Martin Truex Jr. will remain at Furniture Row Racing through the 2018 season after signing a two-year contract extension.The team announced Thursday that Truex would have sponsorship from Bass Pro Shops/Tracker Boats, which will increase its number of races from 12 this year to 16 starting in 2017. The team is operated by Furniture Row owner Barney Visser, who also uses the car as a way to promote his furniture outlet and its products.Truex, who has four career wins, finished fourth in the 2015 season standings and is ninth in the Chase-eligibility standings this year. He has just one 2016 win, but he has led more laps (17.29 percent) and more miles (17.71 percent) than any other driver on the circuit.The performance this year is even more impressive considering the team switched from Chevrolet to Toyota, forming an alliance with Joe Gibbs Racing. That alliance nearly paid dividends early, with Truex coming inches shy of winning the Daytona 500.I am pleased that were going to continue our momentum from this season, said the 36-year-old Truex, who is in his third year at Furniture Row. This is where I want to be, driving the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota.Weve come a long way in a short period of time. There are many reasons to feel excited and optimistic about the future of our racing program.Prior to coming to Furniture Row, Truex had a relationship with Bass Pro Shops; the company had sponsored him in his first five years in Cup at Dale Earnhardt Inc. and Earnhardt Ganassi Racing.Martin has proved over and over that he is one of the blue-chip drivers in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, and we are elated that he will continue to drive our No. 78 Toyota, team president Joe Garone said.Furniture Row is a single-car organization -- but might not be for long. Garone has said the organization is working on a deal to start a second car. When asked earlier this week if the team had completed the deal to put JGR driver Erik Jones in a second car with sponsorship from 5-Hour Energy, Garone said the team was still working on the plans for a second car.

LOUIS -- Roman Polak was celebrating even before Alexander Steen scored the winning goal in Saturdays 4-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. MINNEAPOLIS -- Mike Napoli hit a mammoth home run on the first pitch of the fifth inning to give Cleveland the lead, and the Indians hung on to beat the Minnesota Twins 6-5 on Friday night and maintain their six-game lead in the AL Central.The Indians won for the ninth time in their last 11 games, but a concern came up when starter Danny Salazar was removed after four innings due to tightness in his right forearm. His departure was announced by the team as a precaution, but Salazar was on the disabled list for elbow inflammation a month ago.Napolis drive off Tyler Duffey (8-11) was estimated by the Twins at 456 feet, landing in the third deck above left field three sections over from the foul pole.That followed Byron Buxtons two-out, two-run homer that tied the game against Salazar in the fourth and glanced off the back wall of the Twins bullpen in left-center. The 22-year-old Buxton has five of his eight career home runs in the eight games since his recall from Triple-A on Sept. 1.Joe Mauer also went deep and Brian Dozier added an RBI double, but the Twins lost for the 23rd time in their last 29 games.Salazar threw 76 pitches. One of the four runs the right-hander allowed was unearned due to a fielding error by second baseman Jason Kipnis on the speedy Buxtons bouncer, but Salazar has not won in seven starts since July 19.Joe Colon (1-1) completed the fifth inning for the victory and Cody Allen finished the ninth for his 27th save in 30 attempts, as the Indians started their final stretch of 23 games, all intra-division affairs. Theyre only 9-8 against the Twins, who are on track for 100-plus losses.ddddddddddddThe Indians scored four runs in the third inning against Duffey, whose low throw to second base on a comebacker by Francisco Lindor not only cost him a potential double play but contributed in a major way to the rally. Lonnie Chisenhall added a two-run double, and Tyler Naquin tacked on an RBI single.PERSONAL RECORDSNapolis 32 home runs are the most hes hit in 11 major league seasons, and his latest long ball pushed his RBI total to 93, surpassing his previous career high set in 2013 with Boston.FIELDING FLUBSThe Twins lead the league with 110 errors, already their highest season total in five years and on pace for their most since 1980. They made three highlight-reel plays, diving stops of grounders by Mauer at first and Miguel Sano at third and a sliding catch by Max Kepler in right, but the two mistakes made a much bigger impact.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: Roberto Perez, sharing the catcher role with Chris Gimenez while Yan Gomes (separated shoulder) is working his way back on a rehab assignment, struck out a season-high three times.Twins: RHP Trevor May (back strain) and LHP Tommy Milone (biceps tendinitis) were reinstated from the DL before the game.UP NEXTThe Indians will send RHP Mike Clevinger (2-2, 5.30 ERA) to the mound for the middle game of the series. LHP Hector Santiago (11-8, 4.91 ERA) will pitch for the Twins. ' ' '
