Autoracing Betting Lines

03/07/2009 - Hampton, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kyle Busch will start on the pole for Saturday's American Commercial Lines 200 Camping World Truck Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Busch, who also won the pole for the Truck Series event two weeks ago at California, turned in a lap of 31.428 seconds (176.403 m.p.h.) to capture the top starting position at Atlanta in his No.51 Billy Ballew Motorsports Toyota.

"The Miccosukee Toyota was awesome today," Busch said. "Qualifying seemed to bode well for us, and hopefully the race will too here later."

Busch recorded his fourth career pole in the series. He is the only driver with multiple truck victories at Atlanta, posting three wins here.

After winning at California, Busch grabbed the series points lead, as he holds a five-point advantage over Todd Bodine.

Rick Crawford, who will become the first driver to make his 300th career start in the series, secured the outside pole with the second-best lap of 31.509 seconds.

"If you start on the front row for your 300th start, that's pretty good," Crawford said.

Kevin Harvick qualified third, followed by Bodine and Ron Hornaday Jr.

Dennis Setzer, JR Fitzpatrick, Mike Skinner, Colin Braun and Max Papis completed the top-10.

All 36 drivers who participated in qualifying will be in the race.

Qualifying was delayed almost an hour due to fog and mist at the 1.54-mile track.

The 200-mile race is scheduled to begin around 2:00 p.m. (et).
