08/27/2008 - Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - NASCAR placed Kurt Busch and Carl Edwards on probation for the next six races of the Sprint Cup Series after the two traded intentional bumps following Saturday's Sharpie 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee.
Busch and Edwards, the top two drivers in the Sprint Cup standings, will be on probation starting at this Sunday's Chevy Rock & Roll 400 in Fontana, California. The probation will also cover races in Richmond, Virginia; Loudon, New Hampshire; Dover, Delaware; Kansas City, Kansas; and Talladega, Alabama.
The altercation on Saturday was set up when Edwards nudged Busch from behind with 31 laps to go. Busch got loose, allowing Edwards to move underneath him for the lead.
At the conclusion of the race, a frustrated Busch retaliated by intentionally bumping Edwards on the cool-down lap. Edwards, however, got the best of the post-race ruckus when he spun Busch around.
While Edwards celebrated in Victory Lane, Busch made a trip to the NASCAR hauler for a discussion with officials.
"He hit me in turn one, which got me a little bit loose," Busch said after the race. "Carl's gonna say he's sorry, he doesn't want to race that way; because he always does, you know, Mr. Ed-like. We'll take it and go on. We'll race him that way in the chase if that's the way he wants to race."
Busch is the current Sprint Cup Series points leader with 3,609. Edwards, with 3,397, trails by 212 points.

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory.
