11/11/2011 - Homestead, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, the wife of Vice President Joe Biden, will serve as Grand Marshals for the November 20 Sprint Cup Series season-ending race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The two women will offer the most famous words in racing, "Gentlemen, start your engines."
As part of their Joining Forces initiative, Mrs. Obama and Dr. Biden will recognize service members and military families from the local community during pre-race ceremonies for the Ford 400 and at a special luncheon.
The crowd will consist of 5,000 active duty and retired military personnel and families. Obama and Biden will invite a military family to join them in the command to start engines.
"We are honored that First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden will be joining us as we crown the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion,"track president Matthew Becherer said in a statement released on Friday. "Most importantly, we are pleased that they are both coming to Homestead-Miami Speedway to personally thank the men and women who sacrifice so much to ensure our freedom and allow us to enjoy events like Ford Championship Weekend."
The 400-mile race at Homestead will likely feature a showdown between Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart for the 2011 Sprint Cup championship. Heading into Sunday's penultimate event of the season at Phoenix International Raceway, Edwards holds just a three-point lead over Stewart.

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.
