Fort Worth, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - NASCAR has banned Kyle Busch from
participating in this weekend's Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series race at Texas
Motor Speedway following his intentional wrecking of Ron Hornaday Jr. in
Friday night's Camping World Truck Series event.
Busch retaliated against Hornaday Jr. one lap after the two wrecked. Hornaday
bumped into Busch while they were battling hard for position on lap 14. The
two then made contact with the wall.
During the caution, Busch chased down Hornaday and punted the 53-year-old
driver hard into the wall. Hornaday wound up finishing 34th and saw his hopes
of winning a record-extending fifth championship in the Truck Series come to
an end.
NASCAR officials immediately parked Busch for the remainder of the truck race.
He was summoned to the NASCAR hauler for a discussion with officials following
the event.
Busch met with officials again prior to Saturday morning's Sprint Cup
practice. He was then informed of his suspension in Saturday's 300-mile
Nationwide event and Sunday's 500-mile Sprint Cup race.
Busch is one of the 12 drivers in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship
field. He is currently seventh in the Chase standings, 57 points behind leader
Carl Edwards.
Michael McDowell will drive Busch's No.18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota in the
Sprint Cup race.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds
Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.
Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.
Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds
With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.
That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.
Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.
After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.
The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
