Bodine's fuel holds up for Kentucky win

Sparta, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Todd Bodine overcame a spin and then conserved
enough fuel at the finish to pull off a stunning victory in the Built Ford
Tough 225 Camping World Truck Series race at Kentucky Speedway.
Bodine, the current points leader, attempted to pass Kyle Busch for the lead
just after a restart on lap 81. But Bodine got loose after a panel fell off
his truck. He did not hit anything while he spun on the infield grass.
The 2006 series champion pitted several times for repairs during the caution.
He remained on the lead, but restarted in 25th.
Bodine did not pit during a late-race round of stops under green. He inherited
the lead for the final time with 13 laps remaining when rookie Austin Dillon,
the pole sitter, made his last stop. Bodine finished 5.6 seconds ahead of
runner-up Johnny Sauter.
After the race, Bodine blamed Busch for the mid-race incident.
"The first person I got to thank is Kyle Busch for driving dirty, sucking me
down and getting me spun out to give us the gas," Bodine said. "When I got up
behind Kyle, we got aero tight, which is what happens. I backed off and was
just kind of riding there and trying to keep the right front out and waiting
for later, and low and behold, we got spun around and then got some fuel, and
here we are in victory lane."
Busch, who was attempting to win his third consecutive truck race, as well
as his fifth straight NASCAR national touring series event, pitted from the
lead with 23 laps remaining and fell one lap behind in 18th. He did bounce
back for a seventh-place finish.
Busch heard Bodine's post-race comments and then had a heated discussion with
Bodine during his victory lane celebration.
With the win, Bodine widened his lead to 261 points over Aric Almirola, who
finished third.
"[The team] was incredible," Bodine said. "We beat everyone out when we took
the fuel, and that is what helped us get out in front...that's what makes a
great championship team is consistency."
Jason White finished fourth, and Ricky Carmichael was fifth.
Timothy Peters took the sixth spot. Ryan Sieg, Dillon and Matt Crafton
completed the top-10.
Ron Hornaday Jr., the defending series champion and last year's Kentucky race
winner, suffered a mechanical problem late in the race and finished four laps
behind in 29th.
