Busch powers past Hornaday Jr. for truck win

Autoracing Betting Lines

10/27/2007 - Hampton, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kyle Busch captured Saturday afternoon's EasyCare Vehicle Service Contracts 200 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. The No.51 Chevrolet crossed the finish line 0.971 second ahead of Ron Hornaday Jr. but Hornaday Jr.'s finish was good enough to give him the series points lead.

The victory was Busch's first win in eight starts this season and fifth of his truck career.

Hornaday Jr. brought the field to the green flag for 130 laps of tight high- speed racing. But right beside him was the points leader and they raced into the first turn, side-by-side. Hornaday Jr. held off Skinner to lead the first lap and gain five important bonus points.

But while Hornaday Jr. had his eye on Skinner, Busch slipped underneath both drivers to grab the lead on lap three. Busch quickly moved out to a one and-a-half second lead over Skinner.

Before 20 laps were completed Hornaday Jr. got around Skinner for second place and it appeared Skinner was just cruising around waiting for later in the race.

Busch was still the leader on lap 31 when the caution flag flew for the first time. All the leaders pitted for fuel and tires. Skinner's crew decided on a two-tire stop and the decision gave him the race lead. Mark Martin also beat Busch off pit road to grab second place.

Two laps into the green-flag run Hornaday Jr. charged into the lead from fourth place. Busch was still fast after the stop and got around Skinner for second place.

A crash involving Josh Wise, Clay Rogers and Chad Chaffin on lap 46 slowed the action.

Most of the leaders stayed out, but Skinner needed to change tires because of a problem and it left him at the back in 17th place.

The race restarted on lap 54 and amazingly, the "King of Restarts" as Hornaday Jr. is known, was beaten into the first turn by Busch. Busch ran with the clean air and rebuilt his lead to almost one second. Then Hornaday Jr. fought back and on lap 67 slipped below Busch to take the lead back.

Meanwhile, by lap 60 Skinner was already up to 12th place and he cracked the top-10 on lap 68.

Another caution flag slowed the pace and all the leaders pitted. Busch was the big winner with Johnny Benson and Martin just behind. Hornaday Jr. seemed to have a slow stop and fell from first to fourth. Benson must have really found the setup, because he charged past Busch for the lead and built the lead to one second in just a few laps.

Now Hornaday Jr. got around Busch who seemed to be using up his tires quicker than the other leaders. By lap 102 Hornaday Jr caught and passed Benson for the lead.

A caution flag with 25 laps to go (Jack Sprague accident) set up the final stops and the run to the checkered flag

This time the No.33 KHI pit crew did the job and Hornaday Jr. beat everyone back onto the track. Joey Clanton was second with Benson third.

Hornaday Jr. got a good restart, but the man on the move was Busch who charged through the field like a hot knife through butter. He was fourth with 18 laps to go and second with 16 laps remaining. Benson fought back and retook second, but Busch still held the inside lane and wasn't giving up.

A dozen laps to go and four trucks were left with a chance for the win - Hornaday Jr., Benson, Busch and Martin. Then a caution flag on lap 118 when Chad McCumbee's truck left some fluid on the track to slow the race to a crawl.

They restarted on lap 122 and Busch charged to the lead building the margin to four lengths with six laps to go. He kept it going and flew to the checkered flag unchallenged the rest of the way.

Benson, Martin and Skinner completed the top-five.

Despite finishing a solid fifth, Skinner lost his championship lead to Hornaday Jr. He will go to the next race, at the Texas Motor Speedway, four points back (3,547 - 3,543).

Big East Conference odds

Work left to do: Villanova, Syracuse, DePaul, West Virginia, Providence

Notre Dame and Louisville appear to have done enough to make the move, so we'll make them locks. The Cardinals, despite a modest RPI, are trending way up and have clinched at least a tie for third in the Big East, which should be more than enough with their pair of big road wins. Villanova got back to .500 and gets back to more solid footing. Syracuse got a very important road win and crippled a fellow contender in the process. West Virginia's fate could be in its hands Tuesday at Pitt.

Work left to do:

Villanova [18-9 (7-7), RPI: 21, SOS: 5] Pounded Rutgers to get back to .500. If Cats can get their last two (at UConn, vs. Syracuse), that should be enough with strong computer numbers and a host of wins away from The Pavilion. The Cats have beaten Texas and swept the Big 5 (never easy in Philly), but have a couple of losses to bubble teams (Xavier, Drexel), too. I still think they'll be OK, possibly even at 8-8.

Syracuse [20-8 (9-5), RPI: 53, SOS: 62] History says 10 wins will be plenty, but it might be hard for the Orange to get that last one with a final two vs. G'town, which is trying to win the league title, and at Villanova, which will be desperate for a W. The relative lack of nonconference heft and the weak computer numbers are still concerns, but the Orange have won four in a row and got a very, very big win at Providence on Saturday.

DePaul [16-12 (8-7), RPI: 54, SOS: 18] Beat Cincy and should get past South Florida to get to 9-7, but then what? They have beaten Kansas and Cal (right after the DeVon Hardin injury) earlier this season, but also have lost to Bradley and Purdue, among others. They'll likely need a couple of BE tourney wins, too, but we'll see ...

West Virginia [19-7 (8-6), RPI: 58, SOS: 125] The game at Pitt on Tuesday night could decide the Mountaineers' fate (barring a deep tournament run). They can still get to 9-7 in the Big East without it by beating Cincinnati, but the nine wins would be against UConn, Villanova, St. John's, South Florida, DePaul, Rutgers, Seton Hall twice and the Bearcats. Beating bubble foes is fine, but where's the beef? Outside of beating PG-less UCLA in nonconference play (still a top quality win), there's not a lot to fall back on (besides maybe NC State). WVU vs. Syracuse would be an interesting debate, as the teams don't play in the Big East regular season. WVU has the best win, but Cuse has played the much better schedule.

Providence [17-10 (7-7), RPI: 70, SOS: 33] The Friars likely saw their at-large hopes die at home in the four-point loss to Syracuse, barring an unexpected run to the Big East semis or more. The RPI, bad already, won't be helped by playing St. John's and South Florida in the final two league games.
