03/07/2009 - Hampton, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Not even late-race transmission problems could stop Kyle Busch from winning his fourth Camping World Truck Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway as he bounced back in the final laps to take Saturday's American Commercial Lines 200.
Busch, who started on the pole, held the lead for a restart with 12 laps to go, but dropped back in the field after loosing second and third gears. He overcame his mechanical issues by driving past Todd Bodine for the top spot with five laps remaining. Busch then fought off a furious charge by fellow Sprint Cup driver Kevin Harvick in the final two laps to follow up on his victory two weeks ago at California.
"The restart there, I stepped in it, and as soon as I stepped in it and I applied power, it snapped it into (second gear), and I had to go all the way to fourth," Busch said. "I kind of had to lug it all the way around there. I got out of the way so those guys could go and race and did not want to block them up. It felt like an eternity to get this thing up to speed and get going. Once we got there man, I didn't lift those final 12 laps, and I stayed in the gas wide open right in the middle groove and it prevailed."
On the restart, Busch did not get up to speed while Terry Cook passed him for the lead. Colin Braun also passed Busch on the backstretch, but Braun bumped into the back of Cook and then was tapped from behind by Brian Scott. Braun spun and slammed into the inside wall. The fifth and final caution setup an eight-lap shootout to the finish.
Cook held the lead for the final restart, while Busch ran in the ninth spot. But Busch charged to the front in three laps after he got back up to speed.
"I don't think we out trucked them today, but we out drove them at the end," Busch said.
The victory was Busch's 11th career in the series. He won last year's spring event at Atlanta.
Busch has finished either first or second in the first three races this season.
Harvick led the most laps with 68, but finished a truck-length behind in second.
"That was a lot of fun there at the end," Harvick said. "The thing was fast, but it doesn't matter if you can't do a pit stop."
Harvick, competing in his first truck race this season, struggled on his pit stops.
Bodine finished third. Mike Skinner came in fourth, and Cook was fifth.
Chad McCumbee, Ron Hornaday Jr., Mike Bliss, Johnny Benson and Scott completed the top-10.
On lap 74, Braun hit Ricky Carmichael from behind, turning Carmichael around. Dennis Setzer slammed into Carmichael's truck while trying to avoid the incident.
With the victory, Busch increased his lead to 25 points over Bodine.
The next race is scheduled for Saturday, March 28 at Martinsville Speedway.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
