DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Defending Sprint Cup Series champion Kyle Busch was OK after an apparent cut tire resulted in a hard crash Friday during practice at Daytona International Speedway.The Joe Gibbs Racing driver was running in a small pack of cars practicing for the Coke Zero 400 when the right rear tire blew near the exit of Turn 2. The car fishtailed before turning hard right and making near 90-degree contact with the outside SAFER Barrier.Busch walked out of his car and was evaluated and released from the infield care center. He said the tire blew after just four laps on the track, and Goodyear reported that the tire had a gash in it, meaning Busch likely ran over something on the track.He will have to go to a backup car for the race Saturday. He will be able to start where he qualifies Friday afternoon because he will use that backup car for qualifying today.It was a huge impact, Busch said. I thank NASCAR for all their advancements in the safety aspects of the car in the things that drivers wear and the SAFER Barriers as well today. That could have been a heck of a lot uglier than what it was.Im pretty confident in Joe Gibbs Racing and their ability to build good race cars. Im not very confident in Goodyear in giving us good tires to go out there and race on.Busch was right to have confidence in the JGR cars. He posted the third-best speed in the final round of qualifying in his backup car for a solid starting spot Saturday. He also said his rant on Goodyear was more about issues he has had this season than just Friday morning.Weve had a lot of tire issues this year -- that [was] probably four, five or six tires that weve blown this year, he said. Thats what is the most frustrating part of it is.We also did the tire test at Kentucky [last month] and didnt necessarily have the best results. Goodyear probably didnt deserve what they got from me earlier today, but thats just from earlier today.At least a frustrating day ended well.I felt pretty good with what we had right there [in qualifying], Busch said. I feel like weve got a good base. As far as what kind of pack car or drafting-type car, it will take a little bit to kind of figure that out. But the balance was fine and the drivability was fine.

The Brazil right back was under no pressure when he guided a 48th-minute floated cross by Swiss forward Haris Seferovic into the top left corner of the net, leaving goalkeeper Jefferson helpless. Brazil star Neymar had a frustrating match, enduring some tough challenges before being shown a yellow card in the 23rd for a hard tackle on defender Stephan Lichtsteiner. "He went in to hurt," Lichtsteiner told Swiss broadcaster RTS. "The victory was deserved. We showed that if we have space to play, were a super team. Keeping a clean sheet against a team like that, its really special." Neymars inswinging cross from the left wing in the 38th created Brazils best opportunity but Paulinhos header clipped the top of the Swiss crossbar. World Cup host Brazil had won its six previous matches, including five at the Confederations Cup to win the warm-up event in June. Coach Luiz Felipe Scolaris team was last beaten in February, 2-1 away to England. The unbeaten streak ended in Switzerland where it began in March when drawing 2-2 with Italy in Geneva. Switzerland stretched its unbeaten run to 10 matches since May 2012. The two teams could meet again at the World Cup. Switzerland is unbeaten in qualifying and leads its group by four points with four matches remaining. The match paired the last two teams to beat world and European champion Spain in competitive matches: Brazil won 3-0 in the Confederations Cup final, and the Swiss earned a 1-0 upset in a 2010 World CCup group match.dddddddddddd A testy first half-hour showed little signs of friendliness, and Neymar was booked for letting his irritation show. The Barcelona forward was cynically pulled back in the 11th when skipping past defender Philippe Senderos who was booked. Neymar soon lashed out at Valon Behrami, protesting he was first elbowed by the Swiss midfielder. He was booked in the 23rd for a rough challenge on right-back Lichtsteiner. Behrami was shown a yellow card in the melee of players that followed. When Brazils football flowed, Hulks shot with his weaker right foot was saved by onrushing goalkeeper Diego Benaglio. Oscar almost finished off a swift break following a Swiss corner in the 44th, but clipped his shot too high when found by Hulks clever pass. Switzerland was bright in attack and tested goalkeeper Jefferson with accurate long-range shooting. Xherdan Shaqiri was twice denied by diving saves, in the 19th and 43rd minutes, and the Botafogo keeper almost spilled Granit Xhakas 27th-minute drive over the goal line. Jefferson could do nothing three minutes into the second half when Dani Alves rose to place an intended headed clearance of Seferovics cross high into the Brazil goal. Seferovic threatened twice more within minutes, firing a shot too high when clear, then putting Jefferson under pressure in front of goal when the keeper badly misjudged a back pass. Hulk almost levelled in the 62nd but fired his first-time shot just over the goal from 15 metres (yards). Shaqiri fired just too high again in the 67th as the Bayern Munich attacker showed himself equal to Neymar on the night. ' ' '
