Race Joins Position From JR.

But nobody is hotter in the Sprint Cup garage right now than Kurt Busch, who won last Sunday's race in Sonoma, CA. Busch not only captured his first win of the 2011 season, but claimed his maiden victory on a road course as well. He has also won the pole in three of the last four races.

 

Busch is now hoping to pick up his first win in a points-paying race on a restrictor plate track (Daytona and Talladega).

 

Almost everyone (excluding the start and park guys) in the starting field at Daytona has a shot at winning. Trevor Bayne, a part-timer in Sprint Cup this season, proved that earlier in the year.

 

Bayne is entered in Saturday night's 400-mile race at Daytona, but he is not guaranteed a starting position. His No.21 Wood Brothers Racing team is currently 36th in owner points. Bayne will have to qualify on time to make the show.

 

Expect it to be another wild affair at Daytona.

 

The two-car breakaways also played a huge role in this year's Daytona 500, as well as the Budweiser Shootout and Gatorade qualifying events. Two-car tandems will no doubt be a factor again this weekend.

 

While the fans enjoy the two-car tandems, it's not well liked by some drivers, including Dale Earnhardt Jr.

 

The two-car drafts made for a thriller at Talladega in April. In a race that featured 88 lead changes among 26 drivers, Earnhardt Jr. partnered with his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, Jimmie Johnson, during the final laps and pushed Johnson to victory in what was an incredible finish.

 

Johnson crossed the finish line by only 0.002 seconds ahead of Clint Bowyer, tying the closest margin of victory in NASCAR's top series since the sanctioning body began using electronic timing and scoring in 1993. Ricky Craven nipped Kurt Busch by that same margin in the 2003 spring race at Darlington.

 

Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - It will be fireworks galore in NASCAR this Fourth of July weekend, as the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series run under the lights at Daytona International Speedway. NASCAR

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
