IndyCar wraps up road/street course schedule at Sonoma

Sonoma, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Series: IZOD IndyCar. Date: Sunday, August 22.
Race: Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma. Site: Infineon Raceway. Track: 2.303-mile,
12-turn road course. Start Time: 5:45 p.m. (et). Laps: 75. Miles: 172.7. 2009
winner: Dario Franchitti. Television: VERSUS. Radio: IMS Radio Network/SIRIUS
XM Satellite.
The IZOD IndyCar Series will run its ninth and final road/street course race
of the season this weekend at Infineon Raceway.
Last week at Mid-Ohio, Will Power's second-place finish allowed him to claim
the Mario Andretti Trophy for clinching the series' first-ever road/street
course championship. Power has won four course events so far this season --
Sao Paulo, Brazil; St. Petersburg, FL; Watkins, NY and Toronto.
The Team Penske driver currently holds a 41-point lead over defending series
champion Dario Franchitti and an 82-point advantage over Franchitti's Chip
Ganassi Racing teammate Scott Dixon.
One year ago, Power's season came to an abrupt end at Sonoma, where he
sustained multiple injuries during a practice crash. Power suffered two broken
vertebrae and a concussion when his car hit the stalled car of Nelson
Philippe, who spun exiting the blind, downhill corner. Philippe also suffered
a concussion, along with an open fracture to his left foot.
Indy Racing League and track officials recently have made several safety
improvements to help prevent serious crashes, like the one of Power and
Philippe's, at the 2.303-mile, 12-turn course in Northern California.
Thirteen IndyCar drivers, including Power, participated in a test session at
Sonoma last week. Power topped the overall speed charts with a lap of one
minute, 17.46 seconds.
"It's nice to be back, actually," Power said. "I was a little nervous heading
up over that hill (at Turn 3A) a couple of times, for sure. But the track has
done a fantastic job of making sure that everyone is aware if someone does
spin. If there is a car sitting up and over the top, there's a lot of lights
and plenty of warning before you get there now.
"I enjoy this track. It's very technical and one of the better road courses we
come to, so I'd like to come back here and I'd love to win."
There have been five different winners in as many races at Sonoma. Franchitti
is the defending race winner. Helio Castroneves (2008), Dixon (2007), Marco
Andretti (2006) and Tony Kanaan (2005) also have won here.
After Sonoma, the series will run its final four races on ovals.
The October 2 season-finale at Homestead will determine the oval titleholder
and the overall IndyCar champion.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
