NASCAR releases 2011 schedules for top three series

Autoracing Betting Lines

08/18/2010 - Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - NASCAR on Wednesday officially released its 2011 schedule for all three of its national touring series. As expected, there are several major changes to next year's schedule, particularly in the Sprint Cup Series.

The 36-race Sprint Cup schedule will feature two realigned events. For the first time in a decade, the series will add a new track to the schedule. Kentucky Speedway will host its inaugural race on July 9, while a second Kansas Speedway date will be held on June 5, the week after the 600-mile race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Phoenix International Raceway will move its first date to February 27, the week after the season-opening Daytona 500. PIR will replace Southern California's Auto Club Speedway, which will switch to later in the season on March 27. Texas Motor Speedway fills in the vacated Phoenix spot and will host its first night-time Sprint Cup race on April 9.

The 2011 "Chase for the Sprint Cup" championship -- the final 10 Cup races of the season -- will begin at Chicagoland Speedway on September 18. Chicagoland's previous race date was in early July, a slot that went to the realigned event at Kentucky. New Hampshire Motor Speedway, which previously had the first Chase date, will now have the second playoff race on September 25. The race weekends for Martinsville Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway during the Chase will swap, with Talladega running the week before Martinsville.

"The adjustments and realignment of the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup schedule will make for an exciting race season next year," NASCAR chairman and chief executive officer Brian France said in a statement. "The revised schedule provides better situated dates for the tracks, a more challenging lineup for the drivers and ultimately more intrigue for the fans."

A second race added to both Iowa Speedway and Chicagoland highlight the changes in next year's Nationwide Series schedule. Iowa will host its Nationwide dates on May 22 and August 6, while Chicagoland will be held on June 4 and September 17, which is the day before the Chase begins at that track.

The previous stand-alone event at Kentucky Speedway now will be part of the inaugural Sprint Cup race weekend on July 8.

Next year's Nationwide schedule will consist of 34 races, all featuring the new car that is being run a total of four times this season.

Twenty-four races on next year's Camping World Truck Series schedule have been revealed, with an additional race to be announced on a later date.

Phoenix's truck date will move to February. The Arizona track traditionally hosted the penultimate truck race in November. Darlington will switch from August to March, while Michigan will shift from June to August.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
