NEWTON, Iowa -- Rookie Erik Jones has made winning look easy in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.Jones success is even more remarkable given that hes had to race without his father, who died of cancer just a month ago.Jones retook the lead from Ty Dillon with 16 laps to go and won Saturday night at Iowa Speedway for his third victory of the season.Jones led a race-high 154 of 250 laps, but it took a late inside move for Jones to overcome Dillon for his first win since his father Dave died in June at just 53.Its special for me to get back into Victory Lane without him. I know he was riding along with us, and its hard not to think that this one was for him, Jones said. I know hes definitely smiling down on us.Brad Keselowski was the only Sprint Cup driver in the field, leaving Iowa wide-open for an Xfinity regular to snatch a victory. But Jones remains the only series driver with more than one of those in 2016.Dillon, seeking his first victory since Indianapolis in 2014, finished second. Hes winless in 66 races.I wanted to win so bad and that was all we had, Dillon said. Man, my heart has been broken every race since Indy. I want to get in Victory Lane again. Were close. Its just that we need to get a little bit better.Elliott Sadler was third, followed by Brennan Poole and Dakoda Armstrong.Keselowski, who will start seventh Sunday in Pocono in Pennsylvania in the Cup race, was eighth.Daniel Suarez, the series leader entering the race, failed to finish because of damage to the No. 19 car.Jones came to Iowa with the comfort of knowing that hes already locked into the inaugural Xfinity Chase later this season.It was clear from the opening lap that the No. 20 car would be one the field would be chasing.Suarez won his second pole of the season earlier Saturday. But Jones grabbed the lead before the end of the first turn and dominated the first half of the race.Three cautions within the space of 10 laps threatened to shake thing up, but Jones quickly jumped back ahead.Jones couldnt win all the restarts though, as Dillon caught him with a quick pit stop about 100 laps before the finish. Dillon continued to pad his lead as the laps progressed, but the stress Dillon put on his car proved to be overwhelming.I did all I could I to keep him behind me, and it just wore my stuff out a little more than I needed to, Dillon said.Jones margin of victory was nearly four seconds -- and the rest of the field finished at least 10 seconds behind him.I was really working as hard as I could to get around Ty. Man, it was tough, said Jones, who was 27th in the June race at Iowa. I feel like we deserved to win when he came here earlier this year. We really had a fast car. Its nice to get some redemption.

For the past four years, U.S. BMX racer Alise Post has stared at the Olympic silver medal that hangs in the trophy room she shares with her fiancé, Sam Willoughby. It has inspired her. It has motivated her. Thing is, it doesnt belong to her.Ive looked at that medal every day, Post, 25, said of Willoughbys silver medal in BMX racing from the London Olympics, where he represented his home country of Australia. I wanted one of my own.Friday afternoon, Post got her silver medal, in the best finish by an American woman in Olympic BMX history. I was going for a gold medal today, and I was in contention, Post said after the medal ceremony. But Im not disappointed. Im proud of myself and my effort. BMX is so hard. One 30-second lap can dictate a lifetime of hard work. Today I got across the line and realized, Wow, thats over and I have an Olympic medal. That means a lot. Wearing this heavy thing is amazing.Before leaving for the track Friday morning, Post wrote in her journal that no matter what happened on the track, she felt like she had already won. She had made it to Rio with the help of so many people, from coaches and doctors to friends, family and Sam. Im proud of everybody whos helped me, all the people back home, she said. I know theyre proud. I won before I got here.In London, Post crashed in her final semifinal race and had to be helped off the track. Later that day, she watched as Willoughby, an Olympic rookie at the time, took silver and celebrated with his teammates. This time around, it was Willoughby who watched before the gate dropped on the mens final as Post matched his London finish.I think I had a bigger heart attack watching Sam race than I did racing my own, Post said.dddddddddddd Willoughby and Post plan to marry in April next year.Despite winning all three of his semifinal races, Willoughby finished a disappointing seventh.It was the opposite ending as last time, Post said. I was so proud of him then. And today he told me he was very proud of me and to enjoy my success. Of course, I wanted him to get a medal. But he gave a gold-medal effort.In a sport where consistency is all but nonexistent, defending Olympic gold-medalist Mariana Pajon of Colombia won all three of her heat races, and her second straight gold medal with a win in the final. Post was hot on her heels and waiting to capitalize if Pajon made a mistake, but that window never opened. It was an unbelievable performance and one celebrated by a huge contingent of Colombians in the stands.This is better than anything, Pajon said. Its so beautiful. Already to win two golds is crazy. I felt like I was at home with so many Colombian fans. It filled me with energy.Draped in an American flag in the finish area, Post couldnt fight back the tears, at first for herself and then for Willoughby and all she had been through in the past eight years. As she does at every race, Post competed with the words Cheryl strong written on the front hub of her bike in memory of her mother, Cheryl, who died in January of 2014. In Rio, her helmet design included ribbons and a rose, her moms favorite flower and Posts middle name.I know shes proud of me, Post said. I had her with me all day, too.
