07/11/2010 - Newton, IA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rookie Austin Dillon became a first time winner in the Camping World Truck Series by taking Sunday's Lucas Oil 200 at Iowa Speedway.
Dillon, the grandson of NASCAR multi-team owner Richard Childress, put on a dominating performance by leading 187 of 205 laps. However, he had to hold off Johnny Sauter in a green-white-checkered finish to capture his first truck win in just 12 starts. Jason White blew a right-front tire in the closing laps, which setup the two-lap overtime finish.
"This truck was awesome," Dillon said. "By that last restart, I knew it wasn't going to be that easy. My grandpa [Richard Childress] kept telling me what line to choose, and I was saying, 'that's alright; we're going to win the race.' You got to have confidence, and that's what we had."
Dillon made his series debut last September in the inaugural race at Iowa.
Childress, the owner of Dillon's No.3 Chevrolet, arrived at the 0.875-mile track earlier in the day after Saturday night's Sprint Cup Series race at Chicagoland Speedway, which was won by David Reutimann. Dillon drives the same number made famous by Dale Earnhardt, who won six of his seven Cup titles with Childress.
"It really is special," Childress said. "Dale would be proud. I got pictures of Dale holding him in winners' circle, and he would be proud to see Austin do this."
At the age of 20 years, two months and 37 days, Dillon became the second youngest race winner in series history. Kyle Busch holds the record as the youngest driver to win a truck race at 20 years and 18 days.
"I just wanted to do it for the fans of this 3," Dillon said. "This 3 is a good number to run, and I'm glad I'm running it. I feel very fortunate. I want to win a lot, and hopefully this is the first one of many."
Dillon set a series record on Saturday when he became the first rookie to win three consecutive poles. He also started on the pole at Texas and Michigan prior to Iowa.
Sauter finished second, while Matt Crafton, Ken Schrader and James Buescher completed the top-five.
"When you get that close like we did a couple of weeks ago when we finished second at Texas, you just want to win them; nonetheless, it wasn't meant to be," Sauter said.
While Dillon took the checkered flag at Iowa, the top-four drivers in points -- Todd Bodine, Aric Almirola, Ron Hornaday Jr. and Timothy Peters -- had their share of problems on the track.
Despite finishing 17th, Bodine widened his lead to 88 points over Almirola, who won the last truck race in June at Michigan. Bodine was caught up in a multi-car incident which occurred just after a restart on lap 113. Donny Lia made contact with the wall and bumped into Brian Ickler, who then put newcomer Greg Pursley into a spin. During the incident, Hornaday Jr. got hit from behind and then rammed into Bodine. Hornaday, the four-time and defending series champion, suffered heavy damage to his truck and wound up finishing 24th.
"Somebody checked up there," Hornaday said. "I got to the outside, and somebody shot low, and they socked me in the front."
Almirola was running in fourth when he blew a tire and slammed into the wall on lap 75. Almirola's Billy Ballew Motorsports teammate Steve Wallace also cut a tire and hit the wall earlier in the race.
"These are the kind of days we're trying to avoid," said Almirola, who finished 28th. "We felt like we had a really good truck."
Peters suffered engine failure just past the half-way point and ended up finishing 27th.

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.
