Autoracing Betting Lines

11/09/2008 - Avondale, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jimmie Johnson won Sunday's Checker O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 with a dominating performance at the Phoenix International Raceway. Johnson, the two-time defending Sprint Cup Series champion, led 217 of 313 laps and held off a hard-charging Kurt Busch in a green-white-checkered finish.

Johnson now holds a 141-point lead over Carl Edwards, who finished fourth. If Johnson finishes 36th or better in next weekend's season-finale at Homestead, regardless of Edwards' performance, he will clinch his record-tying third consecutive Cup title.

The victory was Johnson's seventh of the season and the 40th of his career.

Busch finished second, and Jamie McMurray came in third. Denny Hamlin completed the top-five.
