DARLINGTON, S.C. -- The Tide Ride, the Busch Beer car and the bright red Coca-Cola machine. All locked in fans minds and NASCAR history -- and all back on display at Darlington Raceways latest throwback weekend.Sprint Cup drivers and teams have gone all out to dress up for the Southern 500 on Sunday night, pulling out beloved paint schemes to honor stock car racings colorful, vibrant past.Ive got my helmet ready to throw, joked defending Darlington winner Carl Edwards, wholl sport a tribute to retiring -- and fiery -- Tony Stewart and his Home Depot car from the three-time series champs rookie season in 1999.Matt Kenseth, Edwards teammate at Joe Gibbs Racing, will bring back the Tide car that was driven to victory lane 20 times between 1987 and 2006 by icons like Hall of Famer Darrell Waltrip, Ricky Rudd and Ricky Craven.Stewart will drive the red-and-gold Coca-Cola car patterned like the one Bobby Allison steered to victory at the Southern 500 in 1971 and 1972.Stewart said hes been backed by the beverage company for some time and has taken part in many unique promotions on their behalf. But this is definitely my favorite, said Stewart, wholl make his final start at Darlington.In all, 36 of 40 race teams will feature some type of paint scheme to honor NASCARs past, said Darlington president Kerry Tharp.Its something everyone has wanted to do, said Tharp, named to his post in June.No matter the schemes, expect the same contenders to run up front at the track Too Tough To Tame.Kevin Harvick, who won two weeks ago at Bristol, starts up front as the field was lined up by owners points. Hurricane Hermine swamped through South Carolina on Friday to wipe out all track activities. NASCAR eliminated Saturday qualifying to give teams two full practices.Take plenty of pictures of the throwback cars before they hit the track because many will look like machines destined for the junkyard after a few laps on NASCARs oldest superspeedway.It is pretty edgy, said Jamie McMurray, who holds the 16th and final spot in the Sprint Cup championship Chase. When you turn down the hill off of turn two, sensational-wise, its one of the fastest corners in our sport. Every lap feels like youre going to wreck.McMurrays No. 1 Chevrolet honors Bill Elliotts blue McDonalds ride with its Mac Tonight tagline.McMurray joked he was jealous last year when Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Kyle Larson drove a Mello Yello themed car at Darlington. Larson took things to another level with a curly, black wig and mustache reminiscent of 1970s-era Kyle Petty, who drove that race fan favorite.It is cool to get to have that on your car and be a part of what Darlington has put together, McMurray said.Darlingtons first throwback theme in 2015 coincided with the return of its long held, Labor Day weekend spot on the NASCAR schedule.For more than a half-century, summer in the South closed with NASCARs run at Darlington. The track had its date taken away after 2003 due to Sprint Cup schedule realignment. But after tries in November, May and April, NASCAR has locked Darlington back into Labor Day weekend through 2020.Theres a lot of history at this place and were honored to help NASCAR celebrate that, Tharp said.The track won marketing team of the year award from NASCAR for the Tradition Returns to Darlington Raceway campaign.NASCAR said, the throwback theme was embraced industry-wide, the successful event weekend saw unprecedented stakeholder collaboration with a level of complexity never before seen within the sport.Edwards believes its because NASCAR drivers and fans cherish the past, sometimes moreso than other sports.Its something thats important to those who love the sport, he said.

Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys Online .C. -- Charlotte Bobcats coach Steve Clifford said after all of these years in the NBA hes still amazed at some of the things LeBron James does. The Warriors are causing oddsmakers to do things they havent done since Michael Jordan wore a Bulls uniform.?Golden State, at around minus-150, is a rare preseason odds-on favorite to win the NBA championship.Jeff Sherman, head NBA oddsmaker at the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas, remembers the 1997-98 Bulls team, which was coming off a 72-win season, being around a minus-125 title favorite entering that season. The Miami Heat, during LeBron James three seasons, also had short preseason odds. Kentucky mens basketball has been a heavy favorite to win a national championship prior to past seasons.But Sherman and other sports betting industry veterans struggled to recall another team -- in basketball, baseball or football -- that was an odds-on favorite to start the season.Odds-on suggests a team has a better than even chance to win. It also means you win less money than you bet.For example, at the Warriors current odds of minus-150 -- or 2-3 -- a $150 bet on them would net $100 if they were to win the title.The Warriors pricey odds are not deterring many from betting on them, though. More bets have been placed on Golden State -- and nearly twice as much money -- than any other team at William Hills Nevada sportsbook. Fourteen of the 20 largest bets on the books odds to win the NBA title are on the Warriors.Johnny Avello, executive director at the Wynn sportsbook, said he took a $28,000 bet on the Warriors. The average size of a wager on Golden State at MGMs sportsbook is around $160.In comparison, the average size of bet on the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers?is around $70. The Cavs are the second favorites at 12-5, followed by the Spurs at 11-2.No other team has odds in the single digits.In addition to having unprecedented championship odds, the Warriors are expected to force oddsmakers to create point spreads never seen in the NBA. Only eight NBA games have had point spreads of 20 or greater since the 2004-05 season, according to the sports analytics site BetLabs on SportsInsights.com. The Warriors were involved in two such games last season. They were 22-point home favorites over the 76ers on March 27. It was the largest NBA point spread in thee past 12 seasons.dddddddddddd The Warriors also were 20-point favorites against the Timberwolves in a game they lost April 11.Even higher point spreads are expected this season.If things click like they look like they could with the talent, then we could see some historic point spreads on some games, MGM vice president of race and sports Jay Rood said.Sherman, at the Westgate, said his power ratings indicate Golden State could be a 24.5-point favorite when the Nets visit Oracle Arena on Feb. 25. Its a line that Sherman never thought hed see on an NBA game.At the same time, you didnt think youd see one of the best free agents go to one of the best teams like this, Sherman said of the Warriors offseason acquisition of Kevin Durant.If the Warriors are healthy and rested, Sherman said they would be favored in every game this season. Twice, though, Golden State plays at San Antonio on the second half of back-to-back games. The Warriors are at Cleveland on Dec. 25.I would say well need the other side [of the Warriors] in probably 70 of the 82 games, said Nick Bogdanovich, director of trading at William Hill U.S. Theres going to be some matchups, three in four nights, or back-to-back against a quality team, where there might be some split action. But for the most part, yeah, were going to be against them.Other notable odds for the Warriors include:?-- Their season-win total is set at 66.5, the highest ever at the Westgate SuperBook and 10 games more than the Cavaliers.-- They won a record-73 games during the 2015-16 regular season. William Hill is offering a proposition bet on whether Golden State can win 73.5 games. The under is minus-600 and has attracted 92 percent of the money bet on the prop.-- William Hill also has a prop bet on which player will finish the regular season with a higher scoring average: Durant or reigning MVP Curry. Durant is a minus-175 favorite, but 72 percent of the bets are on Curry.Golden State plays the Lakers in a preseason game Wednesday (10 p.m., ESPN) at the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego. ' ' '
