Autoracing Betting Lines

07/23/2010 - Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - David Reutimann has signed a multi-year contract extension with Michael Waltrip Racing to remain as driver of the No.00 Toyota through the 2012 Sprint Cup Series season.

Reutimann and team owner Michael Waltrip made the announcement Friday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the site of this weekend's Brickyard 400. His primary sponsor, Aaron's, will increase its sponsorship with the team from 24 to 30 races in 2010. Aaron's will remain with Reutimann for 30 races in both the 2011 and '12 seasons.

"I'm glad both Michael Waltrip Racing and Aaron's want to keep me around," the 40-year-old Reutimann said. "I've been asked about my contract for the last month, and we've had a handshake agreement, but now it's done, and I'm glad I can finally talk about it. I'm thrilled."

Reutimann picked up his second career Sprint Cup victory two weeks ago at Chicagoland. He is currently 15th in the point standings. Reutimann gave MWR its first Cup win in May 2009 in the rain-shortened 600-mile race at Charlotte. He has been with Waltrip's team since the start of the 2007 season.

"We never wavered on wanting to extend David and neither did Aaron's," Waltrip said. "David and Aaron's are like family to me. They've both been a large part of Michael Waltrip Racing since the very beginning and have stuck with us through thick and thin."

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
