MILL HALL, Pa. – The Clinton County Fair Ass’n has announced plans for the upcoming racing season at the three-eighths-mile dirt oval.

Clinton County Motor Speedway will begin its 32nd year of operations.

The Fair Ass’n has decided to be the operators of the speedway with assistance and guidance of former race promoter Jason McCahan, who promoted the speedway from 2002-2004.

“The board felt it was the right time to take control of the speedway to ensure that it opened in 2020,” said fair board president Phil Courter. “We watched the success of the Juniata County Fair Ass’n and Port Royal Speedway and would like to replicate that here. We are pleased to have Jason back with us for this new era of racing at Clinton County.”

“Clinton County is my hometown track,” said McCahan.  “I remember being here for the inaugural race when it opened in 1989. Over the years it has had its ups and downs with various promotional teams. It is my goal to help the fair build a stable weekly program that will gain strong support from the racing community and its fans.  The races are a great family entertainment venue.”

The speedway plans to open on Friday, May 1 with the Limited Late Models as the headline division. The following week on May 8, the Racesaver Sprint Cars sanctioned by the Laurel Highlands Sprint Series will be the featured division. The two divisions will share the spotlight throughout the season.

In addition to the headlining divisions, the 270 Micro Sprints, 600 Micro Sprints, Pro Stock and 4 Cylinder Stock cars will be featured weekly.

“We have had a number of Pro Stock drivers from Selinsgrove Speedway and Port Royal Speedway express an interest in racing Friday nights at Clinton County, so we have made them a weekly division,” added McCahan. “We are doing the same thing with the270 Micro Sprints and 600 Micro Sprints, we believe as a weekly division more drivers can commit to making Clinton County their weekly Friday night speedway.”

The four-cylinder division will see the most change, as the rules will return to a stock division.

“We had strong support by the four-cylinder class when it was a stock division in 2002,” said McCahan. “Many of our current late model and pro stock drivers started their racing careers in the four-cylinder class, so I feel that it is important to return this division to an economical-grass-roots racing division.”

The schedule will feature weekly racing from May through September. Special events and promotions will be announced as details are confirmed.

“We are thankful for those in the racing community who have assisted us to ensure the speedway opens in 2020,” said Courter. “It has been a busy start to 2020 with a great deal of work that has taken place behind the scenes.”

RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Carolina Hurricanes have recalled goaltenders Anton Forsberg and Alex Nedeljkovic from their American Hockey League affiliate after losing two goaltenders to injury and relying on an on-call emergency netminder Saturday night in a victory at Toronto.

The Hurricanes announced the move Sunday. That came after they lost James Reimer and Petr Mrazek to injuries the night before, forcing them to use 42-year-old David Ayres in net to finish the 6-3 win.

The 27-year-old Forsberg has posted a 15-9-2 record with a 2.95 goals-against average and a .905 save percentage in 27 appearances with the Charlotte Checkers this year. The Hurricanes acquired Forsberg in a trade last June.

The 24-year-old Nedeljkovic has posted a 15-10-2 record, 2.51 goals-against average and a .905 save percentage with four shutouts in 28 appearances with the Checkers this year. The Hurricanes selected him in the second round of the 2014 draft.

Ayres will attend Carolina's home game Tuesday night against the Dallas Stars.

"See you Tuesday, Davey!" the club said on its Twitter account. "Ayres will be in the building on Tuesday and will be our (at)VectorSecurity Siren Sounder!"

"They're flying me down to Carolina for their game on Tuesday so I'll get to spend more time with the guys, which is good," Ayres said Toronto on Sunday at the Leafs' practice facility. "They're a great team, great organization."

Raleigh Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin also announced Tuesday will be "David Ayres Day" in the city.

The Hurricanes started selling shirts with Ayres' name and No. 90 after the game. The team says Ayres will get royalties and a portion of the proceeds will go to a kidney foundation in honor of the goaltender, who underwent a kidney transplant in 2004.

Viktor Hovland rolled in a 30-foot birdie putt on the final hole to capture his maiden PGA Tour victory in dramatic fashion at the Puerto Rico Open.

Hovland started the day with a one-shot lead, and at one point he built a three-shot advantage midway through the round. But after overcoming an ill-timed triple bogey, he was facing the prospect of a playoff with journeyman Josh Teater as he played the par-5 closing hole.

After his wedge came up short as rain fell in Rio Grande, the 22-year-old buried the birdie putt to finish the week at 20 under after a final-round 70 and polish off a breakthrough win.

"I hit some really good shots down the stretch," Hovland said. "The putt on the last was just a bonus."

Last year the former U.S. Amateur champ became the first player in more than 20 years to take low amateur honors at both the Masters and U.S. Open. He turned pro in June and nearly secured a PGA Tour card at the end of last season via non-member FedExCup points. But after becoming the first rookie to win this season, he's now fully exempt through 2022 and has earned spots in The Players and PGA Championship later this spring.

He's also expected to move into the top 60 in the latest world rankings, with the top 50 at the end of March invited to the Masters.

"Obviously you're trying to win every week, but I mean, to just do it, it's incredible," Hovland said. "It's a special feeling."

Hovland's victory means that the three most decorated members of the Class of 2019 have now all won Tour events within the first nine months of their pro career. Hovland's former teammate at Oklahoma State, Matthew Wolff, won the 3M Open in July, while Collin Morikawa won the Barracuda Championship that same month.

Teater, 40, is playing this season on conditional status and was looking for his first career PGA Tour win in his 193rd start. But his 15-foot birdie putt on No. 18 came up short, and he could only watch as Hovland made a putt of his own a few minutes later.

"Hat's off to Viktor," Teater said. "He's a great player, and we're going to see him do it more often."

Former PGA Tour winners Kyle Stanley and Emiliano Grillo were among a tie for third at 15 under, five shots behind Hovland, while veteran Jhonattan Vegas earned a T-9 finish thanks to a final-round 62.

Let the celebration begin in Oslo!

Viktor Hovland canned a 30-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole Sunday at the Puerto Rico Open to capture his first career PGA Tour victory. More importantly, though, Hovland's win made history in his home country, as the 22-year-old became Norway's first Tour winner.

If one needed any indication what the reaction would be like back home, listen to these Norwegian announcers call Hovland's winning putt, which pushed Hovland to 20 under, a shot clear of runner-up Josh Teater.

Somebody get those guys some oxygen!

Hovland's breakthrough comes less than a year after Hovland's former Oklahoma State teammate Matt Wolff won his first Tour title, which came in similar walk-off fashion. Wolff, of course, holed an eagle putt from a similar length to win the 3M Open last summer.

Moments after securing a breakthrough win at the Puerto Rico Open, Viktor Hovland offered the sort of candid assessment you might expect out of a 22-year-old.

Hovland was all smiles after burying a birdie putt on the final hole for a one-shot win in Puerto Rico, a victory that makes him exempt through 2022 and gets him into several marquee events. But it almost unraveled on the 11th hole, a seemingly innocuous par-3 where he missed the green while nursing a three-shot lead.

Hovland chunked a chip shot from near the cart path, then failed to reach the green again with his third. It added up to a triple bogey which erased his advantage and put his tournament chances in peril.

Hovland ranks 230th on Tour this season in strokes gained: around the green, and he didn't mince any words when asked about what went wrong on No. 11.

"I just suck at chipping," Hovland said. "I definitely need to work on my short game, and I was 100 percent exposed there on that hole."

Granted, it wasn't all a lost cause for Hovland around the greens. His prior advantage was in part because of a chip-in birdie on the 10th hole, and he bounced back in a big way with a chip-in eagle on No. 15 that put him back in the lead.

But the dreaded "other" was still on the card, as Hovland became just the fourth player to win on Tour since 2004 with a triple bogey or worse in the final round - joining a list that includes Kevin Na (2019 Shriners), Rickie Fowler (2019 Waste Management) and Keegan Bradley (2011 PGA Championship).

PGA Tour rookie Viktor Hovland earned his first PGA Tour victory at the Puerto Rico Open. Here's a look at earnings and FedExCup points for those who made the cut:

Another wild weekend in the Premier League is done and dusted. We get you caught up on the action with the Weekend Review.

JUMP TO: Mourinho's moaning | Vertonghen done at Spurs? | Giroud could be key for Chelsea | Fernandes fits at Man United | Arsenal's A+ attack | Lazaro's woe | Leicester's slide continues | Smith unleashes on Villa | Gomes' return a boost for Everton | Burnley get lucky

Mourinho's complaining at Spurs is counter-productive

Manchester United's third goal on Sunday, a bow on a win they'd already wrapped up against Watford, might not have much to do with Jose Mourinho and Tottenham Hotspur on the face of things. But that goal was scored by Mason Greenwood, his 11th of the season.

Greenwood only turned 18 earlier this season and would not have played so many times for the first team if United's recruitment was in any way competent and had signed a replacement for Romelu Lukaku. But they didn't, and Greenwood was pressed into action, much earlier than was ideal. That thought sprang to mind when Mourinho once again repeatedly highlighted his lack of attacking options following Tottenham's 2-1 defeat to Chelsea.

- Ogden: VAR farce overshadows Chelsea's win
- Chelsea ratings: Giroud 9/10 in star performance
- Spurs ratings: Lo Celso, Davies 4/10 in dismal display

Nobody will argue that being without Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min is anything but terrible for Tottenham, but Mourinho's insistence that he literally has no other options is undermined by the existence of Troy Parrott, the highly rated Irish forward who is only a few months younger than Greenwood.

Mourinho insists he isn't ready for the first-team, and that may well be true. But Greenwood wasn't ready. Marcus Rashford wasn't ready either. Or at least in theory they weren't ready; they were thrown in regardless and United waited to see if they sank or swum. (If it had been the former, they would have been quietly whisked back to the under-23s.) As it turns out Rashford is one of the best attackers in the Premier League and Greenwood has been excellent thus far. Parrott might well follow suit once he gets his chance, but as long as Mourinho continues his supercharged "woe is me, I'm only happy when it rains" routine, we won't find out.

Of course it wouldn't be ideal to turn to an 18-year-old with one senior appearance to his name, but why not try him? It seems to sum up Mourinho's demeanour at the moment, reacting to adversity by claiming it's not possible to overcome it, waving an exasperated hand at the remaining collection of internationals from which he's cruelly forced to pick a functional XI and saying it's all hopeless. You wonder how all of this is going down in the dressing room, too: Mourinho is not only creating a defeatist attitude, but denigrating the players he does have at his disposal.

Mourinho has pretty much done what was he was asked to do for this season, stemming the bleeding after the last sad days of Mauricio Pochettino, but his current wailing is in danger of already undoing his good work.

Is this it for Jan Vertonghen?

Having noted the above about Parrott and Mourinho's attitude, it's also worth mentioning that Spurs aren't being helped by some honking performances from their most senior players.

There was a moment in the second-half of Saturday's defeat to Chelsea when Mason Mount knocked the ball to the right of Jan Vertonghen, then round around to his left, collecting the ball so easily that it looked like the Belgian was moving in slow motion. It was like a scaled-down version of Gary Neville's final game against West Brom, when the starkness of his decline caused him to instantly retire.

It's not that bad for Vertonghen, but he is surely done at Spurs. Thanks for the memories Jan, but it's time.

Giroud could be key for the rest of Chelsea's season

To look at things in a negative way, Frank Lampard might wonder why he didn't use Olivier Giroud before, preferring the (to put things kindly) erratic Michy Batshuayi as first reserve for Tammy Abraham. But Giroud was crucial to Chelsea on Saturday, and not just because of the terrific goal he scored.

Essentially, the 3-4-2-1 system that Lampard deployed doesn't really work -- or at least is only really effective -- with someone like Giroud in the team. We all know that his hold-up play is superb, but his smart movement is particularly important. The manner in which he drags defenders this way and that, creating space for the two behind him -- in this case Mount and Ross Barkley -- to run into was on full display for Chelsea's second goal as well.

Giroud is probably still quite irritated that he remains at Chelsea, having spent most of the last six months or so trying to get out. Lampard clearly wasn't especially keen to keep him around either, but now they're both stuck working together, they might realise how much they can help each other.

Fernandes already belongs at United

His arrival might have been a few months late, but the important thing for Manchester United is that Bruno Fernandes is there now, and he looks like quite a player. Sometimes you can tell from the first few minutes that a player belongs, that he fits at a club or in a league, and Fernandes fits perfectly.

- Dawson: Fernandes sparking Man United at crucial time
- Man United ratings: Fernandes 8/10 in dazzling display

"He has come in from day one and felt like a presence in the group from first minute, demanding the ball," said Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after their 3-0 win over Watford. "Some players take some time in warming up, but he has felt confident right away."

It's true that he cost a lot of money and United's haggling with Sporting ultimately turned out to be pointless, but that will be quickly forgotten if he carries on like this. Not only did he score the opener for United from the penalty spot in Sunday's 3-0 win over Watford, but he set up Greenwood's goal with a clever pass.

"In today's market, I think we got a good deal," said Solskjaer. "[Fernandes] has given everyone a boost."

Arsenal thrill in attack

Not only are Arsenal now potentially just four points from a Champions League place after edging Everton 3-2 on Sunday, but the sheer variety and thrilling nature of their attacking options are things to get very excited about.

- Williams: Arsenal finally going places under Arteta
- Arsenal ratings: Saka, Aubameyang 7/10

From Bukayo Saka to Eddie Nketiah, from Nicolas Pepe to Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, these Arsenal forwards are quite something.

Poor old Valentino

Valentino Lazaro's time at Newcastle in numbers so far: three games, zero wins, one appearance as a popular meme after being nutmegged by Saka and, this weekend, one red card after his dismissal for rugby tackling Wilfried Zaha.

Just remember that no matter how badly things are going for you, there's usually someone worse off.

Are Leicester in trouble?

At what point do Leicester start to seriously worry about a Champions League place that seemed guaranteed a few weeks ago? They have a 10-point cushion between themselves and sixth place, but they're on a run of three wins in the last 11 and against Manchester City on Saturday, they were not only beaten with more comfort than the 1-0 scoreline suggested, but looked out on their feet in the second half.

- Ogden: Man City are tuned up for Champions League

Jamie Vardy hasn't scored in eight games, James Maddison seems off the pace, and something happened to Youri Tielemans a few months ago that's made sages of all those big teams that didn't sign him. Ben Chilwell is perpetuating the idea that he's actually pretty overrated, they don't have a holding midfielder to speak of and Brendan Rodgers said afterwards they looked tired, despite very recently enjoying a two-week break.

Leicester's true quality probably lies somewhere between this awful run and the storming form they showed in the final months of 2019, but if they do manage to let this golden chance of qualifying for the Champions League slip, it will be a colossal missed opportunity for a massively promising club.

Smith lets rip, but is it too late?

Dean Smith is usually relatively measured in his criticism of his Aston Villa players, but after their 2-0 defeat to Southampton on Saturday, he let rip.

"The players will be fairly embarrassed when they drive home," he said. "The thing that hurt me the most was a that lack of fight, particularly in the first half. I'm sitting here and I'm going to have to take full responsibility for that but that has to be the lowest of the low."

You get the feeling that he's been holding that rant in for a while. Villa's players have always had a tough task on their hands this season, but their performances recently haven't been good enough and Smith probably thought it was time to let them have it in public now that they're just one point above the relegation zone with 11 matches remaining.

The only question is this: do Villa's players have enough time to respond in the form of good results? Smith had better hope so.

Gomes's miracle return is most welcome for Everton

Most of the attention on Andre Gomes' appearance as a substitute against Arsenal was centred around his extraordinarily short recovery period. Rightly so, too: it was only 112 days ago that he was left screaming on the Goodison Park turf in a barnstorming game against Tottenham, his foot pointing in a direction that a foot should not point. Once upon a time that would've been a career-ender and at the time it looked like a season-ender, but he's back playing again before the end of February. Remarkable.

His half-hour cameo was incredibly important to Everton, given that their brilliant run under Carlo Ancelotti seems all the more remarkable considering it's been done without a central midfield to speak of. They've been terrific and were ultimately only just edged out by Arsenal on Sunday. They'll be so much better now with Gomes back in the fold.

Luckiest moment of the weekend

Sean Dyche is usually very keen to pipe up when marginal decisions go against his team and play the "little old Burnley, we never get anything" cart, but after Saturday's 3-0 win over Bournemouth, he seemed perfectly happy with VAR getting not one, but two decisions entirely wrong.

Dyche confusingly pointed out that the "handball," which saw Bournemouth's first goal disallowed, actually hit Phillip Billing's shoulder, only yo claim it was the correct decision. He also said the other officiating gaffe, which not only saw another goal disallowed but a penalty awarded to Burnley -- a penalty when again the ball hit Adan Smith's shoulder -- was "probably the toughest scenario to take" but that again "it was a penalty."

In most circumstances, a manager complaining that refereeing decisions cost their team points is a distraction from his own team's inadequacies, but on this occasion Eddie Howe was entirely justified in crying foul. That could cost his team dear come the end of the season.

The big boys of New Zealand fast bowling, Trent Boult and Tim Southee, did the business with the old ball to seal their 100th Test win, on the fourth morning at Basin Reserve. Twenty-eight of those wins have come in matches that Boult and Southee have played together. Their pin-point planning and execution made sure India's resistance on the third evening didn't count for much. Boult started the slide, and Southee burst through the opening to bowl India out for 191, setting New Zealand's batsmen a target of just nine runs. It ended India's seven-match winning streak, and New Zealand's run of three losses.

Full report to follow...

The Dallas Mavericks have filed a protest to the NBA league office over their 111-107 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night.

The protest focuses on a putback by Hawks power forward John Collins that gave Atlanta a four-point lead with 8.4 seconds remaining, essentially sealing the game. The officiating crew originally called goaltending on Trae Young's layup attempt. That call was overturned after a video review, but the referees ruled that it was an "inadvertent whistle" and counted Collins' basket.

The Mavs contend that the game should be replayed from the point of the incorrect goaltending call, according to sources. In that case, the game would resume with a jump ball with 9.7 seconds remaining and the Hawks leading by two points.

It is the second time this season that a team has protested a game. Commissioner Adam Silver declined the Houston Rockets' protest of a 135-133 double-overtime loss to the San Antonio Spurs, when a breakaway dunk by James Harden with 7:50 remaining in regulation wasn't counted because the officiating crew mistakenly believed the ball didn't go through the basket.

In its ruling, the NBA agreed with the Rockets' contention that referees misapplied the rules. However, Silver determined that the Rockets had sufficient time to overcome the error "during the remainder of the fourth quarter and two subsequent overtime periods and thus the extraordinary remedy of granting a game protest was not warranted."

The most recent example of teams replaying part of a game occurred on March 8, 2008, between the Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks. In their previous game on Dec. 19, the Hawks unofficially won 117-111 in overtime, but the official scorer incorrectly ruled that Shaquille O'Neal fouled out, so they had to replay the final 51.9 seconds when the two teams met next.

Following the Mavs' loss to the Hawks, Dallas owner Mark Cuban ranted about the refereeing on Twitter.

"So they call a goaltend," Cuban wrote. "They literally blew the whistle that it was a goaltend. There was a putback after the whistle. After review they said no goaltend but count the basket? WTF is that? That's NBA officiating."

In a follow-up tweet, Cuban said, "1 of the refs told us it was an inadvertent whistle, so it was not goaltending. Doesn't matter that people stopped. They thought the whistle came after the putback. So the basket counted. So what where they reviewing if it wasn't a goaltend?"

Crew chief Rodney Mott explained the call after the game.

"The ball was blocked and reviewed," Mott told a pool reporter. "The ball hit the rim, so it was deemed an inadvertent whistle because it was ruled a good block. By rule, it's an inadvertent whistle. It's Rule 2. Because [Collins] was in his shooting motion when my whistle blew, it's deemed a continuation, so therefore, the basket counts."

Cuban has been fined more than $2 million by the league over the years for his public criticism of officiating.

"Refs have bad games," he tweeted. "Crews have bad games. But this isn't a single game issue. This is the same s--- that has been going on for 20 years. Hire former refs who think they know how to hire, train and manage. Realize 2 years later they can't. Repeat."

Forward Markieff Morris has cleared waivers and will sign with the Los Angeles Lakers, league sources tell ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Lakers will sign Morris via their $1.75 million disabled player exception, the sources said.

Morris negotiated a buyout with the Detroit Pistons on Friday, leaving $4.3 million (the remainder of this season and his 2020-21 salary) on the table, according to reporting by ESPN's Bobby Marks.

The Lakers intend to waive DeMarcus Cousins to clear a roster spot for Morris, sources have told ESPN.

Morris, 31, appeared in 44 games for the Pistons this season, averaging 11 points and 3.9 rebounds per game. He's able to play both forward spots and is a good rebounder and defender. Over nine seasons, he averages 11.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 623 games.

The LA Clippers' Marcus Morris, Markieff's twin brother, said Saturday that he can see himself living with Markieff and carpooling to Staples Center if the Clippers and Lakers were to face each other in a seven-game playoff series.
