Johnson won the Nextel All-Star Challenge and its $1 million prize Saturday night, his seventh victory -at the suburban Charlotte track. -chief Chad Knaus radioed. "This is your house!" Indeed it is. Johnson, who also won the All-Star race in 2003, has won three-straight Coca-Cola 600s and will try to make it four in a row next Sunday night. He's also won the past four points races at Lowe's.

"When the money's on the line, this race team steps up and we get it done," Johnson said. This one capped a lucrative week for Johnson, the Nextel Cup points leader, who signed a three-year contract extension that keeps him at Hendrick Motorsports through 2010. That's bad news for the competition, especially when Johnson is racing at Lowe's. "He's just really, very comfortable here and Chad really pays attention to detail," said teammate Jeff Gordon, who finished third. "That's just a deadly combination to try to beat.

That's what we are all chasing right now." Kevin Harvick, who won the second segment of the event, took only two tires on the final pit stops while everyone else took four. It was a risky gamble, and Johnson wasted no time passing him for the lead when the final 20-lap sprint began. 275 275 276 276 276 276 276 276 276 277 277 277 278 278 278 278 278 279 279 279 279 279 279 279 279 279 279 279 280 280 280 280 280 280 280 280 281 283 283 283 284 284 284 285 285 Joe Ogilvie, $28,200 a-u-oo-oo Wes Short, $28,200 70-68-70-69 Kenny Perry, $28,200 66-70-70-71 Mike Weir, $23,400 66-73-72-67 Billy Mayfair. $23,400 72-69-70-67 Steve Lowery, $23,400 70-70-69-69 Daniel Chopra, $23,400 70-64-72-72 Henrik Bjornstad, $23,400 69-64-69-76 Duffy Waldorf, $15,818.19 72-69-72-66 Dudley Hart, $15,818.19 71-70-71-67 J.L Lewis. $15,818.18 69-69-73-68 Robert Gamez, $15,818.18 67-71-73-68 Camilo Villegas, $15,818.18 68-69-73-69 Scott McCarron, $15,818.18 70-70-70-69 Rich Beem, $15,818.18 69-70-70-70 Justin Rose, $15,818.18 68-69-71-71 John Senden, $15,818.18 69-70-69-71 Brian Bateman, $15,818.18 72-68-67-72 Fred Funk, $15.818.

With him in the lineup and contributing 60 points in 60 games, they were 42-14-4. After he got injured March 4 in Pittsburgh, Carolina finished 10-8-4 in the final 22 games. "I think shortly after that we became a little bit more inconsistent with Laviolette said. "I am not sure if that was due to complacency on some nights or the fact that one of our top players is now missing from the lineup." The devastating injury came when Cole was driven headfirst into the boards by Pittsburgh's Brooks Orpik.

A few weeks later, Orpik tried to reach Cole through Mark Recchi, a former teammate with the Penguins who was traded to Carolina. It came at a particularly bad time for Cole. He recently had traded in a simple neck collar for a large, cumbersome brace in hopes of avoiding surgery, and he really wasn't in the mood for an apology. RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) It was a regular practice on an off day during the playoffs, and not a very strenuous one at that Still, the ice time was pretty special to Erik Cole.

Cole won't be sure until he has a CT scan in the upcoming week to check his progress. "I am hopeful that the next CT scan looks good and that both fractures are fully healed or close to being fully healed," he said Sunday. "If they are, we'll sit down with the doctors and talk about what the options are, what the repercussions are, sit down withmy wife andfigure it out."

Before Babe, the career home-run record was 138, held by 1880s-90s first baseman Roger Connor. Ruth broke that in 1920, his first season as a full-time outfielder. (He pitched 133 irinings in 1919). He played his last game on May 30, 1935, about a week after hitting -No. 714 for the Boston Braves.

(He was hitting .181 with six homers and 12 RBI to that point). At the end of -the 1935 season, no active player was within336homersofRuth. Teammate Lou Gehrig finished the 1935 season with 378 of his 493 homers. Neither Jimmie Foxx nor Mel Ott, both of whom would finish with more than 500, had hit 300 homers yet Bonds is comfortably ahead of the next highest active slugger, but far behind the Ruthian standard. After Sunday's games, Cincinnati's Ken Griffey had 540, 174 behind Bonds.

Sammy Sosa and Rafael Palmeiro were 120 and 139 behind Bonds, re-spectively, at the end of last season, but both are out of the game now. mate of Aaron's who was on deck when he hit No. 715, agrees. "Really, Babe's record is not even the issue any more. It's Hank's record," he says.

"But that shows you who everybody's king still is, or else they wouldn't even be talking about Babe's record." Baker says the average fan probably knows the number 714 and its significance more than 755. Babe is baseball It's unlikely there would be as much attention given to Bonds this spring if the name next to 714 were Willie Mays or Frank Robinson or Harmon Killebrew. When you pass the Babe in anything, you have to stop to tip the cap. "The persona of Babe Ruth still stays with us down through the decades," says author Harvey Frommer, who has written 38 sports books and is working on one on the 1927 Yankees. "He is baseball He'll always be baseball" Notes Alou, who spoke in April "I often tell people, Tm 70, going to be 71 next month (he turned 71 on May 12), andIgrewupwimme)3abeRumthing, even in the Dominican (Republic)."
