Leffler wins Busch pole at BMS

Autoracing Betting Lines

08/24/2007 - Bristol, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jason Leffler won the pole for Friday night's Food City 250 Busch Series race at the Bristol Motor Speedway. The No.38 Great Clips Toyota driver circled the 0.533-mile short track in 15.947 seconds (120.324 m.p.h.).

The pole victory was Leffler's second of the season and eighth of his Busch career.

Starting on the front row with Leffler will be Brad Coleman, who posted a time of 16.051 seconds.

Jeff Burton (16.071) and Mike Bliss (16.076) will make up row two.

The Busch Series continues to trudge through the long season with Carl Edwards dominating from beginning to end. At least in the driver category.

In the owner's championship, the race is much, much closer. While Edwards leads Kevin Harvick in the driver standings by 700 points, the battle between the No.60 Roush Fenway Racing Ford and the No.29 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet is a different story.

After last week, the combination of Jeff Burton and Scott Wimmer driving the No.29 Chevy is actually ahead of Edwards' No.60. The No.29 team was more than 300 points behind the No.60 following the second race at Nashville Superspeedway in June, but has made up all the ground and now leads by 40 points.

Kevin Harvick, starting sixth, is back to his 2006 Busch Series championship form these days, winning two of the last three Busch events (Montreal, Watkins Glen) and four of his last six starts.

In just 18 starts this year, Harvick has collected a series-high five wins and 16 top-10s. He is second in points despite missing seven races.

The green flag is set to drop tonight at 8:00 p.m. (et).

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
