Sadler earns first truck win at Pocono

Autoracing Betting Lines

07/31/2010 - Long Pond, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Elliott Sadler held off Kasey Kahne during a second green-white-checkered finish to win the inaugural Pocono Mountains 125 Camping World Truck Series race at Pocono Raceway.

Just after the restart for the first two-lap overtime finish, Sadler got a push from behind by Justin Lofton and moved ahead of Kahne to take the lead. Johnny Sauter got loose and bumped into Ron Hornaday Jr., as Hornaday spun around and then slammed into the infield wall in turn three. That set up the second green-white-checkered attempt.

Sadler easily pulled away from Kahne after the final restart and beat his Richard Petty Motorsports teammate in the Sprint Cup Series by 0.45 seconds for his first truck win in his eighth start.

"Kasey races me so clean, and he's the best teammate in the world to have," said Sadler, who started on the pole and led 31 of 55 laps. "He was good on the bottom, and I was good on the outside. When we had that last restart, it just worked out for us. I knew he was going to be the guy to beat."

Driving the No.2 Chevrolet, Sadler became the third different Kevin Harvick Inc. driver to win in the last three races. Harvick picked up the win two weeks ago at Gateway International Raceway, while Hornaday claimed his first victory of the season last weekend at O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis.

Sadler also became the 21st different driver to win a race in each of NASCAR's three national touring series. However, Sadler had not won a NASCAR event since September, 2004 when he took the Sprint Cup race at Fontana, CA.

"I told these guys [on the team] on the last lap that I pretty much had tears in my eyes," he said. "It's been such a tough couple of years."

Kahne, who drove the No.18 Toyota for Kyle Busch Motorsports, tried to capture his third win in as many career truck starts. Kahne won in each of his first two starts, which came at the tail end of the 2004 season.

"It was a ton of fun racing this truck for Kyle, and this is a really good team," Kahne said. "We should have been battling Elliott. I had the best truck, but I didn't win the race. I'm disappointed in myself for that."

Matt Crafton finished third, followed by Aric Almirola and rookie Justin Lofton.

Mike Skinner, Austin Dillon, also a rookie in the series this year, Timothy Peters, Denny Hamlin and Jason White completed the top-10.

Hamlin held the lead late in the race, but the Sprint Cup regular scraped the wall and fell behind.

Points leader Todd Bodine overcame a spin in the closing laps to finish 12th. Bodine now holds a 149-point advantage over Almirola.

Hornaday took a huge hit in points after his 29th-place finish. The four-time and defending series champion dropped to seventh in the standings, as he trails Bodine by 268 points.
