Darlington, SC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Todd Bodine picked up his second win in a
row in the Camping World Truck Series by taking Saturday's Too Tough To Tame
200 at Darlington Raceway.
Bodine, who won last week at Nashville, led the final 47 laps and held off
Timothy Peters by a half-second for his third victory of the season and the
20th of his truck career.
"That was no Sunday drive, but I knew I had to go with Timothy behind me,"
Bodine said.
The series competed at Darlington for the first time since November 2004.
Bodine won a Nationwide race here in 2003.
Bodine increased his lead to 231 points over Aric Almirola, who finished
ninth. Ten races remain in the season.
"We got it going on," said Bodine, the 2006 Truck Series champion. "We
struggled at the beginning of the year, but [crew chief] Mike Hillman Jr. has
changed it around, and here we are. We're getting faster every week. It's nice
to be able to get some wins and drive this way."
Peters started on the pole and led the first 47 laps before letting Ron
Hornaday Jr. take the top position away from him during the first round of pit
stops.
"With that last set of sticker [tires] we took, we were just mired back in
traffic a little bit, so I had to use up my stuff early just to get the clean
air and get back to the front."
Hornaday Jr. ended up third, while Johnny Sauter and rookie Austin Dillon
rounded out the top-five.
Matt Crafton finished sixth, followed by James Buescher and Stacy Compton.
Long-time NASCAR veteran Ken Schrader took the 10th spot.
The 200-mile truck race at Darlington featured nine cautions, mostly for
crashes.
On lap 96, Mario Gosselin got loose and hit the wall. Gosselin then slid down
the track and clipped Ricky Carmichael. Both drivers slammed hard into the
wall. It was the second week in a row that Gosselin was involved in a heavy
crash.
A three-truck wreck occurred on lap 106 when Justin Lofton made contact with
the wall and collected David Starr. Lofton then rammed into the side of Mike
Skinner.

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.
