He also donated a jersey he wore during the 1996 NBA Finals to the museums collection.I am grateful for the opportunity to support this museum, Jordan said in a statement. I also am indebted to the historic contributions of community leaders and athletes such as Jesse Owens, whose talent, commitment and perseverance broke racial barriers and laid the groundwork for the successful careers of so many African Americans in athletics and beyond.Museum Director Lonnie Bunch said the gift will aid the museums vision of exploring how black athletes changed sports and changed American society.We are extremely grateful to Michael Jordan for his game-changing support, Bunch said in a statement. His gift will enable our visitors to explore how sports were used to break barriers as a way to gain full participation in American society.Last month Jordan spoke out on racial tensions in America in hopes of easing conflicts between blacks and law enforcement.The NBA great and Charlotte Hornets owner also announced he was giving $1 million to the Institute for Community-Police Relations and another $1 million to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.

LOUDON, N.H. -- Tony Stewart left New Hampshire Motor Speedway and couldnt be happier with his crew Sunday afternoon.One of the other Stewart-Haas Racing drivers, though, left far from happy.Stewart often talks about chemistry with his team, especially new crew chief Mike Bugarewicz. That chemistry helped lead him to a second-place finish in the New Hampshire 301.Kevin Harvick finished fourth, and he might have finished as high -- or higher -- than Stewart if he hadnt lost several positions on two pit stops during the race.Harvick fell back to 11th twice in a race that didnt have many early cautions, and he never could consistently get back among the top three cars.One of the stops was slow because of a mechanical failure of an air gun, while the other stop was more a lack of execution.Im disgusted, to tell you the truth, Harvick said. Its the same thing every week. We just make mistake after mistake, and until we clean that up we dont have a chance to win races, putting ourselves in a hole every time we make a mistake.It sucks because the cars are plenty fast, but we are just not executing.Harvick said a decision on how to deal with the lack of performance by the pit crew would have to come from management.?Pit crews usually dont come under the authority of the crew chief -- theyre typically assigned to a team by the organizations competition department.There is no way we can win a championship like this unless they straighten some of this stuff out, Harvick said.While Harvick was frustrated, his boss was pumped after another solid run. Stewart has four top-seven finishes in the past five Sprint Cup races, with a win at Sonoma and a second at New Hampshire being the highlights.At New Hampshire, Stewart was 18th just 75 laps into the race. While Harvick had trouble making his way through the field, Stewart was able to gradually get to the front over the final half of the event.He was 10th with 60 laps remaining, and thanks to restarting on the outside on most occasions and taking advantage of others mistakes, he ended up second.In recent years, Stewart would rarely improve if he struggled early. Now it seems to be a weekly occurrence that he gets better throughout a race.Im working with a different crew chief this year, and it seems like we are really getting on some things that are working for us, Stewart said. Its just chemistry. Thats what its always been in this sport, and when you get a combination thats working, youve got to keep building off of that.Every crew chief Ive had has been a good crew chief, but for some reeason we havent been able with the last two to get that magic weve been looking for.dddddddddddd Maybe we finally hit on the equation this time.While there was a time when it appeared Stewart might not even make it into the top 30 in points after missing the first eight races because of a broken back, Stewart now has a 67-point cushion on 30th and solidly has secured his Chase spot thanks to the Sonoma win.Everything that you want is there, all the ingredients are there, and weve just got to finish putting it all together, Stewart said. Im really, really proud where this [No. 14] team is right now.Xfinity Series: More heats coming upThe final heat race of the season for the Xfinity drivers comes this week at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.The heats will be 20 laps and the main event 60 laps around the 2.5-mile track.The heat races have not been the most exciting parts of Xfinity events, but they have allowed teams to work on their cars before the main events and help make those more competitive. The heat races at Indy could be mundane 20-car affairs, but the potential is there to have another race in which the main event has urgency and parity among the drivers and the cars.Well be able to learn something, for sure, Joe Gibbs Racing driver Erik Jones said about the heats. Thats a long enough run at Indy to really feel out your car some and make some adjustments.Well go into it with the same mentality that we did the last three and work on our stuff and get it better and get it the best we can.Jones enters Indy coming off a second-place finish at New Hampshire in a race won by his teammate Kyle Busch.Camping World Truck Series: Kyle Larson at EldoraThere will be only one Sprint Cup driver taking to the dirt in the Camping World Truck Series race Wednesday at Eldora Speedway in New Weston, Ohio.Kyle Larson, who nearly won the race two years ago, has a ride with GMS Racing.Plenty of drivers with dirt late-model experience will be in the race, including Bobby Pierce, who finished second in the event last year.And there is one other driver with a passion for dirt racing who should definitely excite fans -- Ken Schrader is in a Truck owned by Carlos Contreras.One thing different this year is the feature event will have segments that get longer throughout the race. Instead of a race of segments with 60 laps, 50 laps and then 40 laps, the Eldora race will have segments of 40 laps, 50 laps and then 60 laps. ' ' '
