06/27/2010 - Loudon, NH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The IZOD IndyCar Series will return to New Hampshire Motor Speedway in July 2011, Indy Racing League and NHMS track officials announced on Sunday.

IRL chief executive officer Randy Bernard, Speedway Motorsports Inc. chairman and CEO Bruton Smith and NHMS general manager Jerry Gappens, as well as 2009 IndyCar champion Dario Franchitti, were among those present for the formal announcement, which was made hours before the start of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at the flat 1.058-mile oval.

"We're pleased to restore an Indy car short oval to the schedule to further increase our diversity of venues," Bernard said. ""As evident last weekend in Iowa, our cars produce tremendous racing on short ovals."

IndyCar competed at New Hampshire from 1996-98. Two-time NASCAR Cup champion Tony Stewart won the last IndyCar event here in '98.

"It will be a great track for us, similar to Milwaukee, with those long straights and those tight corners," Franchitti said. "I'm looking forward to racing here."

Last month, IRL officials reveal the City of Baltimore will host an IndyCar race for the first time on a temporary street circuit in the city's downtown area in August 2011.

IndyCar is off this weekend before they head to the Watkins Glen, NY road course on July 4.

On Saturday, IndyCar star Danica Patrick competed in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at New Hampshire, finishing 30th.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
