Supercars young gun Chaz Mostert hopes a Bathurst 1000 appeal controversy leads to more simplified racing rules, saying a lack of clarification had made drivers hold back.Holden star Jamie Whincups unsuccessful appeal against a penalty that cost him a fifth Great Race win may have rubbed a lot of drivers the wrong way.But Fords Mostert believed the unpopular protest may finally help clear the air on what many drivers believed was the confusing issue of redressing.The issue was the key to Whincups appeal against a 15 second time penalty for careless driving after making contact with Volvos Scott McLaughlin late in October 9s Great Race.Whincup had hoped to prove at the Supercars National Court of Appeal in Melbourne on Tuesday night that he had redressed or fallen back behind McLaughlin in order to avoid a penalty after making contact with the Volvo driver while attempting to pass on lap 150.It took just 50 minutes for the Supercars National Court of Appeal to dismiss Whincups appeal.Still, Mostert believed the controversial court hearing could help clear up redressing by this weekends next Supercars round, the Gold Coast 600.It would be good to see what comes out of the appeal - the drivers need to understand redressing a bit more, Mostert said.When can you redress and avoid a penalty?What constitutes a 15 second penalty? The rules arent that clear on it.Its just a bit foggy, hard to understand.Mostert claimed the redressing issue had made drivers tentative on the track this year.It makes us feel like we cant race and make mistakes - its a bit disconcerting, he said.Sometimes the rules hold us back.Its bad it happened in our biggest race of the year but its probably good that it happened if it can help clarify the rules.Hopefully we can get some clarification before the Gold Coast event.Whincups Red Bull Racing team have a week to decide whether to take their case to the FIA International Court of Appeal.Hydro Flask 21 Oz Cheap . -- If this was Aaron Gordons final home game at Arizona, and it almost certainly was, then he went out in style.

LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse.MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Vikings right tackle Phil Loadholt has decided to retire from the NFL after seven seasons, halting his comeback from injury because of a recent setback.The Vikings placed Loadholt on the reserve/retired list Monday, four days before the teams first practice of training camp.Loadholt, a second-round draft pick by the Vikings out of Oklahoma in 2009, missed the 2015 season because of a torn Achilles tendon on his left foot. He also missed the last five games of the 2014 season because of a torn pectoral muscle.Loadholt took a pay cut to return for the final year of his contract and went through spring workouts and minicamp without obvious problem, but he said Monday that he suffered a left leg injury in the past few weeks that steered him toward the end of his career.I just figured that my body was telling me that it was time for me to go ahead and transition out of the game, Loadholt said, adding: Basically I couldnt go into training camp with it like that.Prior to those injuries, the 6-foot-8, 345-pound Loadholt sat out only twice over the first 93 games of his career including the playoffs. He was a starter from his rookie year on. His 89 regular-season starts are ninth in Vikings history for an offensive tackle.Speaking on a conference call with reporters, Loadholt fondly recalled the 2009 season when the Vikings advanced to the NFC championship game behind quarterback Brett Favre and 2012 when Adrian Peterson came within 9 yards of breaking the leagues all-time single-season rushing record.Ill miss that crowd roar when Adrian breaks an 80-yard runn, Loadholt said, adding: When you feel him running up your back and you flatten somebody and you just see them looking at Adrians feet going down, thats always the best memories right there.ddddddddddddow a full-time family man and a former NFL player, Loadholt said he wasnt sure how hed spend his time, other than to begin by taking his children to Minnesota State University in Mankato to watch his friends practice and eat a few blocks away at training camp fixture Jakes Stadium Pizza. Hed like to stay involved in the sport, specifically to encourage and mentor youth learning to play.This will be the first fall in about 23 years that Im not getting ready for a season so its going to be rough, Loadholt said. I mean, its been rough the last couple years, but Im at peace with my decision and I know that Id rather be out there at 100 percent than being not healthy and ready to roll.Loadholt was facing an uphill fight to make the team, given his age, his recent health trouble and the depth chart. Newcomer Andre Smith and incumbent T.J. Clemmings will compete for the starting spot at right tackle.Vikings right guard Brandon Fusco, who lined up next to Loadholt for three seasons, declared this on Twitter a sad day in posting his well wishes for a now-former teammate.Phil is my guy. Great football player but (an) even better person. Gonna miss the big homie, Fusco tweeted.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
