Autoracing Betting Lines
06/12/2010 - Sparta, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Joey Logano remained perfect at Kentucky Speedway by winning the pole for Saturday's Meijer 300 Nationwide Series race.
Logano smoked the competition with a blistering lap of 177.212 m.p.h. for his fourth pole of the season and the 11th of his Nationwide career. He qualified more than two miles per hour faster than his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate and closest competitor Brad Coleman, who will start on the outside pole.
"It's going to be interesting what our car is going to do during the race," Logano said. "I hope it's as good as we had for qualifying. That was a pretty impressive lap."
Logano has started on the pole and won the past two races at Kentucky. In just his third start, Logano claimed his first Nationwide win here in 2008.
Justin Allgaier had the same qualifying speed as Coleman (174.995 m.p.h.), but Allgaier will start third since his team is behind Coleman's in the series' owner points.
Josh Wise qualified fourth, while Scott Riggs took the fifth spot.
Mike Bliss, Reed Sorenson, Paul Menard, Coleman Pressley and Carl Edwards completed the top-10.
Points leader Brad Keselowski will start 25th.
Kenny Hendrick and Brian Keselowski failed to qualify.
The 300-mile race at Kentucky is scheduled to start around 8:00 p.m. (et).

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.
Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.
Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.
A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.
Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.
Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.
And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
