10/21/2011 - Talladega, AL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kyle Busch Motorsports will field a full-time entry in the Nationwide Series in 2012.

Driver/owner Kyle Busch revealed Friday at Talladega Superspeedway that his racing organization is transitioning into NASCAR's second-tier series. Busch said that a driver lineup, crew chief and sponsorship information will be announced at a later date. He did note that the team will use a Toyota Camry.

"We're excited about it," Busch said. "It's a great opportunity for myself and for the Kyle Busch Motorsports organization, for everybody that's there now, and for everybody that we have on the line to hire and bring over to foresee that program being successful."

KBM and NEMCO Motorsports (Joe Nemechek's team) joined forces to field an entry for Kimi Raikkonen in the May 28 Nationwide race at Charlotte. Raikkonen, a former Formula One world champion, started 27th and finished 22nd in that event, driving the No.87 Toyota.

Busch's team will continue to run its No.18 entry full time in the Camping World Truck Series next year.

"The opportunity has finally come that we can move up to the Nationwide Series, and we've wanted to do that at Kyle Busch Motorsports for a couple of years," Busch added. "We actually wanted to have two truck teams out there this year, and we've kind of done that. We've run part time with a second team. It's been good, but this just kind of takes us to that next level.

"We would like to make it a long-term partnership, that it helps out over time with NASCAR and with the [Nationwide] Series, and making sure that Kyle Busch Motorsports can stay going."

Busch plans on running in some Nationwide races with his team next year. He has driven the No.18 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing in 20 Nationwide events so far this season, winning eight of them.

The Sprint Cup and Camping World Truck Series are racing this weekend at Talladega. Nationwide is in the midst of a two-week break before resuming its schedule on November 5 at Texas.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''

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.
