Dixon reclaims points lead with Motegi win

Autoracing Betting Lines

09/19/2009 - Motegi, Japan (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Scott Dixon gave his bid for a second straight IndyCar Series championship a huge boost by winning Saturday's Indy Japan 300 in dominating fashion at Twin Ring Motegi.

Dixon, the pole sitter, capitalized on Ryan Briscoe's costly pit road accident midway through the race. He led a race-high 139 laps and easily held off his Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Dario Franchitti at the finish for his series- leading fifth victory of the season.

Briscoe lost control of his car after he left his pit stall and slammed into the inside wall. The Team Penske driver spent 15 laps on pit road for repairs before ending up with a disappointing 18th-place finish.

Dixon will carry a five-point lead over Franchitti and an eight-point advantage over Briscoe into the season-finale on October 10 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
