Hamlin edges Busch for Nationwide pole at Richmond

Autoracing Betting Lines

09/11/2009 - Richmond, VA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Denny Hamlin will start on the pole for Friday's Virginia 529 College Savings 250 Nationwide Series race after knocking his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch from the top position in qualifying at Richmond International Raceway.

Hamlin, a native of nearby Chesterfield, VA, turned a lap around the 0.75-mile track at 124.384 m.p.h. (21.707 seconds) for his 13th career Nationwide pole, including his second at Richmond. His first pole here came in the 2007 spring race.

"I qualified on the pole here in the Nationwide Series before, and I think I was in the fence 30 laps in, so hopefully we'll have a different outcome this time."

Hamlin won at Richmond in May 2008.

Busch, the series points leader, qualified 0.04 seconds behind Hamlin to give JGR the front starting row.

Paul Menard will start third, followed by Clint Bowyer and Brad Keselowski.

Martin Truex Jr., who is making first Nationwide start this season, Mark Green, Scott Speed, Trevor Bayne and Greg Biffle will roll off sixth through 10th, respectively.

Carl Edwards, who trails Busch by 221 points, qualified a disappointing 39th. Edwards continues to drive with a broken right foot.

Derrike Cope, Casey Atwood, Morgan Shepherd and Chris Lawson did not qualify.

Today's 250-lap race is scheduled to begin around 7:30 p.m. (et).

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
