NASCAR-NATIONWIDE

GLADEVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Carl Edwards dominated the NASCAR

Nationwide Series race Saturday night at Nashville Superspeedway.

Edwards' teammate at Roush Fenway Racing, Ricky Stenhouse

Junior, finished second and Mike Dillon was third.

Edwards, who leads the Sprint Cup points race over Jimmie

Johnson, was leading when the first caution came out on lap 82 for

debris. The next lap he entered the pits and was penalized for

speeding and NASCAR officials ordered him to the rear of the

longest line of cars for the restart.

Edwards worked his way back through the field and passed Dillon

on lap 120 for the lead. On the pass the air from Edwards' car

caused Dillon to wiggle wildly in turn four.

WNBA ALL-STAR GAME

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- There were the record number of first-time

WNBA All-Stars, and a halftime ceremony honoring the best players

in WNBA history. Indiana Fever guard Katie Douglas didn't fit into

either category.

So she made her mark another way.

The four-time All-Star capped one of the closest WNBA midseason

showcases ever by hitting the go-ahead 3-pointer with 56.7 seconds

left, and the Eastern Conference hung on for just its third

All-Star game victory over the West, 118-to-113 on Saturday.

Douglas finished with 15 points and helped the East win just its

third All-Star game in 10 tries -- but also third in the last four.

Connecticut Sun center Tina Charles scored 15, and headlined a

record group of 10 players who made their All-Star debuts in this

year's game.

Swin Cash led the West with 21 points and 12 rebounds and was

named MVP for the second time. Former WNBA star Lisa Leslie is the

only other player with multiple All-Star MVP awards.
