06/06/2010 - Fort Worth, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Six days after crashing in the Indianapolis 500, Ryan Briscoe from Team Penske bounced back in the IZOD IndyCar Series with an impressive win in Saturday's Firestone 550k at Texas Motor Speedway.
Briscoe, the pole sitter, led 102 of 228 laps, but had to hold off a hard- charging Danica Patrick in the closing laps. The Aussie finished 1.46 seconds ahead of Patrick for his first victory of the season and the sixth of his IndyCar career. He also gave team owner Roger Penske his fourth win in the last five races at Texas.
Patrick's second-place finish followed her sixth-place run in the Indy 500. Her Andretti Autosport teammate, Marco Andretti, finished third, while Target Chip Ganassi Racing drivers Scott Dixon and Dario Franchitti, the reigning Indy 500 champion, completed the top-five.
Franchitti appeared to be on his way to a second-straight victory after leading 86 laps, but he fell back in the field after a late-race round of pit stops. He took over the points lead after Penske's Will Power finished 14th. Power had led in the championship standings since the start of the season.
Rookie Simona de Silvestro suffered a minor burn on her right hand after she made hard contact with the wall and then her No.78 car caught on fire. Track safety crews quickly assisted in getting her out of the heavily damaged car.
Helio Castroneves, the defending race winner, was involved in a crash with Mario Moraes during the mid-stages and ended up finishing 20th.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
| Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame) Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma) Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State) Michael Bush (RB, Louisville) Steve Slaton (RB, West Virginia) Brian Brohm (QB, Louisville) Chris Leak (QB, Florida) Mike Hart (RB, Michigan) Ted Ginn (WR, Ohio State) Darius Walker (RB, Notre Dame) Drew Tate (QB, Iowa) Marshawn Lynch (RB, Cal) Kenny Irons (RB, Auburn) Chad Henne (QB, Michigan) Kyle Wright (QB, Miami) Drew Stanton (QB, Michigan State) Kenneth Darby (RB, Alabama) JaMarcus Russell (QB, LSU) Drew Weatherford (QB, Florida State) Blake Mitchell (QB, South Carolina) Reggie Ball (QB, Georgia Tech) |
