Ambrose wins Nationwide pole at rainy Montreal

Autoracing Betting Lines

08/29/2009 - Montreal, Canada (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Marcos Ambrose prevailed during wet conditions to win Saturday's qualifying for the NAPA Auto Parts 200 Nationwide Series race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Ambrose turned a lap at the 2.71-mile, 14-turn street course at 80.905 m.p.h. in his No.47 JTG/Daugherty Racing Toyota for his second career Nationwide pole. His first pole came in October 2007 at Memphis.

The Aussie won the Nationwide road course event at Watkins Glen, NY earlier this month. He finished third in last year's race at Montreal.

Carl Edwards will start alongside Ambrose after securing the outside pole at 80.116 m.p.h.

Canadian Ron Fellows, the defending race winner, qualified third, and road- racing expert Boris Said took the fourth spot. Brad Coleman completed the top- five.

Jacques Villeneuve qualified sixth, followed by Justin Marks, Antonio Perez, Andrew Ranger and Paul Menard.

Current points leader Kyle Busch will start 12th. Busch holds a 248-point advantage over Edwards.

Two drivers failed to qualify -- Daryl Harr and Morgan Shepherd.

Qualifying was delayed for one hour due to inclement weather. NASCAR instructed teams to bolt rain tires on their cars prior to the session.

Last year, NASCAR ran its first-ever national series points event in the rain, but weather conditions deteriorated to the point where the race was cut 26 laps short of the 74-lap distance.

The weather forecast for Sunday's race, which is scheduled to start around 2:30 p.m. (et), calls for scattered showers with a 40 percent chance of rain.

FOOTBALL BETTING : Cassel Signs Contract

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.

NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
