Hornaday Jr. prevails in crash-filled Las Vegas truck race

Autoracing Betting Lines

10/15/2011 - Las Vegas, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ron Hornaday Jr. moved right back into the championship battle in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series with a win in Saturday's Smith's 350 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Hornaday, the four-time series champion, started on the pole and put on a dominating performance by leading 107 of 146 laps for his fourth win of the season and the 51st of his career. He won two weeks ago at Kentucky. Hornaday also benefited from Austin Dillon and James Buescher's wrecks early in the race to move him from 42 points to 21 out of the lead.

It's the first time Hornaday has won at Las Vegas in 11 races here.

Dillon, the defending race winner, brought out the first of 10 cautions in the 219-mile (350-kilometer) race when he made contact with the wall on the second lap. He wound up finishing 15 laps down in 17th. Dillon managed to hold on to the points lead. His advantage is five points over Johnny Sauter, who finished fourth.

Buescher trailed Dillon by three points heading into this race, but he ran into the back of Blake Feese after Feese spun around on lap 47. Buescher fell 40 laps behind and ended up finishing 21st. He is currently seven points behind Dillon.

Seven cautions occurred within the first 70 laps. This was the first time the series competed on this 1.5-mile track during the day since 2002. Teams were not used to racing conditions here during the afternoon hours.

A four-car wreck on lap 30 forced NASCAR to halt the race for 10 minutes. Ricky Carmichael got hit from behind and then spun around, collecting Brian Ickler and Miguel Paludo.

The final caution set up an eight-lap shootout to the finish. Hornaday pulled away from second-place runner Matt Crafton after the restart and then beat him to the finish line by 0.6 seconds.

Crafton's second-place run came in his 268th straight truck start, as he surpassed Dennis Setzer for second on the series' all-time consecutive starts list. Terry Cook holds the record with 296.

Timothy Peters' third-place finish put him back in the title fight as well. Peters is 25 points behind the leader.

Todd Bodine, the 2010 series champion, finished fifth, followed by Nelson Piquet Jr., David Mayhew and Cole Whitt.

Brendan Gaughan and Parker Kligerman completed the top-10.

Just four races remain in the season -- Talladega (next Saturday), Martinsville (October 29), Texas (November 4) and Homestead (Nov. 18).

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
