Busch ends Hornaday's winning streak at Bristol

Autoracing Betting Lines

08/19/2009 - Bristol, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kyle Busch won the O'Reilly 200 at Bristol Motor Speedway for the second year in a row and prevented Ron Hornaday Jr. from extending his record to six consecutive victories in the Camping World Truck Series.

Busch dominated the second half of Wednesday's 200-lap race, as he led the final 75 laps and held off Matt Crafton by nearly three seconds for his third truck victory this season -- and first since March, at Atlanta.

"I love this place," Busch said. "It's a fun place to race. For some reason, I've really taken to the new surface."

Busch has mastered the .533-mile track, leading more than 1,400 laps combined in NASCAR's three national touring series here.

Earlier this week, Busch was reunited with crew chief Richie Wauters, who guided him to victory in last year's truck race at Bristol. While Wauters came on board with Billy Ballew Motorsports' No.51 Toyota, Doug George, who had served as Busch's crew chief this season, moved over to the No.15 Toyota, with Aric Almirola taking the wheel at Bristol.

"It feels great," Wauters said. "Anytime Kyle and I get together, we know we can win races."

Busch, who joined Hornaday as the only repeat winners at Bristol, capitalized on an early-race pit strategy when he was the first to pit again for fuel after taking tires. Hornaday also came in for fuel, but did so one lap after Busch.

Hornaday ran among the top-10 throughout the race before ending up with a third-place finish.

"We just run into so much bad luck here," said Hornaday, whose last win at Bristol came in 1998. "When [Busch] pitted and then came right back for fuel, that's what hurt us right there. We lost so much track position, and it was my own fault. I should have been paying more attention."

Earlier this month at Nashville, Hornaday became the first driver to win five races in a row in NASCAR since 1971. Richard Petty and Bobby Allison both did it in the Cup Series that year. Petty holds the NASCAR record with 10 straight Cup wins in 1967.

"Overall, five in a row, I got to thank all the fans and whatever they have been writing," Hornaday said. "It's been a lot of fun, so now we can start all over again."

Hornaday's lead in the series is now 211 points over Crafton.

Ryan Newman, the pole sitter, finished fourth, followed by Brian Scott.

Almirola, David Starr, T.J. Bell, Stacy Compton and Timothy Peters completed the top-10.

Jason White led a race-high 86 laps, but dropped back in the field after making his first pit stop with under 50 laps to go. White wound up 14th.

MySportsbook.com: New College Football Clock Rules Examined

Coaches and bettors alike are desperate to make sense of the new time-keeping rules on the NCAA gridiron. One of the big stories to come out of the Ohio State-Texas clash last weekend was Texas coach Mack Brown's criticism of the NCAA's new clock rules that are intended to shorten the duration of college football games, therefore affecting college football betting.

"They scored with six minutes left and the game was over before we had a chance to do anything," Brown told ESPN.com. "I really hope whoever made these changes will go back and look them over."

Sure, it might be sour grapes; the Buckeyes thoroughly trounced the defending national champion Longhorns 24-7. However, Brown isn't alone in giving the changes their due thought. Bettors are also wondering about them, albeit for a completely different reason. Most experts agree that the changes will result in games being shortened by anywhere from 10 to 20 plays. The obvious consequence is lower scores, with more time rolling off the clock during changes of possession. (The Ohio State-Texas game flew well under the total of 52.)

According to research at the online sportsbook MySportsbook.com, more than 18 plays a game disappeared last weekend into thin air. That's a 10-percent reduction. In 2005, a typical game had 168.58 plays. For 2007 already, it's down to 150.26.

As a result, teams combined to gain an average of about 100 fewer yards a game last weekend versus the 2005 openers. Scoring was also down by about 4.5 points (attention Las Vegas sports lines).

Of course, oddsmakers were able to adjust to the changes before the season started. Proof of that came as the over went a balanced 8-9 at My Sportsbook on Saturday.

Other angles to consider:A shorter game should theoretically result in shorter lines. Whereas Team A might have been a 14-point favorite in a 168-play game (last year), if there are 10 percent less snaps in 2007, the line should also be reduced by 10 percent (to 13 or 12.5). Of course, this is an over-simplification of the matter, but something to keep in mind.
Less possessions means a better chance the game will be decided by three or seven points. For example, what might have been a 20-10 final score in 2005 may end at

17-10 in 2007. Granted, a 24-17 game last year might end at 21-17 these days, but the former - a three- or seven-point advantage being preserved as opposed to created - is the most likely scenario.

*UPDATE* - Sept. 25, 2007

New Clock Rules Boon for online bookmakers

By adjusting the time-keeping rules to shorten the duration of college football games, the NCAA hoped to make its product more enjoyable for the fans. While the NCAA's success in this regard is still up for debate, bookmakers couldn't be happier with the results.

"We are seeing a massive jump in college football betting," noted the MySportsbook.com management team. "With all the early Saturday games (12 a.m. ET) ending before the second wave begins (3:30 p.m. ET) - something that didn't always happen before the changes - bettors are now able to re-invest their winnings from the morning session in the afternoon games."

While not all bettors will choose to roll over their winnings, it doesn't take much for an impact to be seen on the bottom line. "Not all of the millions of dollars in morning payouts get re-bet. In fact, it's probably only 10 to 20 percent," noted the sportsbook management team. "Still, the increased football betting lines window will create a ton of growth for us over the course of the season."
