| Staff Report, NASCAR Wire ServiceDistributed by The Sports XchangeIts been 59 races since a full-time Richard Childress Racing NASCAR XFINITY Series driver won a race.The last time a full-time RCR wheelman celebrated in Victory Lane was when Brendan Gaughan triumphed at Kentucky on Sept. 20, 2014, leading a team sweep of the top-three positions. Brian Scott took second, while Ty Dillon finished third.Since Gaughans triumph, RCR full-timers have logged five runner-ups. Scott has been replaced in the stable by Sunoco Rookie Brandon Jones, while Gaughan and Dillon still remain. They will try to earn a win in Saturdays Mid-Ohio Challenge at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course (3:30 p.m. ET on USA) -- the second of three road-course races this month.Gaughan visited Victory Lane turning left and right at Road America in 2014, while Dillon placed third at Mid-Ohio last year.At Mid-Ohio you have to be very precise, said Gaughan, who finished eighth in last weekends road course race at Watkins Glen. You must know what you are doing to get into the corners with proper technique, or there are big penalties. You must be technical to hit the apex of turns well and get into the braking zones in order to carry speed. I love it. It is true road racing.Dillon placed 11th at Watkins Glen last Saturday and hopes to improve this weekend.I think we had some success (at Mid-Ohio last year) because we qualified well (third) and were able to run up front for a majority of the race, Dillon said. Track position is so important at road course races because it effects pit and race strategy. It will be important to qualify again within the top five, make no mistakes on pit road and maybe have a little luck on your side.The 19-year-old Jones has limited experience on road courses with only two NASCAR XFINITY Series starts on them. He produced a 29th-place finish at Mid-Ohio in the XFINITY Series last year, but looked improved with a 13th-place output at Watkins Glen last weekend.There is a great environment at Mid-Ohio, Jones said. I was pretty happy to run there last year with RCR in the XFINITY Series car. It was kind of up-and-down day. We would run inside the top 10, then fell back a little bit at the end. The biggest thing I took away from that experience was just making sure to stay on the racetrack. Every once in a while you would dip off and go off the racing surface, so it is important to limit those incidents.Although they havent won yet, RCRs regulars have consistently registered strong finishes, putting them right in the middle of the NASCAR XFINITY Series Chase hunt. Dillon, Gaughan and Jones rank fourth, sixth and eighth, respectively, on the 12-man Chase Grid and should comfortably make it into the series playoffs when they start at Kentucky in six races. If one of the three can navigate the three-round, seven-race playoff, he would capture RCR its fifth NASCAR XFINITY Series driver championship.Race Weekend PreviewNASCAR XFINITY SeriesRace: Mid-Ohio ChallengePlace: Mid-Ohio Sports Car CourseDate and Time: Saturday, Aug. 13 at 3:30 p.m. ETTune-in: USA, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR RadioDistance: 169.35 miles (75 laps)What to Watch For: Erik Jones, who just announced he will run a full schedule for Furniture Row Racing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series next year, looks to add to his series-leading three wins. ...

Match factsDecember 15-19, 2016 Start time 1300 local (0300 GMT)Big PictureA day-night Test for Brisbane has been unveiled in order to draw greater crowds to the Gabba, but the combination of the pink ball, floodlights and the grounds often lively pitch will make for a high octane contest between two sides well stocked with speed. Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood have both prospered here in the past, the latter notably putting on a sublime display on debut against India to help deliver a victory in Steven Smiths first match as Australian captain. Starc, meanwhile, has been shifting up through the gears since he was rushed back from injury against South Africa, and appears to be finding his very best rhythm in time for Brisbane.Pakistan, of course, have a surfeit of pacemen capable of making the ball bend, in Wahab Riaz and Mohammad Amir a left-arm combination duo capable of reducing any batting order to ruins. Dangerous, too, will be the wristspin of Yasir Shah, on a ground Shane Warne has always professed to love, though Australias batsmen have historically attacked visiting spin bowlers with significant success in Brisbane - just ask Graeme Swann. Critical to the visitors chances of unseating the Australians at a ground they feel more at home at than any other will be the holding of catches - scores went down during the recent series loss in New Zealand, with the fielding coach Steve Rixon trying to rectify that in Australia.While the hosts have plenty of advantages, not least greater experience against the pink ball, it should not be forgotten that Australias confidence is only in the very early stages of restoration, following five consecutive defeats that culminated in the Hobart humiliation. Pakistan, by contrast, were humbled across the Tasman but have a far sturdier record behind them earlier in the year - the share of a series in England to briefly claim the world No. 1 ranking was a remarkable achievement. In what shapes to be one of the captain Misbah-ul-Haqs final series, a victory in Australia would be the sweetest icing on his cake. To start that quest at the Gabba in conditions that will suit his pacemen but challenge his batsmen will turn to be either a blessing or curseForm guide(last five completed matches, most recent first) ? Australia: WLLLL Pakistan: LLLWWIn the spotlightSo far this summer, Usman Khawaja has batted with plenty of determination to succeed, cutting down on some of the more flamboyant strokeplay he offered up last season to become a senior member of the Australian top order. His sound judgment of line will be critical in Brisbane, a ground he knows well as captain of Queensland. It will be up to him, Matt Renshaaw and David Warner to ward off Pakistans considerable new ball threat.dddddddddddd.Before England, before the no-ball, before the prison sentence and the exile from the game, Mohammad Amir came to Australia as a teenager on Pakistans last Test series visit and impressed all with his speed, swing and stamina. Older and wiser, he still has the ability to swing the ball at high pace, and has the potential to cause chaos in the Australian batting order if he gets it right - and if Pakistan are able to hold onto their catches.Teams newsAustralia are set to take an unchanged team into the Gabba Test following their victory, also with the pink ball, over South Africa in Adelaide.Australia (probable) 1 Matt Renshaw, 2 David Warner, 3 Usman Khawaja, 4 Steven Smith (capt), 5 Peter Handscomb, 6 Nic Maddinson, 7 Matthew Wade (wk), 8 Mitchell Starc, 9 Josh Hazlewood, 10 Nathan Lyon, 11 Jackson BirdMisbah-ul-Haq and Yasir Shah were both missing from Pakistans previous Test XI against New Zealand, but both are expected to resume their customary positions in Brisbane.Pakistan (probable) 1 Sami Aslam, 2 Azhar Ali, 3 Babar Azam, 4 Younis Khan, 5 Misbah-ul-Haq (capt), 6 Asad Shafiq, 7 Sarfraz Ahmed (wk), 8 Wahab Riaz, 9 Yasir Shah, 10 Mohammad Amir, 11 Rahat AliPitch and conditionsKevin Mitchell Jnr, the Gabba curator, is shaving the grass on the pitch down to 2mm - considerably shorter than for the Adelaide day-night Test and a pretty standard level for any Gabba Test. Pretty well standard, along the same lines as normal, he said. Weve got a reasonable amount of grass cover on the wicket so we think thats going to play the same as a normal day Test.The surface will nonetheless be hard and bouncy with some lateral movement on offer for the pacemen early on. The unknown is how it will play at night - the pink ball can be expected to swing. The weather forecast is fine initially with the chance of some rain over the weekend.Stats and triviaPakistan have never beaten Australia in Brisbane, losing three times and drawing onceThe most recent meeting between the sides was in the first Test of the 1999 series. Australia won by 10 wickets in what was Adam Gilchrists debut matchPakistan drew series in Australia in 1976-77 and 1978-79 but have lost every series since - seven in allQuotesFor us the key is adapting to conditions, and if we can adapt to conditions quick enough well be fine. I constantly remind the players if we can be getting 270, 280, 300, were in the game because weve got the ability to take 20 wickets.
