02/19/2012 - Daytona Beach, FL Sportsbook Betting Lines) - NASCAR's eligibility requirements for the 2013 Budweiser Shootout at Daytona International Speedway is returning to its roots.
The sanctioning body announced on Sunday -- prior to qualifying for the February 26 Daytona 500 -- the field for next year's preseason, non-points race will consist of pole winners in the Sprint Cup Series this season as well as previous winners of the Budweiser Shootout. The eligibility format will be the same one used from 1979 through 2008.
"Fans have expressed their desire to see this event return to its original eligibility rules," said Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR's senior vice president of racing operations. "We listened and decided it would be best to return to the eligibility rules of years past, adding further meaning to pole qualifying for each NASCAR Sprint Cup race."
The pole winner for the Daytona 500 will earn a spot in next year's Budweiser Shootout. Last night, Kyle Busch locked up a position in the field with his thrilling victory in the Shootout. Busch bounced back from two near wrecks and then made a last-lap pass on reigning series champion Tony Stewart. He beat Stewart to the finish line by 0.013 seconds, making it the closest margin in the history of that event.
Eighteen different drivers won a pole in NASCAR's premier series last season.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
