Cup Series With Kentucky Nationwide

Autoracing Betting Lines

Sparta, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Sprint Cup Series makes its first appearance at Kentucky Speedway this weekend. Nationwide and Camping World Truck teams are also at Kentucky. The IZOD IndyCar Series heads to Toronto, while Formula One revs it up in Silverstone, England with the British Grand Prix. NASCAR

 

Quaker State 400 - Kentucky Speedway - Sparta, KY

 

Nearly a year ago, Bruton Smith, the chairman and chief executive officer of Speedway Motorsports Inc., the parent company of Kentucky Speedway, announced the track would host a 400-mile nighttime Sprint Cup race in 2011. SMI moved its spring race at Atlanta Motor Speedway to Kentucky. Atlanta will host only one Cup event, which will take place on Labor Day Weekend.

 

The track opened in 2000, with the Camping World Truck Series competing here each year since then. The Nationwide Series has been racing at Kentucky each season since 2001.

 

The State of Kentucky has hosted only one Cup race up until this point. The series ran at Corbin Speedway -- a half-mile dirt track in Corbin, KY -- on August 29, 1954. Lee Petty won that event, while Hershel McGriff finished second. They were the only drivers who finished on the lead lap.

 

Since Kentucky is an inaugural race, Sprint Cup teams will get an extra day of practice at this track on Thursday.

 

NASCAR is also conducting its first test of electronic fuel injected cars at Kentucky. The sanctioning body announced earlier this year that Sprint Cup cars will use electronic fuel injection in place of carburetors starting in 2012. All four manufacturers -- Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford and Toyota -- from various teams are expected to participate.

 

"I'd say every one of us has been there in some way, shape or form," Kevin Harvick said. "Some of the guys may not have raced there, but I know for me, when I first raced there was in 2001. Through the years, there has been a lot of testing that has taken place at that particular racetrack. I think it's a racetrack everyone is pretty familiar with, but not familiar with this new- style car there, as everything was probably done with the old car. So it'll still be a challenge for sure."

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.

Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds

With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.

That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.

Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.

After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.

The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).

To see a complete list of all the team's odds to win Super Bowl XLIV, check below.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
