Truck qualifying at Atlanta cancelled, Benson on pole

Autoracing Betting Lines

10/24/2008 - Hampton, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Inclement weather at the Atlanta Motor Speedway on Friday forced NASCAR officials to cancel qualifying for the E-Z Go 200 Craftsman Truck Series race.

Qualifying was originally scheduled for Saturday morning, but a revised schedule for the track calls for Truck Series practice early in the morning followed by Sprint Cup Series final practice.

Truck teams never had the opportunity to practice Friday because of poor weather conditions. Sprint Cup teams only had a few minutes of practice before the session was halted. Qualifying for that series was also cancelled.

By rule, points leader Johnny Benson will start on the pole position. Benson reclaimed the lead in the series last week after picking up the win at Martinsville.

Ron Hornaday, Jr., the defending series champion, will start on the outside pole.

Kyle Busch and Matt Crafton will make up row two, while Todd Bodine and Mike Skinner will start in row three.

Erik Darnell, Rick Crawford, Dennis Setzer and Ryan Newman will roll off six through 10th, respectively. Newman, the 2008 Daytona 500 champion, is making his first-ever truck start.

Benson currently holds a 65-point advantage over Hornaday with four races to go in the season.

Hornaday won the inaugural truck event at Atlanta in 2004 and has finished second in the last two races there.

Benson's track record at Atlanta is not as impressive as Hornaday's, as Benson has finished 28th or worse in three of the last four races there, although he finished third in last year's race.

The green flag for Saturday's race is scheduled to drop around 1:30 p.m. (et).

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
