Race Sprint Pound Claim On Year

But nobody is hotter in the Sprint Cup garage right now than Kurt Busch, who won last Sunday's race in Sonoma, CA. Busch not only captured his first win of the 2011 season, but claimed his maiden victory on a road course as well. He has also won the pole in three of the last four races.

 

"That's been big on my list over the years," Busch said. "I really want to get one of those plate wins. We had a good Speedweeks at Daytona [in February]. Now I want to go there and get the big July 4th win."

 

Almost everyone (excluding the start and park guys) in the starting field at Daytona has a shot at winning. Trevor Bayne, a part-timer in Sprint Cup this season, proved that earlier in the year.

 

One day after turning 20 years old, Bayne became the youngest driver ever to win the Daytona 500. He inherited the lead when NASCAR penalized then-leader David Ragan for changing his lane position just before the restart in the first of two green-white-checkered attempts. Bayne then held off Carl Edwards during the final two-lap overtime finish to win his first race in just his second series start.

 

Several records were broken in the February 20 Daytona 500, thanks in part to the newly-paved surface at the 2.5-mile superspeedway. The race featured a record 74 lead changes among 22 different leaders.

 

The two-car breakaways also played a huge role in this year's Daytona 500, as well as the Budweiser Shootout and Gatorade qualifying events. Two-car tandems will no doubt be a factor again this weekend.

 

Harvick won the 400-mile race at Daytona one year ago. He is also the 2007 Daytona 500 champion.

 

"I don't enjoy the two-car draft, because when I push somebody, I can't see around him," Earnhardt Jr. said. "I would like to be in control of my own destiny all the time."

 

Johnson crossed the finish line by only 0.002 seconds ahead of Clint Bowyer, tying the closest margin of victory in NASCAR's top series since the sanctioning body began using electronic timing and scoring in 1993. Ricky Craven nipped Kurt Busch by that same margin in the 2003 spring race at Darlington.

FOOTBALL BETTING : Cassel Signs Contract

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.

NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
