08/24/2010 - Joliet, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Series: NASCAR Camping World Truck. Date: Friday, August 27. Race: EnjoyIllinois.com 225. Site: Chicagoland Speedway. Track: 1.5-mile tri-oval. Start time: 9:00 p.m. (et). Laps: 150. Miles: 225. 2009 winner: Kyle Busch. Television: SPEED. Radio: Motor Racing Network(MRN) /SIRIUS NASCAR Radio.
What a week it was for Kyle Busch at Bristol.
Busch's win in the Camping World Truck Series race last Wednesday kicked off his historical three-race sweep at Bristol. He became the first driver to win all three of NASCAR's national touring series races in the same week.
While the Sprint Cup Series takes its last open weekend of the season, Busch will try to win his fourth national series race in a row at the 1.5-mile Chicagoland Speedway.
Busch will attempt to defend his title in the EnjoyIllinois.com 225 at Chicagoland. One year ago, he led the most laps with 79 and then held off Todd Bodine after the final restart with seven laps remaining to win the inaugural Truck Series race here.
"Chicago is always fun because my parents are from that area and so are my fiancee's parents," Busch said. "It has a lot of history and family ties. I think we think we have a good shot, and with a new sponsor on board [Traxxas RC cars], we have a good chance at winning and making it four [national series wins] in a row."
With nine races to go in the season, Bodine holds a comfortable 211-point lead over Aric Almirola.
Bodine leads all drivers in the series with 11 wins on 1.5-mile tracks. He won at Texas Motor Speedway in June. Bodine finished second at Chicagoland last year.
"We had a really good truck last year, but we got beat on a restart," Bodine said.
The 225-mile truck race will run under the lights at Chicagoland on Friday, the night before the IZOD IndyCar Series competes here.
Thirty-eight teams are on the preliminary entry list for the EnjoyIllinois.com 225.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
