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.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
