Autoracing Betting Lines

07/10/2010 - Newton, IA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Austin Dillon became the first rookie driver in the Camping World Truck Series to claim three consecutive poles after winning Saturday's qualifying for the Lucas Oil 200 at Iowa Speedway.

Dillon, the 20-year-old grandson of NASCAR multi-team over Richard Childress, turned a lap of 135.263 m.p.h. around the 0.875-mile oval for his third pole in 12 truck races. He also won the pole at Michigan and Texas last month.

Aric Almirola qualified on the outside pole after posting a lap of 134.305 m.p.h. Stacy Compton took the third spot, while Brian Ickler and Johnny Sauter rounded out the top-five.

Greg Pursley, Ryan Sieg, Timothy Peters, Todd Bodine, the current points leader, and Matt Crafton were sixth through 10th, respectively, in qualifying.

Bodine enters Sunday's truck race at Iowa with a 55-point advantage over Almirola, who won three weeks ago at Michigan.

Mike Skinner, last year's race winner here, will start 15th, while Ron Hornaday Jr., the four-time and defending series champion, will roll off 19th.

Chris Lafferty was the only driver who failed to qualify.

The 200-lap truck race at Iowa is scheduled to start around 2 p.m. (et).

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."
