SONOMA, Calif. Roman Josi Jersey . -- Will Power thought the world was ending when an earthquake shook him out of bed. A few hours later at Sonoma Raceway, the sleep-deprived driver plummeted from the pole to 20th place before fighting back for a finish that actually increased his IndyCar points lead. Scott Dixon barely noticed the quake, and he calmly racked up another milestone victory while Power frantically stayed in position to take Dixons place as series champion next weekend. Dixon surged ahead with three laps left at Sonoma on Sunday, while Power recovered from a mid-race spin to finish 10th heading to the season finale. Dixon is out of the race to defend his 2013 title after a poor start to the season, but he has won two of IndyCars last three races. Unlike most of his competitors, he wasnt bothered by the 6.0 earthquake that caused extensive damage in the cities around the raceway, including Napa. "I think I caught the last maybe five or 10 seconds," Dixon said. "People were screaming, but I just went back to bed." Dixon grabbed his second Sonoma victory and his 35th win overall after leader Graham Rahal was forced to pit for gas with four laps left. Dixon slid inside Mike Conway for the lead and held on for Target Chip Ganassi Racing, moving him into a fifth-place tie with Bobby Unser for career victories on the circuit. Rahal and Conway both tried to push to the finish on low fuel, but neither made it. Ryan Hunter-Reay finished second, and Takuma Sato was fourth. "We know our team finishes strong, but if we could have started the season on the map, we could have done a lot better," Dixon said. "For me, its been one of the worst seasons Ive had." Although Dixon won, Power was under the IndyCar spotlight. The Australian boosted his lead over teammate Helio Castroneves to 51 points heading to the double-points finale at Fontana on Saturday. Castroneves struggled to an 18th-place finish at Sonoma, and Simon Pagenaud is 81 points back in third after a third-place showing on a wild day in wine country. Power crossed the finish line ninth after a ferocious last-lap push past Justin Wilson, culminating in a thrilling three-wide sprint with Sebastien Bourdais. But IndyCar recorded Wilson in ninth and Power in 10th because of a local yellow flag for the slowing car of Conway, who crawled across the line. The finish capped a tumultuous day for Power, who started on the pole in his attempt to win at Sonoma for the fourth time in five years. "That was a good recovery there," Power said. "We had such a fast car, but thats the way IndyCar racing goes. We maintained the points lead, and were going to Fontana. Well see what we can do, man." Sonoma Raceway was unaffected by the earthquake that hit about 10 hours before the race began. The quake left several drivers alarmed, but unharmed -- although Team Penskes hotel was evacuated, and James Hinchcliffe slept a few hours in his car. Castroneves race was miserable from the opening lap when he sustained damage to a front wing in a multicar collision, forcing him to pit under green for repairs. Power had a huge early lead, but Dixon beat Power out of the pits with a nifty move on the 37th lap. Power then spun himself on cold tires on the first lap after a restart, barely avoiding a significant wreck and even falling behind Castroneves. Power struggled until his tires were replaced, but he kept pushing and gained enough ground to increase the 40-point lead he took into Sonoma over Castroneves. Dixon, who hadnt won at Sonoma since 2007, appreciated the history of catching an open-wheel great in career victories. Checking in from his vacation home in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, the 80-year-old Unser had kind words for the New Zealander. "Scott is a very, very good driver, and records are made to be broken," Unser said. "Hes truly a great driver and drives with a lot of vigour. At his young age, I am sure hell get another win or lots to pass our 35 IndyCar wins we now share together." Samuel Girard Jersey . "I just think what it does for everybody in life is real simple," said Babcock early on Friday afternoon. "You dont give in. You just keep on keeping on. Is it going to go your way every time? No. But you choose your attitude and how you perform and how hard you dig in." Nearly four years to the day of the 2010 gold medal match in Vancouver, his team dug in with its best effort of these Olympics, snuffing out the high-powered Americans for another opportunity at gold. Colton Sissons Jersey . -- The Sacramento Kings have claimed forward Travis Outlaw off waivers under the NBAs new amnesty provision, filling out the frontcourt with another veteran. http://www.nhlpredatorshockeystore.com/cody-mcleod-jersey/ .Y. -- The New York Islanders were merely content with a lopsided victory.Ottawa, ON (SportsNetwork.com) - Erik Karlsson scored twice to give the Ottawa Senators a 4-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday. Mike Hoffman posted a goal and an assist and Mika Zibanejad also lit the lamp for the Senators, who had lost three of four coming into the game. Craig Anderson made 37 saves in the win. James van Riemsdyk, Nazem Kadri and David Clarkson scored for the Maple Leafs, who have fallen in each of their last six outings. James Reimer gave up all four goals on 26 shots in the loss. Ottawa got on the board at 2:02 of the first as Hoffmans heavy wrister from the slot found the right corner, shortly after Phil Kessel missed on a breakaway. It was a 2-0 game at 11:53 of the first as a 3-on-1 was finished off when Karlsson and Hoffman passed back-and-forth until Karlssons one-timer from the left wing went into the net. The Senators took a 3-0 lead into the first intermission as Zibanejads one- timer from the left side found the back of the net with 19.8 seconds left in the framee. Dante Fabbro Jersey. Toronto posted the only goal of the second period to get on the board, as Cody Fransons shot from the right point was tipped and was bouncing on net before Clarkson swept it in at 13:55. The Leafs made it a one-goal game at 2:36 of the third as Kadris shot from the left point went in for a power-play goal. Karlsson, though, gave his team some breathing room when his one-timer went in with 4:40 to play for a 4-2 lead. That goal proved fortunate, as the Leafs got within one with 1:23 left after Kessels shot from the right wing was stopped and van Riemsdyk buried it from the left wing for his 20th of the season. Toronto got Reimer out of the net for an extra attacker, but was unable to notch the equalizer before time ran out. Game Notes Ottawa hosts Dallas next Thursday ...
