Logano grabs pole for Nationwide race at Homestead

Autoracing Betting Lines

11/15/2008 - Homestead, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Joey Logano won the pole for Saturday's Nationwide Series season-ending Ford 300 at the Homestead-Miami Speedway. The No.20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota driver rounded the 1.5-mile oval in 31.962 seconds (168.951 m.p.h.).

The pole victory was Logano's third in 19 career Nationwide starts.

"I'm pretty excited about that," Logano said. "It was a good pick me up, and we needed that as a race team. We're going to go out there tonight and try to stay up there and get that (owner) championship."

The JGR No.20 team currently holds a 28-point owner lead over the Richard Childress Racing No.2 team with Clint Bowyer as their driver.

Logano, the 18-year-old NASCAR phenom, will move over to the Sprint Cup Series next year to replace Tony Stewart in Gibbs' No.20 car, as Stewart becomes co- owner and driver at Stewart-Haas Racing.

Starting alongside Logano will be Carl Edwards, who posted a time of 32.114 seconds. Edwards enters the season-finale 56 points behind Bowyer in the driver championship standings.

"Joey did a great job, and that was a great lap," Edwards said. "My Save-A-Lot crew did a really good job, but I probably didn't do the best job driving it. I think it's going to be a good race car."

Bowyer will start 13th.

"We've just been loose from the beginning," Bowyer said. "I think we'll be good in the race though. We qualified terrible at Texas, but drove up there pretty quick. Hopefully we can do the same thing here."

If Bowyer finishes eighth or better at Homestead, regardless of Edwards' performance, he will clinch his first series championship.

Bowyer finished 39th in his first Nationwide race at Homestead in 2004, but has finished eighth, ninth and 11th in the last three races here.

Edwards has finished second and fourth in his last two Nationwide events in South Florida.

David Ragan and Jeff Burton will start on the second row, while Jamie McMurray and Brad Keselowski will make up row three.

Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Denny Hamlin, Bryan Clauson and Mike Bliss will start seventh through 10th, respectively.

The green flag is scheduled to drop Saturday around 4:30 p.m. (et).

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
