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.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
