Bowyer edges Burton for Talladega win

Autoracing Betting Lines

10/23/2011 - Talladega, AL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Clint Bowyer made a winning pass on his Richard Childress teammate Jeff Burton on the final lap to take Sunday's Good Sam Club 500 at Talladega Superspeedway.

Both Bowyer and Burton were hooked up in a two-car tandem for most of the 500- mile race. A late-race caution set up a two-lap sprint to the finish. After the final restart, Bowyer and Burton pulled away from field.

As the RCR drivers came out of the last turn of the final lap, Bowyer dove underneath Burton to take the lead. He crossed the finish line 0.018 seconds ahead of Burton for his first win of the season and the fifth of his Sprint Cup Series career. Bowyer also won last year's fall race at Talladega.

Bowyer and Burton did not qualify for this year's Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Bowyer is leaving RCR at the end of the year and heading to Michael Waltrip Racing for the 2012 season. Burton was attempting to snap a three-year winless streak in the series.

Dave Blaney finished third, while Brad Keselowski was the highest finisher of the Chase drivers with a fourth-place run. Red Bull Racing teammates Brian Vickers and Kasey Kahne took the fifth and sixth positions, respectively.

Carl Edwards finished 11th and increased his lead to 14 points over new second-place and Roush Fenway Racing teammate Matt Kenseth, who finished 18th. Keselowski is now 18 points out of the lead, while Tony Stewart trails by 19 markers. Stewart finished seventh.

Jimmie Johnson finished 26th and fell 50 points behind Edwards. Just four races remain, with the series heading to Martinsville Speedway -- the shortest track on the schedule -- next weekend.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds

The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country.
