09/22/2007 - Dover, DE (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Denny Hamlin captured Saturday afternoon's RoadLoans.com 200 Busch Series race at the Dover International Speedway. The No.20 Chevrolet crossed the finish line 1.797 seconds ahead of Martin Truex Jr.
The victory was Hamlin's third of the season and fifth of his Busch career.
"The best medicine is a strong race car," said Hamlin. "Once we got our car out front our car was just dynamite."
Pole winner Greg Biffle brought the field to the green flag for 200 laps of racing over the cement "Monster Mile." But by lap four Hamlin, who was suffering from the flu, slid underneath Biffle for the first lead change.
With future teammate Kyle Busch waiting in the wings if Hamlin couldn't go the distance, the No.20 Chevy drove off to a two-second lead after just 33 laps.
Through a round of pit stops and Hamlin retained the lead of those who pitted. Four cars stayed out to lead the race headed by Mike Bliss. But on old tires, Bliss had no chance to hold off Hamlin, who quickly sliced his way through the field to retake the lead on lap 54.
Meanwhile, Biffle was penalized for leaving his pit box too soon, sending him to the back of the field. He didn't stay there long, cracking the top-10 by lap 78.
At the mid-point, Hamlin, who had a lead as big as four seconds before Robby Gordon spun out to bring out a caution flag, fell to third place behind Martin Truex Jr. and Carl Edwards.
Two laps later, it was Edwards dropping to the bottom of the track and passing Truex Jr. for the lead. Edwards, who already owned four wins on concrete tracks in 2007, quickly helped the top-four drivers pull away from the field.
With 86 laps remaining, Hamlin retook the lead from Edwards as Truex Jr. and Matt Kenseth couldn't keep up with the torrid pace and began to fade. Biffle was up to seventh, but a tire problem forced him onto pit road for a replacement and knocked him out of a chance to compete for the win.
Another caution flag slowed the race to a crawl and for the ninth time erased Hamlin's lead. A final pit stop and Hamlin's crew had a slight problem on the left-front tire and the No.20 was beaten off pit lane by Edwards.
The race would finally restart with 61 laps remaining after more caution flags. Fifty laps to go and it looked like a three-car race between Hamlin, Edwards and Truex Jr.
Ten laps later Hamlin built the lead to 2.544 seconds and now it was his race to lose.
Unfortunately, Donnie Neuenberger spun on lap 164 to bring out a season-record tying 12th caution flag and Hamlin's lead disappeared. The leader chose to get four fresh tires, dropping to eighth place, while Truex Jr. stayed out and inherited the lead.
"I was a little bit worried (being all the way back in eighth place), but I knew we just needed five or six laps to get our tires worked in," said Hamlin. "Once we did that I knew we were going to be good."
The race continued to be plagued by accidents and caution flags leaving Hamlin very little time to get back to the lead. But Hamlin didn't need much time taking third place from Mike Bliss with still 20 laps to go. Two laps later he slid underneath Kenseth for second place and was less than one second behind Truex Jr.
Hamlin got side-by-side with 16 laps to go, but couldn't complete the pass. Just one more lap and this time Hamlin swept under Truex Jr. to retake the lead. Once he got around Truex Jr. he checked out from the field and the race was over. Hamlin won by almost a full straightaway.
Kenseth, Bliss and Reed Sorenson completed the top-five.
The next race in the series is scheduled for Saturday, September 29th at the Kansas Speedway.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.
Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.
"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
