Autoracing Betting Lines

02/22/2008 - Fontana, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ron Hornaday Jr. will start from the pole for Saturday afternoon's San Bernadino County 200 Craftsman Truck Series race at the newly named Auto Club Speedway at Southern California (formerly California Speedway). The No.33 Kevin Harvick Inc. Chevrolet gets the pole after rain cancelled all track activities for the day.

By virtue of the 2008 NASCAR rulebook, the starting grid was set based on 2007 owner points.

Mike Skinner will start alongside Hornaday Jr.

Johnny Benson and Todd Bodine are in row two.

In the season opener, 2006 series champion Bodine held off Kyle Busch for the victory. But a 25-point penalty assessed in the middle of the week leaves Bodine tied with Kyle Busch and Benson for the championship lead.

Skinner is the defending champion in the San Bernadino County 200. It was the first of three consecutive wins in 2007 that propelled him to a big early season lead which he eventually lost to Hornaday Jr.

"I am definitely looking forward to California," said Skinner. "Last year was a great year for the fans to watch it come down to the end, but I think this year should be even better."

The race is set to drop the green flag on Saturday at 3 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."
