BROOKLYN, Mich. -- During the last couple laps of his first Sprint Cup victory, Kyle Larson was emotional.I think with two to go, I was starting to get choked up, he said. We worked really, really hard to get a win, and just havent done it. Finally all the hard work by everybody, hundreds of people at our race shop, people who have got me through to the Cup Series, it was all paying off.Larson took the lead on a restart with nine laps remaining and held off Chase Elliott at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday in a duel between two of NASCARs up-and-coming standouts. Elliott had a comfortable lead before a tire problem on Michael Annetts car brought out the yellow flag. Larson had the better restart and went on to win by 1.48 seconds.Brad Keselowski finished third.Larsons victory in his No. 42 Chevrolet snapped a 99-race losing streak for Chip Ganassi Racing dating to Jamie McMurrays victory at Talladega in 2013.Larson secured a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup with two races left in the regular season. Elliott remains winless, but is in solid shape to make the Chase field on points if need be.It was the 99th career start for the 24-year-old Larson, who had 14 top-five finishes before Sunday but hadnt won at the Cup level. The 20-year-old Elliott is winless in 29 starts, but this was an impressive showing for him after eight consecutive races outside the top 10.Elliott finished second at Michigan in June as well, losing to Joey Logano.Thats a couple races in a row in just a few short months here at this place we had a really good car, had an opportunity, Elliott said. Thats one thing I try really hard to do is make the most of opportunities when theyre presented. Obviously I didnt do a very good job of that here both trips.Elliott led by 2.86 seconds with 28 laps to go Sunday, and it looked as if Larsons chance to catch him had been derailed when he lost ground passing a lapped car. The caution gave him another shot, though, and he took advantage.We both spun our tires really bad, and the No. 2 (Keselowski) pushed me really good, Larson said. He could have probably pulled underneath me and went by, but he stayed with me and got me the lead.There were only four cautions in the 200-lap, 400-mile race. Larson led a race-high 41 laps. Logano, the pole winner, finished 10th.Chris Buescher, who has a victory but still needs to stay in the top 30 in points to make the Chase, finished 35th after some early engine trouble. Buescher is seven points ahead of David Ragan for 30th place on the season.Alex Bowman, filling in for Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the No. 88 car, had a problem with the ignition system and finished 30th.Twelve drivers have wrapped up Chase berths. Tony Stewart, who has a victory, has clinched a top-30 finish in points to secure his spot.Bueschers situation is still uncertain, so there could end up being as many as four drivers making it in on points. Elliott is 11th in the standings, the top driver with no victories.WHOS HOT: Points leader Kevin Harvick followed up his win at Bristol with a fifth-place showing at Michigan. He has 11 top-five finishes in 24 starts this year.WHOS NOT: It was another rough day for Kyle Busch at Michigan. Hed finished out of the top 30 in five of his previous six races at the track, and he was no factor Sunday after an early spin, although he did recover well enough to come in 19th.We actually had a pretty fast car. We ran some really fast laps, but we just got in a bad spot there on the restart and got sucked around and wore off part of our splitter, crew chief Adam Stevens said. Even after that we were one of the probably five or six quickest cars on the race track and just whenever we got in the lucky-dog spot we ran there for I cant tell you how many laps and just didnt get a caution.INSPECTION: Keselowskis No. 2 Ford failed post-race laser inspection.SKID: Hendrick Motorsports is winless in 19 races after Elliott fell short, but there were some positive signs for the team. At the midway point, Hendrick cars were 1-2, with Jimmie Johnson leading Elliott at the front. Kasey Kahne was in fifth at that point.Johnson ended up sixth, and Kahne finished 14th. Bowman was the only driver for Hendrick who finished way behind.This is Hendricks longest losing streak since a 22-race dry spell from 1993 into 1994.UP NEXT: Darlington Raceway, Sept. 4.

Barcelona also left injured defenders Carles Puyol, Javier Mascherano and Jordi Alba out of its squad for the trip to Glasgow.

Fast bowler Matt Henry and batsman Jeet Raval have been dropped from the 16-man squad that toured Africa, with Neesham the only addition to what is now a 15-man group.Neesham was forced out of last summers Australia tour due to back pain, but he has since then played for Otago during New Zealands home season and for Derbyshire in Englands county competition. New Zealand selector Gavin Larsen said Neeshams all-round ability made him an attractive proposition for the tour of India, while Corey Anderson could not be considered due to a back injury.Jimmy has put in a lot of work to make sure he is physically ready for a return to Test cricket, Larsen said. Having two pace-bowling allrounders in Jimmy and Doug Bracewell helps the balance of the squad, particularly if playing on pitches which demand a spin-heavy bowling attack.Jeet Raval misses out on this tour, but we were really pleased with what we saw of him in Afriica.dddddddddddd He did everything asked of him and well continue to monitor him closely.Mitch Santner and Ish Sodhi will have benefitted from getting a taste of Indian conditions earlier this year at the ICC World Twenty20 and both showed excellent form at that tournament. Its another big challenge for them early in their young careers, as well as for Mark Craig, who has made some changes in the past six months and has shown growth in his game.Indias the No.2 ranked side in the world, and their record at home is formidable. Were yet to win a Test series over there and thats motivating for everyone. Weve got three Tests to try create a special piece of history.The first Test is in Kanpur beginning on September 22, followed by Tests in Kolkata and Indore.Squad Kane Williamson (capt), Trent Boult, Doug Bracewell, Mark Craig, Martin Guptill, Tom Latham, Jimmy Neesham, Henry Nicholls, Luke Ronchi, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor, Neil Wagner, BJ Watling.
