Autoracing Betting Lines
10/16/2011 - Las Vegas, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former IZOD IndyCar Series champion and two- time Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon died from injuries sustained in a horrifying 15-car crash during Sunday's 300-mile season-finale race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He was 33 years old.
Wheldon, who captured his series title in 2005 and won his second Indianapolis 500 five months ago, was fatally injured after his car became airborne. The vehicle then appeared to hit the outside wall and catch the fence along the backstretch, and erupted into flames. The incident occurred after Wade Cunningham ran into the back of J.R. Hildebrand, sending Hildebrand's car airborne and triggering the crash.
IndyCar chief executive officer Randy Bernard made the announcement of Wheldon's death roughly two hours after the accident occurred.
"IndyCar is sad to announce that Dan Wheldon passed away from unsurvivable injuries," Bernard said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with his family today."
Bernard also announced the race would not finish. Shortly after, drivers made a five-lap salute to Wheldon.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.
Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.
"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
