Briscoe fastest in qualifying at Watkins Glen
Autoracing Betting Lines
07/05/2008 -
Watkins Glen, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ryan Briscoe won the pole for Sunday's
Camping World Grand Prix at The Glen at Watkins Glen International. The No.6
Team Penske driver rounded the 3.37-mile road course in one minute, 29.3456
seconds (135.787 m.p.h.).
The pole victory was Briscoe's first IndyCar Series pole of the season and the
second of his IndyCar Series career. His first one came in August 2005 at
Sonoma, CA.
Starting alongside Briscoe will be former Formula 1 driver Justin Wilson who
recorded a speed of 135.734 m.p.h.
Ryan Hunter-Reay (135.348 m.p.h.) and Scott Dixon (135.285 m.p.h.) will start
in row two.
Oriol Servia and Tony Kanaan were the other two drivers running in the final
of the three-segment qualifying session at Watkins Glen. Servia and Kanaan
will start fifth and sixth, respectively.
The 12 quickest drivers, the top-six from each of the first two qualifying
groups, then competed for 15 minutes to eliminate six drivers for the final
segment.
Briscoe gave Team Penske their fourth consecutive pole at The Glen. Helio
Castroneves won the pole for Penske in the first three races there from 2005
to 2007. However, luck would not go Castroneves' way this year when his car
suffered mechanical problems after the first segment of qualifying. He'll
start from the rear of the 26-car field.
Other drivers of note and their starting positions: Marco Andretti (seventh),
Dan Wheldon (ninth) and Danica Patrick (14th). Andretti missed the final
segment by 0.002 seconds.
Dixon, the reigning Indianapolis 500 champion and series points leader, has
won all three races at Watkins Glen.
Last year, the Chip Ganassi driver completed the three-peat at The Glen, as he
cruised to a 6.2591 seconds win over Sam Hornish Jr. Castroneves led for the
first 19 laps, but was forced out due to contact on Turn 11. Dixon inherited
the lead and then traded the top spot with Vitor Meira, Dan Wheldon and Marco
Andretti, before regaining the advantage on lap 43. Dixon led the final 18
laps for his seventh career IndyCar win and first of four 2007 titles.
The green flag is scheduled to drop on Sunday around 3:45 p.m. (et).

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football Week Four betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
