07/03/2009 - Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - After a lengthy rain delay, Clint Bowyer won the pole for Friday's Subway Jalapeno 250 Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway.

Bowyer, the 2008 Nationwide champion, lapped the 2.5-mile oval at 180.701 m.p.h. (49.806 seconds) in his No.29 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet. He recorded his seventh career pole in the series, but his first since November 2007 at Phoenix.

David Ragan will start on the outside pole after posting a lap at 180.133 m.p.h. (49.963 seconds).

Kevin Harvick qualified third, followed by Brad Keselowski and David Gilliland.

Matt Kenseth, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kerry Earnhardt, Michael Annett and Morgan Shepherd completed the top-10.

Terry Cook, Brian Keselowski and Mike Wallace failed to qualify.

Qualifying was interrupted by a thundershower, forcing a delay of more than two hours for track drying efforts. Forty-four drivers made their qualifying attempts with Kerry Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr. still to go before rain fell on the track.

Today's race is scheduled to start around 8:00 p.m. (et).

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.
