Bodine widens points lead with Nashville win

Autoracing Betting Lines

08/07/2010 - Lebanon, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Todd Bodine increased his lead in the Camping World Truck Series point standings after winning Saturday's Nashville 200 in dominating fashion at Nashville Superspeedway.

Bodine, who started on the pole, suffered a flat tire and had to pit unexpectedly on lap 15. But Bodine's early pit stop allowed him to reclaim the lead on lap 62, when he did not pit during a round of green-flag stops. He led the final 89 laps and easily beat rookie Austin Dillon at the finish by 4.2 seconds for his first win at Nashville.

"I've been so close so many times," Bodine said after winning at Nashville for the first time in seven attempts here.

Bodine scored his second victory of the season and 19th of his career, which moved him into fourth place on the series' all-time race wins list. He also earned his long-awaited Gibson guitar trophy for winning at Nashville.

"It's about time I got this," he added.

With the victory, Bodine padded his points lead to 174 over Aric Almirola, who finished third.

Timothy Peters led 57 laps early in the race, but wound up finishing fourth. Johnny Sauter was fifth.

Ron Hornaday Jr., who won this race one year ago, finished sixth, while Matt Crafton took the seventh spot.

During the final laps, Brian Ickler and Justin Lofton were battling for a top-10 position. The two tangled on the last lap, which led to Lofton nudging Ickler from behind during the cool-down lap.

"It wasn't like we were racing for the win there," said Ickler, who drove the No.18 truck for Kyle Busch Motorsports. "It just was uncalled for, because we already had a difficult night, struggling a little bit. There's no need to tear these trucks up."

Ickler finished eighth, while Lofton settled for ninth.

"It was just good, hard racing; I don't know if it was necessarily clean," Lofton said. "[Ickler] kind of pinched me down on [Joe Aramendia], and he didn't move down as far as he should of."

Ken Schrader completed the top-10.

The series will race at Darlington Raceway for the first time in six years next Saturday.
