Autoracing Betting Lines

07/25/2010 - Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jamie McMurray gave team owner Chip Ganassi a trifecta in American motorsports on Sunday by the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

McMurray, who won the Daytona 500 in February, grabbed the lead from Kevin Harvick after the final restart with 11 laps remaining. He then beat Harvick by 1.4 seconds to become the third driver to win the Daytona 500 and the Brickyard 400 in the same season.

He also gave Ganassi the "triple crown" this year, as Ganassi became the only owner to win the Daytona 500, Indianapolis 500 and the 400-mile race at Indy in the same season.

Dario Franchitti gave Ganassi the victory in the Indy 500 in May.

Greg Biffle finished third, while Clint Bowyer and Tony Stewart completed the top-five.

Juan Pablo Montoya once again dominated Indy by leading 86 of 160 laps, but a tire strategy late in the race ended up backfiring for the Colombian driver. Montoya later got loose and slammed into the wall. He wound up finishing 32nd.

With his second-place finish, Harvick increased his lead to 184 points over Jeff Gordon, who finished 23rd.
