SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium - After driving from last to first at the Belgian Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso hailed McLarens recent progress, stating such a result would have been unthinkable even a few weeks ago.?Alonsos prospects of a point looked bleak ahead of the race, with a 60-place grid penalty for multiple engine penalties across the weekend consigning him to the back of the grid. A chaotic start and opening six laps helped Alonso move up the field and, when the race was red-flagged on lap 11 following Kevin Magnussens massive crash at Eau Rouge, he had moved up to fourth.After the restart, Alonso quickly lost a place to Lewis Hamilton but held station after that, only dropping from fifth in the closing stages as he was caught and passed by Sebastian Vettel and Sergio Perez. The Spaniard thinks the result shows the progress McLaren and Honda are making every week.The progress of the team in the last months is just amazing, Alonso said after the race. It would have been impossible to imagine this a couple of weeks or months ago. We are in the right direction. That is for sure.For sure to fight for P7 is still not what we want. But if we keep that momentum for next year, that will be great news. I am optimist for the future. And now we are coming to tracks that are less complicated. Except Monza, which is really a difficult track for us.Though happy to concede he was fortunate to keep himself out of trouble in a dramatic race, Alonso thinks it was about time his luck changed after a weekend littered with power unit troubles.Today everything went well, all the bad luck we had all weekend became good luck today, I managed to avoid all the accidents, we were lucky with the red flag, as could get a free pit stop and put new tyres on.To start 22nd and finish 7th is a great result and for us to fight with Williams and other teams is a bit new, especially in a circuit that didnt favor our car. Getting into Q3 with Jenson yesterday and getting into the points with me today shows the team has done a good job. Fake Yeezy Website .

BRISTOL, Tenn. -- Denny Hamlin, searching for anything to save his season, got a slight boost Friday with a pole-winning run at Bristol Motor Speedway. Hamlin turned a lap 128.969 mph around the 0.533-mile bullring to put his Toyota in the top starting spot for Saturday nights race. Although its his fourth pole of the season, its his first career pole at Bristol, where Hamlin is the defending race winner. But he heads into the race in search of anything positive: Hes 25th in points -- largely because he missed four races with a fractured vertebra suffered in a crash at California -- and entered Bristol stuck in a miserable nine-race slump in which he hasnt logged a finish higher than 18th. Although he wants to win a race, hell take any sort of minor victory. "Its by far the worst run, these nine races, in my career," he said. "A lot of it is our own doing. We got off track for a couple races because weve blown right front tires in consecutive weeks and we started changing our setups and we couldnt find anything that was very good with that. That burnt another three, four weeks. Weve had horsepower cut back. But were headed in the right direction. "At any moment, we can go from a 25th-place car to winning a pole and winning the race. Theres not a whole lot of teams that can say they can win at any moment, but I feel like we can." Hamlins lap was good enough to hold off five-time Bristol winner Kurt Busch, who qualified second with a lap of 128.770. Its the seventh front-row starting spot of the season for Busch, who is suddenly a hot commodity on the free-agent market with an offer to join Stewart-Haas Racing next season. Furniture Row Racing has made its offer to keep Busch, and the driver fired from Penske Racing at the end of 2011 now finds himself not only wading through multiple pprospects but vying for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.dddddddddddd Although hes winless on the year, consistency has him ranked ninth in points with three races remaining to set the Chase field. "The guys (at Furniture Row) know that this is the time now, and they are all shaking my hand saying Thanks and they are also saying Lets do this again next year," Busch said. "Im like, Heck, yeah. Im right there with you. We have to stay focused on the present as well as balance the future, and its a tough thing to do. You hope you can do it behind the scenes and its not out in the public. But today was a great reminder of how hard you have to work in this sport." Carl Edwards qualified third in a Ford and was followed by Toyota drivers Brian Vickers and Matt Kenseth as Toyota took three of the top five spots. For Vickers it was a big run in his first race as full-time driver of the No. 55 at Michael Waltrip Racing. Hired two weeks ago to take over that car next year, he got a jump on the job early when Stewart-Haas Racing asked to use Mark Martin for the rest of the year as Tony Stewarts injury replacement. MWR signed off because it gave them the chance to give Vickers a head start on next year with crew chief Rodney Childers -- only Childers informed his team Friday morning hes not coming back next year. Although he hasnt finalized a deal, hes apparently also going to SHR to crew chief Kevin Harvick next year. Vickers handled the news well. "No good team is built with one person," he said. "The good news is that weve got the opportunity to go find some great people for this team and were on the hunt now and theres some really good people out there. Were going to hopefully find the right one and still go race for a championship next year." ' ' '
