That's re- ally a true test of these cars. We know' we have the fastest single car." . For Johnson. Sunday's press conference was just one of numerous positive moments he has had at racetracks over the past few Daytona winner years, On the other hand, two-tim- e Waltrip vividly recalled the sad, emotional moments when he faced the media a year ago .after .his team was discovered cheating and how he struggled throughout the season, at one point failing to qualify for 10 straight races. "I'm still very emotional, but for obviously very drastically different reasons." Waltrip said. "Now I'm in here a year later and I'm the opposite; I'm happy. I still want to cry, but I'm happy. "We've survived and we've been able to get our foundations steadied up. During the time when we were getting our business squared away, our cars were getting better. I think that we are building-foundation here for a really solid year." David Reutimann. Waltrip's teammate and employee, qualified third, meaning he, too,. will be in the big race for sure.

Davis Cup quar- terfinal bracket: At London, Russia took advantage of an ailing Novak Djokovic to reach the quarterfinals of the Davis Cup on Sunday, when Germany and Sweden also advanced. The United States, Argentina, the Czech Republic, Spain and France all reached the quarterfinals on Saturday. The Russians, who lost to the U.S. in last year's final, earned their decisive point in the 2 win over Serbia when Djokovic withdrew from the first reverse singles match despite leading Nikolay Davydenko "I decided to stop because I don't want to risk my health," the Australian Open champion said. "I wanted to fight, I tried to play, but in the end I was aware of the fact that I am very dizzy and I have a lack of energy. I just didn't want to continue because of the risk I had."

It was the first World Cup victory for the racers, who both finished in 1 minute, 21.06 seconds on the Kandahar Banchetta course. American Lindsey Vonn, Saturday's downhill winner, finished 16th and dropped into a tie for the overall World Cup lead with Austrian Nicole Hosp, who placed 14th. "There was a big headwind when Nikky and I came down," Vonn said. Julia Mancuso was the top U.S. finisher in eighth place. She was faster than the winners through the first interval but lost time on the bottom as the course shifted over to the other face of the Banchetta mountain and into the wind. Germany's Maria Riesch finished third, 0.24 off the winning time, to maintain her lead in the super-standings. "Maybe it wasn't a perfect run, but it wasn't so easy today for the later numbers," Riesch said. "Of the top seven racers, nobody got on the podium except for me. I didn't feel any wind when I went, but the other girls said they did." Austrian Maria Holaus fell suddenly and hit the ground hard at full speed. She was airlifted by helicopter to a hospital in nearby Turin with a head injury, race organizers said, adding that she did not lose consciousness. Fraenzi Aufdenblatten and Emily Brydon also fell, although they did not appear to have major j singles.

The Austrian converted his first break point at in the second and broke Bob Bryan again at 3 to win the set. .: Both players held serve in the final set until when Bryan broke at love.
