Busch grabs Nationwide pole at Dover

Autoracing Betting Lines

09/26/2009 - Dover, DE (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kyle Busch will start on the pole for Saturday's Dover 200 Nationwide Series race after topping the speed charts in qualifying at Dover International Speedway.

Busch, the current points leader, turned a blazing lap around the one-mile track at 154.110 m.p.h. (23.360 seconds) in his No.18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota for his third pole of the season and the 18th of his Nationwide career. He started on the pole and won the fall race here one year ago.

"The [car] has been good this weekend, and we just have to make sure we keep it that way throughout this race," Busch said. "We've got 200 laps, and anything can happen. We've seen it here before, especially with us this year. It seems like our late restarts are our Achilles' heal."

In May, Busch appeared to be on his way to another victory at Dover, but a late-race tangle with his JGR teammate Joey Logano cost him the win. Brad Keselowski went to Victory Lane, while Busch ended up with a 17th-place finish after cutting a tire during the incident.

Busch qualified more than two miles per hour faster than his closest competitor, Carl Edwards, who will start on the outside pole. Busch holds a 201-point lead over Edwards.

Mike Bliss qualified third, followed by Sprint Cup Series regulars Denny Hamlin and Scott Speed.

Ryan Newman, Steve Wallace, John Wes Townley, Dennis Setzer and Reed Sorenson completed the top-10.

J.C. Stout was the only driver who failed to qualify.

Today's 200-mile is scheduled to begin around 3:30 p.m. (et).

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
