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).

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
