07/02/2010 - Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brad Keselowski will start on the pole for Friday night's Subway Jalapeno 250, in what will mark the first race for the new Nationwide Series car at Daytona International Speedway.

Keselowski, the current points leader, turned a lap of 183.031 m.p.h. around the 2.5-mile superspeedway in his sporty looking Dodge Challenger for his fourth pole of the season and the seventh of his Nationwide career. He also won the pole for last week's race at New Hampshire.

"It's just a great car," Keselowski said. "Even the backup car was good enough to be on the front row. It's just an awesome team, and it's really coming together great. It was a solid run, and I cant' think of any better place to start than the front row."

Keselowski's teammate, Park Kligerman, qualified second after posting a lap of 182.242 m.p.h.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. will start third in his one-time deal of driving the No.3 Wrangler Chevrolet, which was made famous by his father, Dale Earnhardt.

"Yeah, I'm really happy with that," Earnhardt Jr. said of his qualifying run. "I want to thank Wrangler and everybody for putting this deal together. To be in this race car, I'm really proud to be driving it and just happy for this team."

Series regular Justin Allgaier qualified fourth, while Kyle Busch, who leads the series with six race wins so far this season, took the fifth spot.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Greg Sacks, Ryan Newman, Kevin Harvick and Joey Logano completed the top-10.

Sacks, who is driving the No.88 Chevrolet for JR Motorsports, is celebrating the 25th anniversary of his first and only Cup victory, which came in the July race at Daytona.

With regards to the new Nationwide car, Ford will showcase its popular Mustang, while Chevrolet will bring a new model of its Impala, and Toyota will keep its standard version of the Camry.

Carl Long was the only driver who failed to qualify.

The 250-mile race at Daytona is scheduled to start around 8:00 p.m.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
