica ground to a standstill as government employees took the day off towatchthegameandmany schoolsshutdownshortlyaf- ter the victory to allow chil- dren to join celebrations. Crowds shouting: "Yes, we did it!" blocked streets of downtownSanJose,thecap- ital. In Brazil, players began toreceivephotosoftheparty on their smartphones. Costa Rica'sonlyotherappearance in the knockout phase came in its World Cup debut in 1990. It didn't get beyond the group stage in 2002 and 2006. "It was the squad with the lowest profile in the group, but you don't ad- vance on profile alone in big tournaments," said It- aly coach Cesare Prandelli.
