Spoiler replaces rear wing starting with Martinsville

Autoracing Betting Lines

03/17/2010 - Concord, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - NASCAR will replace the rear wing with the spoiler on the current Sprint Cup Series cars, beginning with next week's race at Martinsville Speedway.

During a news conference held on Wednesday at Charlotte Motor Speedway, NASCAR's vice president of competition Robin Pemberton confirmed the change from the wing to the spoiler will take place at Martinsville.

"[Monday] morning, the 83 spoilers went out the door to teams," Pemberton said. "Things are going well, so we're looking forward to Martinsville."

On Tuesday, 25 Sprint Cup teams participated in a one-day test session at Talladega Superspeedway to determine the potential size of carburetor restrictor-plate openings and familiarize drivers with the new spoiler on the car.

The wing has been a fixture of the current car -- also known as the Car of Tomorrow (COT) -- since its debut three years ago at Bristol, where the series runs later this week.

Teams had raised concerns about the wing, since it has reduced downforce on the cars. The spoiler was used on the previous cars.

"I think that we've had some really good tests over the winter time as it relates to spoiler implementation," Pemberton said. "The setup that we are going to come back with in regards to the spoiler, many of the teams already have a month under their belts with testing at various places around the country. They've got some experience, and they are not coming in totally blind. I think we're going to see what we got in front of us for the rest of the year as it relates to the spoiler."

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
