Bayne On Win JR.

Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Series: NASCAR Sprint Cup. Date: Saturday, July 2. Race: Coke Zero 400. Site: Daytona International Speedway. Track: 2.5-mile tri-oval. Start time: 7:30 p.m. (et). Laps: 160. Miles: 400. 2010 Winner: Kevin Harvick. Television: TNT. Radio: Motor Racing Network (MRN) /SIRIUS NASCAR Radio. It's definitely hot and humid in Central Florida when the Sprint Cup Series returns to Daytona International Speedway for its annual "mid-summer classic."

 

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

 

Busch won the Budweiser Shootout and first Gatorade Duel qualifying race before finishing fifth in this year's Daytona 500. He finished second in the 2003, '05 and '08 Daytona 500s.

 

One day after turning 20 years old, Bayne became the youngest driver ever to win the Daytona 500. He inherited the lead when NASCAR penalized then-leader David Ragan for changing his lane position just before the restart in the first of two green-white-checkered attempts. Bayne then held off Carl Edwards during the final two-lap overtime finish to win his first race in just his second series start.

 

Several records were broken in the February 20 Daytona 500, thanks in part to the newly-paved surface at the 2.5-mile superspeedway. The race featured a record 74 lead changes among 22 different leaders.

 

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.

 

"I don't enjoy the two-car draft, because when I push somebody, I can't see around him," Earnhardt Jr. said. "I would like to be in control of my own destiny all the time."

 

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.

Two playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.

New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.

His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.

HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.

The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.

RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.

First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.

The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.

These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.

New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
