Autoracing Betting Lines

03/02/2010 - Hampton, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Series: NASCAR Camping World Truck. Date: Saturday, March 6. Race: E-Z-Go 200. Site: Atlanta Motor Speedway. Track: 1.54-mile oval. Start time: 2:00 p.m. (et). Laps: 130. Miles: 200.2. 2009 Winner: Kyle Busch. Television: SPEED. Radio: Motor Racing Network(MRN)/SIRIUS NASCAR Radio.

After a two-week break, the Camping World Truck Series returns to action at Atlanta.

The series kicked off their season on February 12 at Daytona, with Timothy Peters winning the 250-mile race in thrilling fashion. Todd Bodine held the lead on the final lap, but Peters shoved Bodine up the track to claim the top spot. He went on to score his second career victory in the series.

"It's a very cool feeling being the points leader of the series, but Atlanta changes the game," Peters said. "It's a privilege to be in this position, but we also know it's our job to stay up there the entire season."

Peters has finished no better than 15th in his first three starts at Atlanta.

Kyle Busch is the defending Atlanta race winner. Busch, who is in his first year as driver and owner of a truck team, has four wins at Atlanta. If he takes the checkered flag for Saturday's event, he will join Bodine as the only drivers to score five series victories at the same track. Bodine has five wins at Texas.

"It's a track I really like," Busch said. "It's fast and the truck races are always really good. Obviously, getting a win there would be really huge, because it would be the first for Kyle Busch Motorsports."

Busch and Kevin Harvick are the only Sprint Cup Series regulars on the entry list for the Atlanta truck race. Nationwide Series veteran Steve Wallace is entered as well. Wallace will make his truck debut, driving the No.15 Toyota for Billy Ballew Motorsports.

For the first time since in nearly six years, Geoff Bodine will compete in a truck race. Bodine will drive the No.95 Dodge for Danny Gill Racing. His last start came in July 2004 at Kentucky.

Bodine has spent the past several weeks at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, overseeing the fortunes of his Bo-Dyn Bobsleds that carried the United States' four-man bobsled team to its first gold medal in the 62-year history of the event.

Thirty-nine teams are on the preliminary entry list for the E-Z-Go 200.

What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country.
