NASCAR cancels 2009 testing at sanctioned tracks

Autoracing Betting Lines

11/14/2008 - Homestead, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - In an effort to cut costs for teams, NASCAR announced it is banning testing at its sanctioned tracks for the 2009 season.

NASCAR informed teams Friday morning at the Homestead-Miami Speedway, where the Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Craftsman Truck Series will wrap up their seasons.

The ban includes pre-season testing for the Daytona 500, and it means teams will not be permitted to test at any track where NASCAR's national touring series compete.

"We're going to need to react to that quickly because the budgets are being set for each team," NASCAR chairman and CEO Brian France said Tuesday during a conference call. "It will be comprehensive if we go as aggressive as some have suggested, including ourselves. To be as aggressive as we can take cost out of the system."

Teams can spend up to $100,000 each day testing a car during a session.

The ban does not prevent teams from testing at non-sanctioned tracks.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
