Autoracing Betting Lines
11/03/2011 - Fort Worth, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Texas-native James Buescher claimed the pole for the WinStar World Casino 350k Camping World Truck Series race after topping points leader Austin Dillon in Thursday's qualifying at Texas Motor Speedway.
Buescher, who hails from nearby Plano, TX, turned a lap at 181.062 mph around the fast 1.5-mile track for his third career pole in the series. His maiden pole came at Texas in June. Buescher has yet to win a truck race.
Dillon will start alongside Buescher on the front row after posting a lap at 180.783 mph.
Blake Feese qualified third, while Sprint Cup Series regular Kyle Busch took the fourth spot. Busch has won the last two fall truck races at Texas.
Ricky Carmichael and Justin Lofton will start from row three, followed by Nelson Piquet Jr. and Ty Dillon, who is Austin's younger brother, in row four.
Ron Hornaday Jr. and his team owner, Kevin Harvick, will occupy the fifth row. Hornaday won this year's spring race here.
Dillon presently holds an 11-point advantage over Buescher. Hornaday and Johnny Sauter are both 15 points behind the leader. Sauter qualified 12th.
Tim Andrews, Norm Benning and Derek White failed to qualify.
Friday's 147-lap truck race at Texas is scheduled to start just after 8:00 p.m. (et).

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.
Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.
Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.
A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.
Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.
Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.
And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
