Blaney shows power in Busch qualifying

Autoracing Betting Lines

02/25/2007 - Fontana, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dave Blaney finished second in the Busch Series season opener last week at Daytona Beach, but this afternoon he went one step better, capturing the pole for Saturday's Stater Bros. 300 Busch Series race from the California Speedway. The No.10 Braun Racing Toyota circled the two- mile oval in 39.909 seconds (180.410 m.p.h.) and will be out front when the green flag drops tonight at about 7:30 p.m. (et).

The pole victory was Blaney's first of the season and seventh of his Busch career.

Starting next to the pole sitter will be Matt Kenseth who posted a second-best 39.970 seconds.

Jeff Burton (40.004) and Denny Hamlin (40.069) will start in the second row while Casey Mears and Daytona 500 winner Kevin Harvick make up row three.

Harvick won the 2007 Busch Series opener beating Blaney by 0.460 seconds for the 27th win of his career. Harvick and teammate Clint Bowyer led 43 of 120 laps finishing first and fourth, respectively.

Off the Daytona performance there is reason to think that Harvick can duplicate his 2006 effort when he won nine times and posted a mind-boggling 32 top-10s in 35 events.

In last year's Stater Bros. 300 Harvick finished eighth, well behind winner Greg Biffle. Biffle cruised to a 2.255-second win over Ryan Newman and loves the two-mile California Speedway. It was a race in which the top-11 finishers were all Nextel Cup regulars, but Biffle was easily the best. In both the Cup and Busch Series at Fontana, Biffle has collected four wins in the last three years.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
