Newton, IA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Series: NASCAR Nationwide. Date: Saturday, July
31. Race: U.S. Cellular 250. Site: Iowa Speedway. Track: 0.875-mile oval.
Start time: 7:30 p.m. (et). Laps: 250. Miles: 218.75. 2009 winner: Brad
Keselowski. Television: ESPN 2. Radio: Motor Racing Network (MRN)/SIRIUS

While the Sprint Cup and Camping World Truck Series run at Pocono Raceway, the
Nationwide Series competes at Iowa Speedway. It's the second time NASCAR's
second-tier series races at the 0.875-mile oval.
Eight drivers -- Clint Bowyer, Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski,
Paul Menard, Michael McDowell, Joe Nemechek and Reed Sorenson -- will do the
Pocono/Iowa combo this weekend.
Keselowski currently holds a 205-point lead over Edwards.
Last Saturday at O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis, Edwards' 2nd-place
finish compared to an eight-place run for Keselowski allowed Edwards to trim
23 points from Keselowski's lead.
"We had a great race last week at O'Reilly Raceway Park and made up some
ground in the championship run; we need to build on that at Iowa," Edwards
said.
Keselowski is the defending race winner at Iowa.
When the series competed at Iowa for the first time one year ago, Keselowski
and his then crew chief, Tony Eury Sr., gambled on old tires. Keselowski
remained on the track, while most of the leaders pitted during a late-race
caution. He managed to pass Kyle Busch for the lead with nine laps to go and
then held off Busch for the win.
In addition to his race winnings, Keselowski collected a $75,000 bonus from
series title sponsor Nationwide Insurance for scoring the victory in the third
"Dash 4 Cash" event on the 2009 schedule. Full-time series regulars and part-
time/limited series-only regulars are those eligible for the insurance
company's bonus program. No driver earned the prize money at Nashville and
Kentucky earlier in the season.
In April, Harvick, who was then a full-time Nationwide competitor, won $25,000
in the first "Dash 4 Cash" race of the year at Nashville. Joey Logano wasn't
eligible for the bonus when he won in June at Kentucky, so the bonus has
rolled over to $50,000 for Iowa. Harvick and Busch will not eligible at Iowa,
as they will try to spoil the reward for the regulars.
"I'm pretty excited about going back to Iowa Speedway for the Nationwide
Series race," Harvick said. "Last year, we didn't have the finish we wanted
due to a parts failure, but I'm ready to go back and show what we can really
do at Iowa."
Forty-seven teams are on the preliminary entry list for the U.S. Cellular 250.

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."
