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.
