NASCAR releases 2011 schedules for top three seriesAutoracing Betting Lines08/18/2010 - Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - NASCAR on Wednesday officially released its 2011 schedule for all three of its national touring series. As expected, there are several major changes to next year's schedule, particularly in the Sprint Cup Series. The 36-race Sprint Cup schedule will feature two realigned events. For the first time in a decade, the series will add a new track to the schedule. Kentucky Speedway will host its inaugural race on July 9, while a second Kansas Speedway date will be held on June 5, the week after the 600-mile race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Phoenix International Raceway will move its first date to February 27, the week after the season-opening Daytona 500. PIR will replace Southern California's Auto Club Speedway, which will switch to later in the season on March 27. Texas Motor Speedway fills in the vacated Phoenix spot and will host its first night-time Sprint Cup race on April 9. The 2011 "Chase for the Sprint Cup" championship -- the final 10 Cup races of the season -- will begin at Chicagoland Speedway on September 18. Chicagoland's previous race date was in early July, a slot that went to the realigned event at Kentucky. New Hampshire Motor Speedway, which previously had the first Chase date, will now have the second playoff race on September 25. The race weekends for Martinsville Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway during the Chase will swap, with Talladega running the week before Martinsville. "The adjustments and realignment of the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup schedule will make for an exciting race season next year," NASCAR chairman and chief executive officer Brian France said in a statement. "The revised schedule provides better situated dates for the tracks, a more challenging lineup for the drivers and ultimately more intrigue for the fans." A second race added to both Iowa Speedway and Chicagoland highlight the changes in next year's Nationwide Series schedule. Iowa will host its Nationwide dates on May 22 and August 6, while Chicagoland will be held on June 4 and September 17, which is the day before the Chase begins at that track. The previous stand-alone event at Kentucky Speedway now will be part of the inaugural Sprint Cup race weekend on July 8. Next year's Nationwide schedule will consist of 34 races, all featuring the new car that is being run a total of four times this season. Twenty-four races on next year's Camping World Truck Series schedule have been revealed, with an additional race to be announced on a later date. Phoenix's truck date will move to February. The Arizona track traditionally hosted the penultimate truck race in November. Darlington will switch from August to March, while Michigan will shift from June to August. 2011 NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES SCHEDULE Date Site Feb. 12 Budweiser Shootout at Daytona, Daytona International Speedway* Feb. 20 Daytona International Speedway Feb. 27 Phoenix International Raceway March 6 Las Vegas Motor Speedway March 20 Bristol Motor Speedway March 27 Auto Club Speedway April 3 Martinsville Speedway April 9 Texas Motor Speedway April 17 Talladega Superspeedway April 30 Richmond International Raceway May 7 Darlington Raceway May 15 Dover International Speedway May 21 NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race, Charlotte Motor Speedway* May 29 Charlotte Motor Speedway June 5 Kansas Speedway June 12 Pocono Raceway June 19 Michigan International Speedway June 26 Infineon Raceway July 2 Daytona International Speedway July 9 Kentucky Speedway July 17 New Hampshire Motor Speedway July 31 Indianapolis Motor Speedway Aug. 7 Pocono Raceway Aug. 14 Watkins Glen International Aug. 21 Michigan International Speedway Aug. 27 Bristol Motor Speedway Sept. 4 Atlanta Motor Speedway Sept. 10 Richmond International Raceway Sept. 18 Chicagoland Speedway Sept. 25 New Hampshire Motor Speedway Oct. 2 Dover International Speedway Oct. 9 Kansas Speedway Oct. 15 Charlotte Motor Speedway Oct. 23 Talladega Superspeedway Oct. 30 Martinsville Speedway Nov. 6 Texas Motor Speedway Nov. 13 Phoenix International Raceway Nov. 20 Homestead-Miami Speedway * Denotes non-points event. 2011 NASCAR NATIONWIDE SERIES SCHEDULE Date Site Feb. 19 Daytona International Speedway Feb. 26 Phoenix International Raceway March 5 Las Vegas Motor Speedway March 19 Bristol Motor Speedway March 26 Auto Club Speedway April 8 Texas Motor Speedway April 16 Talladega Superspeedway April 23 Nashville Superspeedway April 29 Richmond International Raceway May 6 Darlington Raceway May 14 Dover International Speedway May 22 Iowa Speedway May 28 Charlotte Motor Speedway June 4 Chicagoland Speedway June 18 Michigan International Speedway June 25 Road America July 1 Daytona International Speedway July 8 Kentucky Speedway July 16 New Hampshire Motor Speedway July 23 Nashville Superspeedway July 30 O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis Aug. 6 Iowa Speedway Aug. 13 Watkins Glen International Aug. 20 Circuit Gilles Villeneuve Aug. 26 Bristol Motor Speedway Sept. 3 Atlanta Motor Speedway Sept. 9 Richmond International Raceway Sept 17 Chicagoland Speedway Oct. 1 Dover International Speedway Oct. 8 Kansas Speedway Oct. 14 Charlotte Motor Speedway Nov. 5 Texas Motor Speedway Nov. 12 Phoenix International Raceway Nov. 19 Homestead-Miami Speedway 2011 NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES SCHEDULE Date Site Feb. 18 Daytona International Speedway Feb. 25 Phoenix International Raceway March 12 Darlington Raceway April 2 Martinsville Speedway April 22 Nashville Superspeedway May 13 Dover International Speedway May 20 Charlotte Motor Speedway June 4 Kansas Speedway June 10 Texas Motor Speedway July 16 Iowa Speedway July 22 Nashville Superspeedway July 29 O'Reilly Raceway Park Aug. 6 Pocono Raceway Aug. 20 Michigan International Speedway Aug. 24 Bristol Motor Speedway Sept. 2 Atlanta Motor Speedway Sept. 16 Chicagoland Speedway Sept. 24 New Hampshire Motor Speedway Oct. 1 Kentucky Speedway Oct. 15 Las Vegas Motor Speedway Oct. 22 Talladega Superspeedway Oct. 29 Martinsville Speedway Nov. 4 Texas Motor Speedway Nov. 18 Homestead-Miami Speedway Note: one additional Camping World Truck Series date to be added.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details. According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800). Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund. ''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.'' Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby. ''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.'' Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year. ”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?'' For complete odds on the Kentucky Derby, visit MySportsbook.com.

SPORTS BETTINGNFL Football Betting OnlineIn terms of sports wagering, the NFL is "the most popular game in town." The explanation behind that is easy. In sportsbooks, this is usually done with efficiency by charging the losing bettors 10% extra - in effect, bettors are laying 11/10 on those games. So they are actually betting $110 to win $100. If they lose, they pay the "vig." If they win, they simply collect. Note: Monday night game will be picked Monday. Lines used are from football betting odds . |
