Autoracing Betting Lines

02/16/2007 - Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jack Sprague captured the pole for the first Craftsman Truck Series event of 2007. The No.60 Toyota circled the 2.5- mile superspeedway in 50.137 seconds (179.508 m.p.h.).

The pole victory was Sprague's first of the season and 30th of his truck career. He is just two pole wins behind Mike Skinner's series record 32 pole victories.

Starting alongside Sprague will be Carl Edwards who posted a time of 50.352 seconds.

Row two will consist of 2006 Series champion Todd Bodine (50.457) and Travis Kvapil (50.539).

The truck series was dominated by Toyota power in 2006 and there is no reason to think that it won't stay the same in 2007. Bodine won last year's title in the No.30 Germain Toyota, edging Johnny Benson by 127 points and David Reutimann by 136 points. All three drivers used a Toyota engine.

Benson will start 10th in the 36-truck field.

The race is set to begin on Friday at 8 p.m. (et).

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
