Bodine picks up sixth truck win at Texas

Autoracing Betting Lines

06/05/2010 - Fort Worth, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Todd Bodine put on a dominating performance, but had to hold off Ron Hornaday Jr. and Johnny Sauter in a green-white- checkered finish to win Friday's WinStar World Casino 400k Camping World Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway.

Bodine led 97 of 167 laps for his record-extending sixth victory at Texas. He beat Ron Hornaday Jr. out of the pits and took the lead for good with 39 laps remaining.

A late-race caution for an accident involving Matt Crafton and David Starr set up the final two-lap overtime finish. Hornaday was running second when the race resumed, but he got shoved up the track just after the restart, which allowed Johnny Sauter to take the second spot.

Bodine finished one second ahead of Sauter to end his 24-race winless streak in the series. His last victory came one year ago at Texas.

"I'm usually not that good on restarts, so I knew, especially with Ron on the outside of me, I had to get a good one, and that last one, I did get a good one, and I didn't spin the tires, except right before third gear," Bodine said.

Bodine claimed his 11th victory on 1.5-mile (intermediate) tracks and his 18th overall in the series.

Bodine also extended his points lead to 65 over Aric Almirola, who finished two laps behind in 12th. Almirola pitted under green on lap 60, but had a tire get away from his stall. NASCAR slapped him with a pass-through penalty.

Sauter finished second, while rookie Austin Dillon, the pole sitter, had a career-best run of third. Mike Skinner and Ken Schrader rounded out the top- five.

"We weren't the greatest truck tonight," Sauter said. "In the long run, we were pretty fast."

James Buescher took the sixth spot, followed by Timothy Peters and former Formula One driver Nelson Piquet Jr. Hornaday wound up ninth, and Johnny Benson, driving Kyle Busch's No.18 truck, came in 10th. Busch did not compete at Texas due to his Sprint Cup Series commitments this weekend at Pocono.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
