Championship leaders start on front row for truck race

Autoracing Betting Lines

10/27/2007 - Hampton, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ron Hornaday Jr. edged points leader Mike Skinner for the pole in Saturday afternoon's EasyCare 200 Craftsman Truck Series race at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. The No.33 Kevin Harvick Inc. Chevrolet circled the fast 1.54-mile track in 30.517 seconds (181.669 m.p.h.).

The pole victory was Hornaday Jr.'s first of the season and 14th of his truck career. His last pole win was in 2006 at Milwaukee.

Starting with Hornaday Jr. on the front row will be his championship rival Skinner, who posted a time of 30.545 seconds.

With four races left in the season, Skinner and Hornaday Jr. are locked in a struggle of former champions. Skinner, the 1995 champion, had been the series leader for most of the season. After winning three of four races to start the season, the Bill Davis Racing Toyota driver has led the series for 16 of 21 weeks.

But Hornaday Jr. (1996 and 1998 champion) has also had a great season and last month caught Skinner. After finishing second at the Dodge Dealers Ram Tough 200 at the Gateway International Raceway, the Kevin Harvick Inc. Chevrolet driver grabbed the lead from Skinner and has held it for three of the last five events. But despite finishing a solid third last Saturday, Hornaday Jr. lost the series lead as Skinner won for the fifth time this year and the 24th time in his truck career.

Skinner will bring an 11-point margin to AMS for this afternoon's race. Neither driver was particularly good in last year's event - Skinner finished eighth and Hornaday Jr. 13th. But in the March race, Skinner was a relatively easy winner while Hornaday Jr. again finished outside the top-10.

Nextel Cup regular Kyle Busch (30.550) and Todd Bodine (30.570) will make up row two.

The race is set to drop the green flag on Saturday at 1 p.m. (et).

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.

Bet NFL Sports Lines

Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.

Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.

A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.

Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.

Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.

Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.

And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
