09/15/2009 - Mooresville, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kelly Bires has signed a multi-year agreement with JR Motorsports to drive in the Nationwide Series full-time, the team announced Tuesday.
Bires will drive a Nationwide entry for team owner Dale Earnhardt, Jr., beginning in 2010. He will replace Brad Keselowski, who will move over to Penske Racing at season's end to drive the No.12 Dodge in next year's Sprint Cup Series campaign.
"Kelly is a talented young driver, and we want to give him the opportunity to showcase that talent," Earnhardt, Jr. said in a team statement.
JR Motorsports fields the No.88 and No.5 Chevrolets in Nationwide. The team has not yet made a decision which car Bires will drive next year.
"They win races, and they contend for championships," Bires said. "As a driver, that's all you can ever ask for."
Bires has made 66 career Nationwide starts so far, with three top-five finishes and 11 top-10's. He finished 13th in points last year. Bires made his NASCAR debut in the Truck Series in 2006.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
