01/09/2012 - Spartanburg, SC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - In addition to his full-time Sprint Cup Series schedule, Kurt Busch will compete in selected Nationwide Series races for Phoenix Racing during the 2012 season.
The team noted in its news release on Monday that Busch will race in "all major events" in Nationwide this year. He will compete in next month's season- opener at Daytona. No other dates have been announced at this time.
"Everyone at Phoenix Racing is excited about competing on the Nationwide circuit this year," Steve Barkdoll, general manager of Phoenix Racing, said in a team statement. "Our Nationwide Series team is a proven, winning organization, and we're looking forward to Busch continuing the tradition. This is a great opportunity for a company to partner with a top-notch program."
Last month, Busch signed with Phoenix Racing for the upcoming Sprint Cup season after he parted ways with Penske Racing.
Phoenix Racing has collected 12 wins and 150 top-10 finishes since it entered Nationwide competition in 1989. Busch has three Nationwide victories so far, with his most recent win coming last August at Watkins Glen, NY, where he substituted for the injured Brad Keselowski.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
