Autoracing Betting Lines

07/04/2010 - Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kevin Harvick won his second consecutive restrictor-plate race by taking Saturday's Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway.

Harvick, the current points leader, survived a rash of late-race accidents, including the "big one" that involved more than a dozen drivers with 13 laps remaining.

Another multi-car pileup triggered by Sam Hornish Jr. in the final laps set up a green-white-checkered finish. Clint Bowyer grabbed the lead from Jeff Gordon just before the final caution.

After the restart, Harvick moved underneath his Richard Childress Racing teammate Bowyer and took the lead. Harvick then held off Kasey Kahne and Gordon to claim his second win of the season. His first victory this year came at Talladega.

Kahne finished second, and Gordon took the third spot. Dale Earnhardt Jr., who won Friday's Nationwide Series race at Daytona, and Jeff Burton rounded out the top-five.

Harvick increased his lead to 212 points over Gordon. Earnhardt Jr. moved up to 11th in points, while Mark Martin dropped to 13th after being involved in the major crash. Eight races remain before the championship Chase begins in September at New Hampshire.
