Autoracing Betting Lines

10/25/2011 - Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Penske Racing revealed on Tuesday that driver Will Power suffered a compression fracture of his fourth thoracic vertebra during the 15-car crash that claimed the life of Dan Wheldon in the October 16 IZOD IndyCar Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Power was taken to the University Medical Center in Las Vegas after complaining of lower back pain following the crash. He was evaluated and released hours later. There was no evidence of significant injuries at the time.

When Power underwent a further evaluation on Monday in Indianapolis, IndyCar's orthopedic specialist Dr. Terry Trammell determined the 30-year-old driver sustained the fracture in the accident. Trammell expects Power to recover from the injury with rest and rehabilitation.

Power will undergo another evaluation in the coming days. He hopes to begin testing the 2012 IndyCar in the coming weeks and be fully recovered for the start of next season.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
