SEATTLE -- Its too simple of an equation to say that Budda Baker was the cause and Washington being on the cusp of a Pac-12 North title was the effect.But its not too far of a stretch to believe that the most impactful recruit landed by Chris Petersen since he arrived at Washington came in February 2014. Thats when Baker decided to stay home with the Huskies rather than follow the lengthy parade of premier recruits from the state of Washington who decided to go out of state.We were very urgent. We knew he was a big time football player that could really change the direction of this program and that was job No. 1 when we first took this job was to make sure we kept a homegrown talent in Budda Baker here at the University of Washington, Washington defensive backs coach Jimmy Lake said. It was an intense battle and were obviously happy that we got him.There are numerous pieces that Washington has woven together to create a roster that this year is 10-1 and on the cusp of not only a Pac-12 North title but potentially a shot in the College Football Playoff headed into Fridays Apple Cup against Washington State. Some were holdovers from the previous coaching regime, who have developed into stars later in their careers, like linebacker Keishawn Bierria and wide receiver John Ross. Others were recruits from out-of-state that Petersen and his staff convinced to make Washington their home, like quarterback Jake Browning.But ultimately, for Washington to be successful, it must be keeping the top in-state recruits at home. And beginning with Baker, it has.I always heard it every day by friends, family, even random people that `Youre a hometown guy, you can put this program back on top, and all that type of stuff, Baker said. It hit because like they said I have a lot of family here, I had a chance to go to a great school.Since Bakers commitment in 2014, the Huskies have had a pipeline of in-state talent staying home, including running back Myles Gaskin, wide receiver Chico McClatcher, left tackle Trey Adams, safety Taylor Rapp and offensive lineman Kaleb McGary. Its not a huge list, and while California will always be the hotbed for Washingtons recruits, getting the top kids from the state is influential in what the Huskies are trying to build.I didnt know where I wanted to go. I thought if I stayed here I would always being going home and doing chores and stuff, Gaskin said. My mom and dad kept it real. They said, `You are going to Washington. At the time I didnt understand why but Im very thankful for them.When many of the current Huskies were first making impressions about college football, Washington was a struggling program. The 2008 season where Washington went 0-12 was the clear bottom, but even under Steve Sarkisian there was a plateau reached -- 7-win Sark became the nickname -- with little indication the Huskies would rise much beyond that mark.Additionally, the group watched a number of top recruits from the state -- Jonathan Stewart, Jake Heaps, David DeCastro, all the way up to Myles Jack -- take the route out of the state rather than remain at home.Which all leads back to why landing Baker was so important.Its huge for that year and the years following, all the in-state talent that hey it is cool to stay at home and play for the hometown (Huskies), Lake said. Now hopefully those young guys are seeing where were at now and seeing the following that he has here and now when his career is over at Washington hes going to be a legend here. Hes already made a ton of plays and hopefully we do some bigger things this year and next year and hell be a legend here for a long time to come if he keeps doing what hes doing, and those other guys are seeing that.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25Swell Flaske 500 Ml . -- Linebacker Myles Jack ran for four touchdowns, defensive end Cassius Marsh caught a scoring pass, and No. Swell Flaske Butikk .

Once he did, he bowed twice to the crowd. He could have done it one more time -- one for each green-white-checkered finish he needed to survive to win at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Busch dominated in regulation, then proved he had the car to beat in three attempts of NASCARs version of overtime to win the Nationwide Series race. Busch needed to drive 213 laps of a scheduled 200-lap race to win his seventh race of the season. He snapped a four-race winless streak and won his 58th career Nationwide race. He had enough fuel left in the tank to win from the pole for the fourth time this season. Busch then used it all up with one big burnout. "We didnt want to have those late restarts," Busch said. "We felt like we had just enough fuel to make it to the end." Who knew theyd need every drop? The bonus racing stretched just about every car on the track. Not everyone made it. Brian Vickers ran out of gas just as he crossed the finish line. Busch pitted for the final time two laps after Vickers, on lap 119. He tried to conserve fuel through various methods and pad his stats for total laps led. He passed the 12,000 mark in career laps led and has 12,085 now. "Its just about being out front and setting your own pace," Busch said. "Its kind of like minding your own business. I like everyone away from me and to be doing my own thing." Joe Gibbs Racing drivers Busch (141), Vickers (63) and Matt Kenseth (nine) led every lap in the race. Vickers was second and Austin Dillon third. Brian Scott and Michael Annett round out the top five. "Finally, nothing stupid happened and we kept ourr nose clean and brought home a top-five," Annett said.dddddddddddd Nothing stupid, just wild. Busch had been the car to beat and seemed like he could put the No. 54 Toyota on cruise control heading into Victory Lane. Then the real fun started. Chad Hackenbracht spun out with two laps left of the scheduled finish, setting up the first G-W-C. No sooner did they restart, than Landon Cassill ran out of fuel and stalled on the track. The caution came out and Mike Wallace pushed Cassill out of the way. There was a four-car wreck on lap 206 that brought out the caution flag yet again. Parker Kligermans car was stuck in the infield mud for a bit after the accident. Elliott Sadler then spun on the lap 212 but, this time, the caution did not come out and Busch finally pulled away for good. His four wins from the pole matched Sam Ards record set in 1983. "Every time I get in Victory Lane, theres some sort of record I tie or break," Busch said. Busch is still trying to find the same success in the Sprint Cup series. He has two wins this season and 26 in 311 career starts. He has 58 wins in 258 Nationwide starts. "Itd certainly be nice to have those numbers in the Cup series, but for whatever reason, it hasnt quite worked out that way yet," he said. "For some reason, Jimmie Johnsons doing it. Hes the guy over there that does all those numbers and I can do it here. Maybe one day we should swap rides." Maybe not Sunday at New Hampshire. Busch starts fourth and Johnson is 43rd after his qualifying time was tossed out because he failed inspection. Regan Smith, who finished eighth, has a five-point lead in the Nationwide standings over Sam Hornish Jr. ' ' '
