Autoracing Betting Lines
02/18/2012 - Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Martin Truex Jr. selected the pole position for the Budweiser Shootout during Friday night's random drawing at Daytona International Speedway.
Truex Jr., driver of the No.56 Toyota for Michael Waltrip Racing, was the 18th of 25 drivers to select his starting spot for Saturday's 75-lap preseason, non-points race at Daytona.
Kyle Busch picked the outside pole. Brad Keselowski will start third, followed by Jamie McMurray and David Ragan.
Kurt Busch, the defending race winner, Greg Biffle, Dale Earnhardt Jr., A.J. Allmendinger and Joey Logano will roll off sixth through 10th, respectively.
During the closing minutes of the first practice, scheduled late in the afternoon, a five-car crash occurred when Tony Stewart got into the rear of Kurt Busch and then turned him around coming out of turn three. Allmendinger, Keselowski and Kyle Busch were also caught up in the incident.
"I was pushing the 51 car [Kurt Busch], and he had to move a little bit, but I'm still the one pushing him, so I'm responsible for it," Stewart said.
Kurt Busch, making his debut in the No.51 Chevrolet for Phoenix Racing, will use a backup car.
"It was just a deal where Tony was trying to help, and we were just trying to learn the draft," he said. "A couple of slow cars were emerging in front of us, and I slid up to go around them, and I thought it was smooth, but I got turned around."
Allmendinger, Keselowski and Kyle Busch have also switched to their backup cars.
Stewart's No.14 team were hopeful to have his primary car repaired in time for the race.
Jeff Gordon managed to avoid the incident but did suffer minor damage to his car, which was quickly repaired.
Matt Kenseth led the way in the opening practice with a lap around the 2.5- mile superspeedway at 201.762 m.p.h.
The second and final practice, held in the evening, was curtailed due to rain. Just 12 drivers managed to turn a handful of laps in the opening minutes before the inclement weather forced NASCAR officials to halt action on the track.
Saturday's Budweiser Shootout is scheduled to start at 8:10 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.
