Johnson outruns Kurt Busch for New Hampshire win

Autoracing Betting Lines

06/27/2010 - Loudon, NH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jimmie Johnson passed Kurt Busch for the lead with less than two laps remaining to win Sunday's Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Johnson, who also won last weekend's road-course race at Sonoma, CA, lost the lead to Busch with eight laps to go when Busch made a bump and run move on the four-time defending Sprint Cup Series champion. Johnson, though, came storming back and reclaimed the top position for good with a lap and a half remaining.

Tony Stewart passed Busch on the final lap to finish second, while Busch ended up third. Jeff Gordon and points leader Kevin Harvick rounded out the top- five.

Johnson has now won five races this season, which places him in a tie with Denny Hamlin for most victories in the series. Hamlin finished 14th.

With the win, Johnson moved to within 105 points of Harvick.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s eighth-place finish put him just three points behind 12th-place Carl Edwards, who finished 25th, as nine races remain before the championship Chase begins in September at New Hampshire.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.

Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds

With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.

That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.

Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.

After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.

The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
