Autoracing Betting Lines

10/30/2011 - Martinsville, VA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tony Stewart gained huge ground in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship by winning Sunday's Tums Fast Relief 500 in dramatic fashion at Martinsville Speedway.

Stewart passed Jimmie Johnson for the lead just after a restart with three laps remaining and then held off a fierce challenge from Johnson to win his third Chase race this season. He won the first two playoff races in September -- Chicagoland and New Hampshire.

With the win, Stewart moved to within eight points of Carl Edwards, who hung on to the championship lead with a ninth-place finish. Edwards ran one lap behind for a good portion of the 500-lap race.

Johnson finished second, while Jeff Gordon rebounded from an early-race accident to finish third. Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin rounded out the top- five.

Harvick is now 21 points out of the lead. Brad Keselowski fell 27 markers behind after finishing 17th. Keselowski got spun around on the final lap.

Johnson, the five-time defending series champion, trails Edwards by 41 points with just three races to go. The series heads to Texas next weekend.

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."
