09/03/2010 - Sparta, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Todd Bodine overcame a spin and then conserved enough fuel at the finish to pull off a stunning victory in the Built Ford Tough 225 Camping World Truck Series race at Kentucky Speedway.
Bodine, the current points leader, attempted to pass Kyle Busch for the lead just after a restart on lap 81. But Bodine got loose after a panel fell off his truck. He did not hit anything while he spun on the infield grass.
The 2006 series champion pitted several times for repairs during the caution. He remained on the lead, but restarted in 25th.
Bodine did not pit during a late-race round of stops under green. He inherited the lead for the final time with 13 laps remaining when rookie Austin Dillon, the pole sitter, made his last stop. Bodine finished 5.6 seconds ahead of runner-up Johnny Sauter.
After the race, Bodine blamed Busch for the mid-race incident.
"The first person I got to thank is Kyle Busch for driving dirty, sucking me down and getting me spun out to give us the gas," Bodine said. "When I got up behind Kyle, we got aero tight, which is what happens. I backed off and was just kind of riding there and trying to keep the right front out and waiting for later, and low and behold, we got spun around and then got some fuel, and here we are in victory lane."
Busch, who was attempting to win his third consecutive truck race, as well as his fifth straight NASCAR national touring series event, pitted from the lead with 23 laps remaining and fell one lap behind in 18th. He did bounce back for a seventh-place finish.
Busch heard Bodine's post-race comments and then had a heated discussion with Bodine during his victory lane celebration.
With the win, Bodine widened his lead to 261 points over Aric Almirola, who finished third.
"[The team] was incredible," Bodine said. "We beat everyone out when we took the fuel, and that is what helped us get out in front...that's what makes a great championship team is consistency."
Jason White finished fourth, and Ricky Carmichael was fifth.
Timothy Peters took the sixth spot. Ryan Sieg, Dillon and Matt Crafton completed the top-10.
Ron Hornaday Jr., the defending series champion and last year's Kentucky race winner, suffered a mechanical problem late in the race and finished four laps behind in 29th.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
