06/09/2010 - Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - NASCAR doled out huge penalties Wednesday to Front Row Motorsports in the wake of illegal valve stem caps that were used on Travis Kvapil's car last weekend during the Gillette Fusion ProGlide 500.
NASCAR fined Front Row Motorsports crew chief Steve Lane $100,000 and suspended him for 12 weeks. The organization also suspended Front Row Motorsports car chief Richard Bourgeois and tire specialist Michael Harrold for 12 weeks, and also docked Kvapil and car owner Doug Yates 150 points each.
Team owner Bob Jenkins appealed the harshness of the penalty.
"We take the rules of this sport very seriously, and we support NASCAR in its enforcement of those rules," Jenkins said in a statement. "It was not our intent to put unapproved valve stem caps on our car at Pocono, a track where such a maneuver would clearly not provide any advantage. We are conducting our own internal investigation to determine how those parts got into our inventory and onto our car last weekend.
"While we recognize we have to pay for our mistake, this was an unintentional, isolated incident. We plan to immediately submit an appeal through NASCAR's formal appeal process as outlined by the NASCAR rule book."
Because of the point deduction, Kvapil was knocked out of the top 35 in the Sprint Cup Series owner standings, meaning he'll have to qualify on speed and isn't guaranteed a spot for this Sunday's race at Michigan International Speedway.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday.

"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

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
