Scott McLaughlin and Jamie Whincup have urged Supercars organisers to run longer races in New Zealands sole meet for next year after a bland days racing at Pukekohe Park on Saturday.In the series penultimate meet, there wasnt a successful overtaking move by the top seven drivers across 70 laps except for moves off the grid.The reversion to four 100km races has negated the use of pit-stops, and therefore any strategy as the drivers championship comes down to the wire.Hot competition between the series-leading Red Bull duo of Shane van Gisbergen and Jamie Whincup gave the big crowd plenty to cheer for, but it was hard to shake the impression that New Zealand racing fans were being short-changed.McLaughlin said the cost of crossing the Tasman Sea explained the decision to run shorter races and leave fuel rigs back in Australia.I personally dont like it, the 23-year-old said.I understand why we do it, saving costs and fuel rigs and all that.A strategy always mixes it up but at the end of the day weve got to think about the teams as well.Whincup agreed with his young colleague.Pit stops are good and I think we should do that over here, he said.I think we should come over here a couple of times as well if we can - or change a tyre.Then came a less serious suggestion from the six-time champion.Maybe a jump over the back straight would be cool, he joked.In addition to the lack of strategy, other factors contributed to the lack of movement through the field.The fast Pukekohe circuit has few turns suitable for overtaking.More races also means fewer points on offer for each race and a smaller incentive to make risky moves with not as much on the line.If you really wanted to move forward you had to have a really big crack and be a little bit more desperate than you would be, Chaz Mostert said.Well see if anyone else does some moves tomorrow.Van Gisbergen was the chief beneficiary of the format, qualifying at the front and grabbing a first and second place to maintain a 148-point lead.McLaughlin said both drivers and fans enjoyed longer races at Pukekohe and everyone would benefit by switching back to at least one 200km drive.The races weve had across the years is a testament to the series, he said.When we come out here and back to the old way and how we had problems, its obvious why we changed.

SEATTLE -- In the final home game of his Washington career, Kevin King gave the Huskies the jolt they needed.The cornerbacks one-handed interception was so good, even the officials were asking where it ranked.The ref asked me that where that ranked. In my mind its like (No.) 5 or 6, but in reality its No. 1 for sure, King said.Kings second-quarter interception awakened the slumbering Huskies, and quarterback Jake Browning went on to throw for 338 yards and two touchdowns and No. 6 Washington routed Arizona State 44-18 on Saturday night to stay in the College Football Playoff mix.Washingtons victory sets up one of the biggest Apple Cups ever Friday in Pullman against Washington State with the winner claiming the Pac-12 North title and a spot in the conference title game. The two are tied on top of the North Division standings after Washington States 38-24 loss at Colorado on Saturday.Now its kind of like everyone hoped it would be, Washington coach Chris Petersen said.Washington (10-1, 7-1 Pac-12, No. 7 AP) will likely to move up in both the AP Top 25 and the CFP ranking after snapping a 10-game losing streak to the Sun Devils. But the Huskies appeared to let last weeks loss to Southern California linger early before a 21-point second quarter put Washington fully in control.Browning completed 27 of 44 passes with 12 of those going to John Ross for 95 yards, the fourth-most catches in school history. Myles Gaskin ran for 127 yards and a 45-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.Arizona State is kind of a curveball team in terms of making things hard on you, Petersen said. They certainly did in the first half, they sort of took us out of our rhythm.Washingtons defense dominated from the outset, holding Arizona State (5-6, 2-6) to 48 yards in the first half and just 84 through three quarters before reserves took over. Arizona States Manny Wilkins was 20 of 32 passing for 227 yards but was sacked six times. NKeal Harry had six catches for 114 yards, but the Sun Devils managed only 15 yards rushing. The 15 yards rushing were the fewest allowed by Washington since holding Arizona to (minus)-7 in 2006.Jay Jay Wilson had Arizona States only touchdowns, catching a pair of fourth-down TDs in the fourth quarter. And if the night needed to be any wackier, Washington linebacker Keishawn Bierria scooped up an onside kick attempt and returned it for a touchdown with 6:03 remaining.ddddddddddddrizona State lost its fifth straight and must beat Arizona to be bowl eligible.Weve had our fair share of obstacles and weve played some really good people, Arizona State coach Todd Graham said. This was the best team in the league that weve played to this point, no doubt.The Huskies slogged through the first 16 minutes before King jolted Washington awake. The senior cornerback intercepted Wilkins pass in the end zone, making a spectacular one-handed grab just three plays after Browning was intercepted for the second time in the first half.That was amazing. That is first-round material right there, Bierria said.Two plays after Kings interception, Browning hit Chico McClatcher on a screen pass and the speedy wide receiver raced 75 yards to start Washingtons 21-point second quarter. Browning added a 46-yard TD pass to Dante Pettis, and was 6 of 6 for 61 yards on the last drive of the first half. Lavon Coleman finished off the final yard for a 24-0 halftime lead.TURNING POINTIf there is such a thing in a 26-point win, it came in the opening moments of the second quarter. Browning was intercepted by Koron Crump, who returned the pick for a touchdown. But the TD was nullified by a blocking penalty at the 3 on Maurice Chandler. Instead of taking a 7-3 lead, the Sun Devils got nothing out of the turnover thanks to Kings interception.THE TAKEAWAYArizona State: The worst pass defense in the Pac-12 did get two interceptions but also gave up loads of yards. Browning was especially good in the second and third quarters, hitting receivers underneath the coverage and taking shots deep when available.Washington: The Huskies rediscovered their pass rush that had been missing the previous four weeks. Washington had four sacks in the first half, after having four sacks in the previous four games combined. Washington found success blitzing safeties Budda Baker and Ezekiel Turner. The Huskies finished with six sacks.INJURIESArizona State played without starting safety Marcus Ball and defensive lineman Jalen Bates. Washington was without safety Jojo McIntosh.UP NEXTArizona State: The Sun Devils travel to Tucson to face Arizona on Friday night.Washington: The Huskies close the regular season Friday at rival Washington State.
