05/05/2010 - Darlington, SC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Series: NASCAR Nationwide. Date: Friday, May 7. Race: Royal Purple 200. Site: Darlington Raceway. Track: 1.366-mile oval. Start time: 7:30 p.m. (et). Laps: 147. Miles: 200.8. 2009 winner: Matt Kenseth. Television: ESPN2. Radio: Motor Racing Network (MRN)/SIRIUS NASCAR Radio.
Brad Keselowski remained the points leader in the Nationwide Series after winning last Friday's race at Richmond. Earlier in the week, NASCAR docked a total of 50 points from Keselowski's lead after his car failed post-race inspection at Talladega, where he won his first race of the season
Keselowski enters this week's race at Darlington with a 59-point advantage over Kevin Harvick and 84 markers ahead of 2009 series champion Kyle Busch.
Penske Racing is making a strong statement in the early season as the team to beat in this year's Nationwide title race. Keselowski, in his first year with Penske, has won the last two races, while teammate Justin Allgaier recorded his first career victory in March at Bristol.
"These last two weeks have been pretty amazing," Keselowski said. "I knew when I made the move to Penske Racing last year that the potential was there for us to contend for wins and championships in the Nationwide Series, but I figured it would take a few more races for everyone to gel."
Allgaier is currently fourth in points (-180).
Keselowski will attempt to become the first driver in the series to win three consecutive races since Busch last did it in April 2008. Busch won at Texas, Phoenix and Mexico City before Tony Stewart ended his streak at Talladega. Keselowski has finished 11th, 15th and 36th in his first three races at Darlington.
Roush Fenway Racing has been the dominate team at Darlington, with team owner Jack Roush collecting 15 Nationwide wins there so far.
Mark Martin, Jeff Burton, Greg Biffle and Matt Kenseth have won for Roush at Darlington. Kenseth is the defending race winner.
"Darlington is a great race track, known for its history and unique layout," Kenseth said. "It's very fast and narrow, and the biggest challenge is getting around there as fast as possible without hitting the wall. Since they paved it a few years ago, it's a pretty difficult place to race. You need a really fast car, and you got to have the track position at the end of the race.
"We were fortunate enough to win last year's Nationwide Series race, and I'd like to get another good finish for this [team] Friday night in order to help them improve their position in the point standings."
For the second week in a row, Kenseth will drive the No.16 Ford in place of rookie Colin Braun, who has posted five DNFs already this season. Kenseth will have to qualify the car on time, since Roush's No.16 team is 31st in owner points.
Forty-six teams are on the preliminary entry list for the Royal Purple 200.

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.
