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).

Football Betting: Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.

Bet on NFL Football

Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.

Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.

Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.

Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.

All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.

A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
