09/29/2009 - Kansas City, KS (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Series: NASCAR Nationwide. Date: Saturday, October 3. Race: Kansas Lottery 300. Site: Kansas Speedway. Track: 1.5-mile oval. Start Time: 3:49 p.m. (et). Laps: 200. Miles: 300. Last year's winner: Denny Hamlin. Television: ESPN 2. Radio: Motor Racing Network (MRN)/SIRIUS XM Satellite.

Clint Bowyer comes home to Kansas after winning last Saturday's Dover 200. Bowyer, the 2008 Nationwide Series champion, picked up his second victory in just nine starts this season. He also won in July at Daytona.

Growing up in nearby Emporia, KS, Bowyer looks forward to his annual trip home.

"That's your hometown, and everybody wants a little piece of you whether it be family, friends or sponsors that have helped me through the years," Bowyer said. "It's a fun and exciting weekend. It's a long weekend, too. When the weekend is over, I'm worn out, but I've always had a good time."

Bowyer, running a limited Nationwide schedule for Richard Childress Racing in 2009, has yet to win at Kansas, but has finished second, fourth and fifth in his last three races there.

Two drivers have won a NASCAR national touring race at their home tracks so far this year, with Brad Keselowski taking the checkered flag for the Nationwide event at Michigan and Denny Hamlin driving into Victory Lane for the Sprint Cup race at Richmond.

Bowyer has never recorded consecutive wins in Nationwide competition.

Kyle Busch enters Kansas with a 211-point lead over Carl Edwards. Busch had the dominant car for the first half of the 200-lap race at Dover, but Bowyer came on strong shortly after the midway point and took over from there. Bowyer held off Mike Bliss and Brad Keselowski in a seven-lap shootout to the finish.

Busch finished fourth, while Edwards came in fifth. Busch became the second driver in NASCAR's second-tier series to lead more than 2,000 laps for the year. Sam Ard led a total of 2,099 laps during his 28-race championship season in 1984.

Last year, Denny Hamlin became the eighth different winner in as many Nationwide races at Kansas. Hamlin is not competing in Saturday's 300-mile event.

Fifty-two teams are on the preliminary entry list for the Kansas Lottery 300, including three former Kansas winners -- Joe Nemechek (2004), Kevin Harvick (2006) and Busch (2007).

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
