Bodine cruises to second straight truck victory
Autoracing Betting Lines
08/14/2010 - Darlington, SC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Todd Bodine picked up his second win in a row in the Camping World Truck Series by taking Saturday's Too Tough To Tame 200 at Darlington Raceway.
Bodine, who won last week at Nashville, led the final 47 laps and held off Timothy Peters by a half-second for his third victory of the season and the 20th of his truck career.
"That was no Sunday drive, but I knew I had to go with Timothy behind me," Bodine said.
The series competed at Darlington for the first time since November 2004. Bodine won a Nationwide race here in 2003.
Bodine increased his lead to 231 points over Aric Almirola, who finished ninth. Ten races remain in the season.
"We got it going on," said Bodine, the 2006 Truck Series champion. "We struggled at the beginning of the year, but [crew chief] Mike Hillman Jr. has changed it around, and here we are. We're getting faster every week. It's nice to be able to get some wins and drive this way."
Peters started on the pole and led the first 47 laps before letting Ron Hornaday Jr. take the top position away from him during the first round of pit stops.
"With that last set of sticker [tires] we took, we were just mired back in traffic a little bit, so I had to use up my stuff early just to get the clean air and get back to the front."
Hornaday Jr. ended up third, while Johnny Sauter and rookie Austin Dillon rounded out the top-five.
Matt Crafton finished sixth, followed by James Buescher and Stacy Compton.
Long-time NASCAR veteran Ken Schrader took the 10th spot.
The 200-mile truck race at Darlington featured nine cautions, mostly for crashes.
On lap 96, Mario Gosselin got loose and hit the wall. Gosselin then slid down the track and clipped Ricky Carmichael. Both drivers slammed hard into the wall. It was the second week in a row that Gosselin was involved in a heavy crash.
A three-truck wreck occurred on lap 106 when Justin Lofton made contact with the wall and collected David Starr. Lofton then rammed into the side of Mike Skinner.
