Sprint Cup, Nationwide races reset for Sunday

Steady rain from Tropical Storm Hanna that began Friday -- with expectations that it would continue today -- forced NASCAR to postpone tonight's Sprint Cup Series race in Richmond, Va.

The Chevrolet 400, which will finalize the field of 12 drivers who will be eligible to compete for the Chase for the Championship, is now scheduled to be run at 10 a.m. Sunday.

The Nationwide Series race scheduled for Friday night was moved to 4 p.m. Sunday.

The field for both races was set Friday based on driver's standings.

LPGA to revise plan for 'English-only' rule

Under increasing criticism, the LPGA Tour backed off plans to suspend players who cannot speak English well enough to be understood at pro-ams, in interviews or in making acceptance speeches at tournaments.

LPGA Tour commissioner Carolyn Bivens said she would have a revised plan by the end of the year that would not include suspensions, although fining non-English speakers remains an option.

The policy, which had not been written, was widely criticized as discriminatory, particularly against Asian players.

Also: Camilo Villegas, coming off a tie for third last week that allowed him to advance in the PGA Tour Playoffs, continued his good form with eight birdies on long, soft Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis for a 5-under-par 65 that gave him a one-shot lead after the first round of the BMW Championship.

Steve Stricker, Kenny Perry, Tim Herron, Stuart Appleby and Andres Romero were tied for second at 66.

The father of 17-year-old pro golfer Tadd Fujikawa was charged with trafficking methamphetamine and awaits trial next month.

Derrick Fujikawa was named in an indictment returned July 31 by a Honolulu grand jury.

Fujikawa is accused of distributing one-eighth of an ounce or more of meth on Sept. 24 and Oct. 4. If convicted, he could face up to 40 years in prison.
