Autoracing Betting Lines

03/07/2009 - Hampton, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kyle Busch will start on the pole for Saturday's American Commercial Lines 200 Camping World Truck Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Busch, who also won the pole for the Truck Series event two weeks ago at California, turned in a lap of 31.428 seconds (176.403 m.p.h.) to capture the top starting position at Atlanta in his No.51 Billy Ballew Motorsports Toyota.

"The Miccosukee Toyota was awesome today," Busch said. "Qualifying seemed to bode well for us, and hopefully the race will too here later."

Busch recorded his fourth career pole in the series. He is the only driver with multiple truck victories at Atlanta, posting three wins here.

After winning at California, Busch grabbed the series points lead, as he holds a five-point advantage over Todd Bodine.

Rick Crawford, who will become the first driver to make his 300th career start in the series, secured the outside pole with the second-best lap of 31.509 seconds.

"If you start on the front row for your 300th start, that's pretty good," Crawford said.

Kevin Harvick qualified third, followed by Bodine and Ron Hornaday Jr.

Dennis Setzer, JR Fitzpatrick, Mike Skinner, Colin Braun and Max Papis completed the top-10.

All 36 drivers who participated in qualifying will be in the race.

Qualifying was delayed almost an hour due to fog and mist at the 1.54-mile track.

The 200-mile race is scheduled to begin around 2:00 p.m. (et).

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds  
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.

Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.
