12/01/2011 -
Mooresville, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brad Keselowski has agreed to a multi-year
contract extension with Penske Racing.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the team also extended the contract
of crew chief Paul Wolfe.
"The winning combination of Brad Keselowski and Paul Wolfe has been terrific
for Penske Racing, and we are excited to announce that they will continue to
work together," said team owner Roger Penske. "With one NASCAR championship
and numerous wins in both the Nationwide Series and the Cup Series to their
credit, this has proven to be a special pairing. Although Brad, Paul and the
No.2 team fell short of winning the Cup Series title this season, we know they
will continue to be championship contenders for years to come."
Keselowski and Wolfe won the Nationwide championship for Penske in 2010. Wolfe
was named the crew chief for Keselowski and the No.2 car in the Sprint Cup
Series for 2011, and the duo picked up three victories on the way to a fifth-
place finish in the final standings.
"It's great to know that Paul and I will continue to work together to bring
wins and championships to Penske Racing and its sponsors," said Keselowski,
who first joined Penske Racing for the final three races of the 2009 season.
"We've definitely built something special here with this team, and we'll
continue to get better to reach our goals."
Over the course of the last two seasons, Keselowski and Wolfe have teamed to
produce nine wins, six pole victories and 36 top-five finishes across the
Nationwide and Cup Series.

Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds
Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.

Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
