Autoracing Betting Lines

06/05/2010 - Lebanon, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brad Keselowski outraced fellow Sprint Cup Series competitor Carl Edwards to win Saturday's Federated Auto Parts 300 at Nashville Superspeedway.

Keselowski led 97 laps after starting from the 24th starting position. He finished 1.67 seconds ahead of Edwards for his third victory of the season and the ninth of his Nationwide career. Keselowski's first win in the series came at Nashville two years ago when he drove for Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s team.

Paul Menard finished third, while Nationwide regulars Justin Allgaier and Mike Bliss rounded out the top-five.

Keselowski, Edwards, Menard and Michael McDowell are those drivers competing both at Nashville and Pocono this weekend. McDowell crashed midway through the 300-mile race and ended up finishing 30th.

With the win, Keselowski padded his lead to 196 points over Kyle Busch, who did not race at Nashville due to his Sprint Cup commitments at Pocono. Keselowski entered the race only one point ahead of Busch.
