SONOMA, Calif. -- The bright yellow paint scheme of Menards will be a familiar fixture in IndyCar next season as the home improvement store returns to the series with 10 races of sponsorship for Simon Pagenaud.The deal with Team Penske announced Saturday gives Roger Penske three sponsored cars for next season, but ended no speculation about his IndyCar lineup.Penske said he has the funding to field cars for Pagenaud, Will Power and Helio Castroneves next season, but the status of Juan Pablo Montoya and a fourth Penske entry is undetermined. Montoya won the Indianapolis 500 in 2014 for Penske, but lost the championship in the season finale.Penske said discussions regarding a fourth car are ongoing, and that he has not officially decided on bringing back the Colombian. The team owner also wouldnt discuss the potential to add American driver Josef Newgarden as the fourth Penske driver.Hes not available, I dont think, right now, Penske said. When pressed, the team owner only said no comment.Newgarden doesnt become a free agent until the end of this month. Penske did reveal his IndyCar lineup will be determined within the next 60 days.Meanwhile, the possibility exists that John Menard could ultimately move his sponsorship money in NASCAR over to Penske in the future, but it wont be immediate. Menard said his son, Paul, is signed to drive for Richard Childress Racing through 2017 in a deal that has been year-to-year for some time.Paul has a commitment with RCR next year, this doesnt affect any of our NASCAR relationships at all, John Menard said. This is a totally separate thing. Well see how it goes. Paul has reached the stage of his career where hes got to start thinking about what hes going to do post-racing. When you hit 40 and have some kids, it changes your thinking on what your life journey is.Paul Menard, in his 10th full season at the Sprint Cup level, turned 36 last month. His father stressed that Paul Menard is not retiring from racing soon, but indicated he wouldnt mind having him return to Wisconsin to help with the chain, which spans 300 stores in 14 Midwestern states.Make no mistake, though, racing is still very much part of John Menards business and hes thrilled to be back in IndyCar. The billionaire was a team owner and sponsor in the series but walked away after the 2004 season to back his son in NASCAR.John Menard was tired of open wheel racing, both emotionally and financially, when he pulled out and his return has been gradual. Menard came back in a three-race deal with Pagenaud that included 100th Indianapolis 500, and that deal grew to cover five races.Im so glad to be back. There are certain aspects of this that are so fun, NASCAR is fun, too, but its a lot more relentless. This is a little bit more breathing room, Menard said. I certainly found its a lot more pleasurable to be part of Rogers team than it is to try to beat Rogers team.Pagenaud won one race with Menard sponsorship this season, and is on the verge of wrapping up his first IndyCar championship in Sundays season finale. He takes a 43-point lead over teammate Will Power into the race.All of a sudden this gentleman from France just ignited the IndyCar racing world and took off and became a legend in his own time, Menard said of Pagenaud.

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.

LOS ANGELES -- The Rams were a certifiable hit in their return to Los Angeles for the first time in nearly 22 years. Now if they could just score a touchdown.They have yet to find the end zone since leaving St. Louis, yet still managed to win their regular-season home debut on Sunday, beating the Seattle Seahawks 9-3 on Greg Zuerleins three field goals -- the longest a 47-yarder in the fourth quarter.The Rams (1-1) were shut out in a 28-0 loss at San Francisco in their season opener.Last week, to put it simple, we got embarrassed, wide receiver Kenny Britt said. And so to come back like this is good for morale and good for our confidence.Plenty of penalties slowed down the game for the announced crowd of 91,046 on a searing day at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, where the Rams marked the long-awaited occasion by wearing blue-and-gold throwback uniforms for their regular-season home debut.You most definitely want to set the tone, especially at home, safety Mark Barron said. This is what we do at home. When we come home, we win.With field goals accounting for all the offense, it was hardly the high-scoring show Los Angeles sports fans are known to crave.At times, the dull roar of chatter was the loudest sound from the crowd until the fourth quarter when they were on their feet cheering the Rams defense.Alec Ogletree recovered a fumble by Seattles Christine Michael at the Los Angeles 29 with 57 seconds left in the game, ending the Seahawks last scoring bid.It kind of happened all so fast, Ogletree said. I was kind of just roaming the field. I dropped like 30 yards deep, which I dont even think I was supposed to do. I just saw him (Russell Wilson) check it down, I just ran it down.The drive included an incomplete pass from Wilson and a false start penalty on the Seahawks.It was just a great play by those guys, Michael said. They played a tremendous game. I just got to do better, hold on to the ball in those situations.Barron had 11 tackles and Ogletree added eight to lead the Rams defense.Seattle racked up 10 penalties for 114 yards; the Rams had nine penalties for 78 yards.The teams put on a defensive slugfest, with passes getting broken up in the end zone, offensive drives ending in punts and neither quarterback airing it out much.Wilson was 22 of 35 for 254 yards, getting sacked twice. He sprained his right ankle in last weeks win over Miami.Rams starter Case Keenum was 18 of 30 for 239 yards. He was sacked three times.I made sure as Im running out just to savor that moment, Keenum said about emerging from the tunnel to flames and fireworks. Im going to remember it forever. It might not have been the prettiest game, but it was a lot of fun.The victory extended the Ramss recent dominance against their NFC West rival.dddddddddddd Theyve won four of their past five against the Seahawks, including both games last season. The Rams defensive line has sacked Wilson 18 times in the past five meetings.We got to see them twice a year, Barron said, so we want to establish that and let them know we are coming.Zuerlein got the Rams on the board in the first quarter with a 39-yard field goal. The Seahawks (1-1) tied it on a 23-yard field goal by Steven Hauschka in the second.Zuerlein put the Rams in front 6-3 on a 20-yarder with 1:04 left before halftime. Early in the fourth, he made it 9-3 on his longest kick of the game.RED HOTThe temperature hit 88 degrees under cloudless skies and lead singer Anthony Kiedis stripped off his No. 16 Jared Goff jersey during the Red Hot Chili Peppers pregame concert in the west end zone. A group of Rams Hall of Famers, including Jackie Slater, Marshall Faulk, Eric Dickerson and Jack Youngblood helped light the Coliseums torch, which also burned when the stadium hosted the 1932 and 1984 Olympics.STILL WAITINGGoff, the No. 1 overall pick in this years draft, was promoted to backup for the game after being the inactive third-stringer in the Rams opening-week loss. Goff practiced with the first-team offense more often during the week, but has yet to make his regular-season debut.HE SAID ITI like touchdowns, but I love winning, Keenum said.BACK HOMESeattle coach Pete Carroll returned to the Coliseum, where he oversaw Southern Californias football dynasty for nine years that included two national championships before jumping to the NFL.
