Bayne claims Nationwide pole at ORP
Autoracing Betting Lines
07/24/2010 - Clermont, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Trevor Bayne won his second consecutive pole in the Nationwide Series by posting the fastest lap in Saturday's qualifying for the Kroger 200 at O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis.
Bayne turned a lap of 110.117 m.p.h. around the short 0.686-mile oval for his third career pole in the series. His first pole came one year ago at ORP.
Last Saturday at Gateway International Raceway, Bayne started on the pole and drove to a third-place finish in his No.99 Toyota for Michael Waltrip Racing.
"This is such a great experience to be able to sit on the pole two weeks in a row," Bayne said.
Steve Wallace will start alongside Bayne on the front row after a qualifying lap of 109.497 m.p.h.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. qualified third, followed by Paul Menard and Kyle Busch.
Aric Almirola, Colin Braun, Brad Keselowski, the current points leader, Justin Allgaier and Matt DiBenedetto completed the top-10.
Carl Edwards, who won last year's race at ORP, qualified 13th. Edwards also won at Gateway after he nudged Keselowski from behind and spun him into the wall coming out of the final turn of the last lap.
Earlier this week, NASCAR penalized Edwards with a 60-point loss, fined him $25,000 and placed him on probation until December 31 for aggressive driving. NASCAR also placed Keselowski on probation for the remainder of the year for his actions on the track at Gateway.
All 43 drivers who attempted qualifying made the field.
The 200-lap race at ORP is scheduled to start around 8:00 p.m. (et).

It's less than a month until the NHL hockey betting season opens at MySportsbook.com and preparations are underway for another battle in the race to hoist Lord Stanley's mug in 2007.
As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.
Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.

The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.
Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.
Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.
A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.
Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.
Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.
And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
