Busch outruns Edwards for ORP win

Autoracing Betting Lines

07/24/2010 - Clermont, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kyle Busch put on a dominating performance, but had to hold off a furious challenge from Carl Edwards during a green- white-checkered finish to win Saturday's Kroger 200 Nationwide Series race at O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis.

An incident involving Joe Nemechek in the closing laps set up the two-lap overtime finish. Edwards made several attempts to pass Busch for the lead, but came up 0.2 seconds short of winning at ORP for the second year in a row.

Last weekend at St. Louis, Edwards and rival Brad Keselowski battled for the lead during a two-lap sprint to the finish. Edwards picked up the win after he nudged Keselowski from behind and spun him into the wall coming out of the final turn of the last lap.

Earlier this week, NASCAR penalized Edwards with a 60-point loss, fined him $25,000 and placed him on probation until December 31 for aggressive driving.

Edwards made it a clean finish this time.

"That was a good race to get out of the way," Edwards said. "That was a lot of fun. I'm glad it ended up the way it did."

Busch, who led 144 of 201 laps, claimed his eighth victory of the season and the 38th of his Nationwide career. He also won at ORP for the third time, which placed him in a tie with Morgan Shepherd for most wins here in NASCAR's second-tier series.

"It was a good, clean, hard-fought battle, and when you treat people with respect, that's what you get -- you get respect back," Busch said.

Aric Almirola finished an impressive third in his first start in the No.88 car for JR Motorsports. Trevor Bayne, the pole sitter, and Reed Sorenson rounded out the top-five. Bayne also started on the pole and finished third at St. Louis.

With his second-place finish, Edwards slightly trimmed Keselowski's points lead. Keselowski now holds a 205-point advantage after finishing eighth.

Edwards and Keselowski raced side-by-side for position in the opening laps and then again shortly after the half-way point.

"It was good, hard short-track racing, and this is what it's all about," Keselowski said.

NASCAR also placed Keselowski on probation for the remainder of the year for his actions on the track at St. Louis.
