STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- Matteo Manassero remains on track for a second consecutive European Tour victory after taking a two-shot lead at the Nordea Masters on Friday. The 20-year old Italian, who won last weeks BMW PGA Championship, added a 7-under 65 to his opening 66 for a 13-under total for two rounds on the Bro Hof Slott course in Stockholm. Manassero capped his round with four birdies in succession from the 11th hole. "It was nice after my good start to come back today and shoot another great score," he said. "I am glad the way the day has gone as I played solid. Over the last five or six holes I didnt feel as good as I did at the beginning but I was scoring well which is a good sign." Finlands Mikko Ilonen is second at 11 under after birdieing his last three holes for a 9-under 63. He matched a new course record, set just hours earlier by Scotlands Peter Whiteford, who is third at 10 under. It is the third time Ilonen has shot 63 in his career, while Whitefords effort is the 32-year-olds lowest score in five full seasons competing on the European Tour and one shot lower than Lee Westwoods 64 set en route to victory in the event last year. "It was brilliant and a great round of golf, and its put me in a good position though its still a long way to go," Whiteford said. "The scoring looks like it will be low over the weekend but its just great to be in contention again." Whiteford came close to his first Tour win a month ago, losing in a playoff for the Ballantines Championship in South Korea. Swedens Peter Hanson, the highest ranked player in the field at No. 23, had reached 8 under after 16 holes. But then he double bogeyed the par-3 17th for a second successive 69 and a 6-under total. Australias Andrew Dodt became the first player in European Tour history to record two holes-in-one in the same round when he aced his second, the 11th on the course, and his 16th hole, the seventh on the Stockholm layout. He finished with a 65 to reach the 2-under mark and squeeze into the weekend rounds. Last year, Dodt secured the second last order of merit position to retain full 2013 Tour membership. Among those missing the cut was Scotlands Marc Warren (143) who had been involved in last Sundays Wentworth play-off and former British Open champion, Darren Clarke (145).

LONG POND, Pa. -- When NASCAR announced revisions to the foot box and floorboard areas would be optional for all races except for restrictor-plate events in 2017 until full implementation in 2018, it put teams in the familiar position of trying to determine whether to go with safety or speed.It really is no decision. Kyle Busch broke his right leg and left foot in a crash in 2015 but he knows his team wont make the proposed changes unless they have to.The increased thickness of the firewall with other elements of the redesign will make the cars handle so differently and it would be a competitive disadvantage to run them.I doubt youll see teams implementing them into their cars too early before theyre mandatory, Busch said. It just doesnt make sense to us. Obviously were all competitors and were going to build cars to the capabilities that we know how to make them as fast and as light and everything as possible.If they would implement a rule where you make all of these changes and youre able to run your car 25 pounds light, then we would all do it right away. But adding weight to the cars and then being able to take that weight back out is going to be a challenge for some of these teams so its going to be a bit tricky.This change isnt as simple as changing a suspension piece or a body panel. It is a big enough change that all chassis will need to be recertified by NASCAR.The weight in the firewall added is above the center of gravity -- above the master cylinder -- that it isnt low enough to help performance and forward bite, Team Penske competition director Travis Geisler said.Its a massive rebuild of the car, Geisler said. It definitely is a big departure from how were building them right now.Teams usually build at least some nnew Daytona and Talladega cars every year, so they can start working on those changes now for next season.dddddddddddd Geisler said it might be possible to retrofit current cars but that is debatable.He said there is a 1-inch toeboard foam that is being developed as part of the new designs. Any driver with long legs would not be able to start using the foam before then, but smaller drivers possibly could put that foam in the current car.There are some drivers that can put that in today and never even notice it ... because their feet are so far back, Geisler said.Chevrolets Sprint Cup manager Alba Colon said changes like this take time no matter how quickly everyone would want to implement as soon as possible for safety.When you make a change like this, you need some time to figure out the whole thing, Colon said. You have already put all these [current] vehicles in your computer systems and simulation. You will have to go and change everything again.The one concern likely is the challenge of making the cars so stiff that no energy is absorbed by the car in an accident.Obviously theres some debate as to whether or not stiffening up the cars make them too stiff when we crash and you dont have the opportunity to absorb the crash itself through the car like IndyCars, Busch said.We would all say those cars absorb the crash obviously. I feel like with our advancements in the SAFER Barriers that were trying to make sure that the walls absorb our crashes and the cars stay intact for the drivers so we dont have injuries like we saw with myself or potentially have seen with Austin Dillons [2015 Daytona] crash.
