10/27/2007 - Memphis, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Marcos Ambrose captured the pole for Saturday afternoon's Sam's Town 250 Busch Series race at the Memphis Motorsports Park. The No.59 Ford driver circled the 0.750-mile oval in 22.901 seconds (117.899 m.p.h.).
The pole victory was the first Ambrose's Busch career. He did win a Craftsman Truck Series pole at Kentucky last year.
Starting with Ambrose on the front row will be David Reutimann, who posted a time of 22.933 seconds.
IndyCar champion Dario Franchitti (23.013) and Jason Leffler (23.063) will make up row two.
Carl Edwards had to put the champagne on ice last week when an incident on lap 133 collected him and three others. It was the first time in Edwards' Busch Series career that he had back-to-back DNFs (did not finish).
Not to fear however, Edwards still holds a commanding 638-point lead over second-place Reutimann and 753 points over Kevin Harvick, the third-place driver and defending series champion.
Edwards can clinch the crown by leaving Memphis with a lead of 585 points or more over the second-place driver in the point standings.
The season's second half hasn't been kind to Edwards. In the first 15 races of the year, he posted four wins, 11 top-fives and 13 top-10s. However, in the 16 races since, he has failed to earn even one win and finished 20th or worse eight times. In fact, he has failed to finish on the lead lap in six of the last eight races.
Last year's race was won by Harvick, with Clint Bowyer and Edwards just behind.
The race is scheduled to drop the green flag at 3 p.m. (et).

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.
Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.
According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).
Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.
''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.
Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.
''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''
Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.
”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
