Ambrose wins Nationwide pole at rainy Montreal

Autoracing Betting Lines

08/29/2009 - Montreal, Canada (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Marcos Ambrose prevailed during wet conditions to win Saturday's qualifying for the NAPA Auto Parts 200 Nationwide Series race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Ambrose turned a lap at the 2.71-mile, 14-turn street course at 80.905 m.p.h. in his No.47 JTG/Daugherty Racing Toyota for his second career Nationwide pole. His first pole came in October 2007 at Memphis.

The Aussie won the Nationwide road course event at Watkins Glen, NY earlier this month. He finished third in last year's race at Montreal.

Carl Edwards will start alongside Ambrose after securing the outside pole at 80.116 m.p.h.

Canadian Ron Fellows, the defending race winner, qualified third, and road- racing expert Boris Said took the fourth spot. Brad Coleman completed the top- five.

Jacques Villeneuve qualified sixth, followed by Justin Marks, Antonio Perez, Andrew Ranger and Paul Menard.

Current points leader Kyle Busch will start 12th. Busch holds a 248-point advantage over Edwards.

Two drivers failed to qualify -- Daryl Harr and Morgan Shepherd.

Qualifying was delayed for one hour due to inclement weather. NASCAR instructed teams to bolt rain tires on their cars prior to the session.

Last year, NASCAR ran its first-ever national series points event in the rain, but weather conditions deteriorated to the point where the race was cut 26 laps short of the 74-lap distance.

The weather forecast for Sunday's race, which is scheduled to start around 2:30 p.m. (et), calls for scattered showers with a 40 percent chance of rain.

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.
