06/02/2010 - Fort Worth, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Series: NASCAR Camping World Truck. Date: Friday, June 4. Race: WinStar World Casino 400k. Site: Texas Motor Speedway. Track: 1.5-mile tri-oval. Start time: 9:00 p.m. (et). Laps: 167. Miles: 400 (kilometers). 2009 winner: Todd Bodine. Television: SPEED. Radio: Motor Racing Network(MRN)/SIRIUS NASCAR Radio.
The Camping World Truck Series will run at the 1.5-mile Texas Motor Speedway for the 25th time on Friday. Todd Bodine has won a record five truck races at Texas.
One year ago, Bodine capitalized on a late-race pit strategy to win at Texas. Bodine elected not to pit for fuel during the last round of stops. He grabbed the lead with 43 laps remaining, and then easily held off Matt Crafton at the finish. Bodine became the first driver in the series to win five races at the same track.
The 2006 series champion has not won since last year's spring race at Texas.
"This Germain Racing team has been working hard," Bodine said. "At Dover, we didn't have a truck to win the race, but we still got a fifth. That's how you win points championships is to take a truck that can't win but still finish in the top-five. Then at Charlotte, we had a good truck and finished second."
Ten of Bodine's 17 career truck wins have come at 1.5-mile ovals, making him the series' winningest driver on intermediate tracks.
Bodine currently leads in the standings by just two points over Aric Almirola. It's the closest battle in series history after the first seven races.
"This is shaping up to be a close points battle," said Almirola, who won his first career truck race in May at Dover. "Todd and I are really close in the points now, but there are so many good teams in the Truck Series garage. Ron Hornaday Jr., Timothy Peters, Matt Crafton and Mike Skinner are all going to be there at the end."
Peters led the standings for the first five races this season, but now sits 86 points out of the lead. Hornaday, the four-time and defending series champion, is 103 points behind.
While Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick concentrate on their Sprint Cup Series duties at Pocono this weekend, Johnny Benson will drive Busch's No.18 Toyota, and Ken Schrader will be behind the wheel of Harvick's No.2 Chevrolet at Texas.
Brian Ickler originally was scheduled to drive the No.18 truck at Texas, but Ickler has been offered a partial schedule in the Nationwide Series with Roush Fenway Racing, including this Saturday's race at Nashville. He will drive the No.18 for Kyle Busch Motorsports in some truck races later this year.
Schrader drove Harvick's truck to a ninth-place finish one month ago at Kansas.
Thirty-five teams are on the preliminary entry list for the WinStar World Casino 400k.

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
