Danny King was crowned as the 2016 British Speedway champion after a thrilling final at the National Stadium in Manchester. King had earlier led the scorers on 13 points after adding three to his tally in the 20th heat, and the 29-year-old continued his fine form as he powered to victory in the treacherous wet conditions.The Coventry Bees and Ipswich Witches rider had been the outstanding performer on the night and gained a wildcard place at next months British Speedway Grand Prix in Cardiff. Craig Cook was forced to settle for second place, qualifying behind King for the final with 12 points, and then crossed the line after him in the final, while the impressive teenager Robert Lambert ended in third on the podium. Robert Lambert finished third in the final after winning the race-off Seven-time champion Scott Nicholls had only made the race-off on count back, but failed to qualify for the final after finishing in fourth, with Lambert crossing the line first and Steve Worrall taking the last remaining spot.But King was not to be denied the trophy as he masterfully handled the slippery race surface, surging past Cook on the outside to take first place, and never looked in danger of losing the lead. Its something Ive always wanted to do, obviously being British champion as well. Theyve both come true tonight. Danny King on Grand Prix place I just knew I had to do it.

I thought, if its going to work, Ive got to come in it and stay in it - and thats what I did.It was just a bit of a blur, I kept waiting for the checkered flag. Although it looked all over the place, it sort of felt in control. Reflecting on his wildcard spot, King added: Its something Ive always wanted to do, obviously being British champion as well.

The decision was announced Thursday by the Hall, which said Joe Torres plaque will have the logo of the New York Yankees. Plaques for Tom Glavine and Bobby Cox will have Atlanta Braves logos, and Frank Thomas will have the logo of the Chicago White Sox. The six will be inducted during ceremonies on July 27. The managers were elected last month by the Halls expansion-era committee and the players were chosen this month by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Of the 300 previous Hall members, 86 have caps with logos and 42 dont have caps. Maddux began his big league career with the Chicago Cubs from 1986-92, winning the first of his four Cy Young Awards in his final season at Wrigley Field. He was with the Braves from 1993-03, winning Cy Youngs in his first three seasons in Atlanta, then returned to the Cubs from 2004-06. He also played for the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres from 2006-08. "I feel good about it, I spent half my career in Chicago and half of my career in Atlanta," Maddux said during a news conference in Arlington, Texas. "I love both places. Obviously, I feel like I had more success as a Brave. We did get a World Series there, but I kind of came up a Cub. For me, I couldnt pick. I really couldnt. ... So Im going to go in neutral, I guess." Hall President Jeff Idelson said a logo makes sense for those "whose most compelling contributions clearly took place with one team" and not having a team logo is "equally acceptable" for those whose careers were built significantly among multiple teams. "Regardless of the selection, a Hall of Famer belong to every team for which he played or managed, as well as every fan who followed his career," Idelson said. La Russa managed the Chicago White Sox (1979-86), Oakland (1986-95) and St. Louis (1996-11), winnning World Series titles in 1989, 2006 and 2011.dddddddddddd. "The Chicago White Sox gave me my start in the game as a big league manager for my first eight seasons in my 33-year managerial career," La Russa said. "In Oakland, we recorded four first-place finishes in 10 years, winning three pennants and a World Series. And in St. Louis, our clubs won three pennants and two titles in 16 years. Its the totality of the success of each of those three teams that led me to Cooperstown, so I am choosing to not feature a logo so that fans of all clubs can celebrate this honour with me." Torre managed the Yankees from 1996-07, winning Series titles in 1996 and from 1998-00. He also managed the New York Mets (1997-81), Atlanta (1982-84), St. Louis (1990-95) and the Dodgers (2008-10). "When I became the manager of the New York Yankees, it was an opportunity to realize my lifelong dream of winning the World Series," Torre said. "We were fortunate enough to succeed in our first season in 1996, and in the years that followed, we wrote some great new chapters in Yankee history." Decisions were relatively simple for the others. Glavine pitched for the Braves from 1987-02 and in 2008, spending 2003-07 with the Mets. Choosing the Braves was easy for Glavine, who said he knew it had to be a tough decision for Maddux because of his time with the Cubs. Still, Glavine is surprised about Maddux choosing no logo. "It still was a lot of fun for me to be his teammate," Glavine said before the annual dinner of the Boston chapter of the BBWAA. Cox managed the Braves from 1978-81, managed Toronto from 1982-85, then returned to Atlanta as general manager. He became the Braves manager again in 1990 and stayed through 2010, leading Atlanta to 14 straight division titles and a World Series championship in 1995. Thomas was with the White Sox from 1990-05, then split 2006-08 between Oakland and Toronto. ' ' '
