NASCAR Betting Online: NASCAR betting fans will get to sink their teeth into another fantastic race when the boys of auto racing head to Michigan Motor Speedway for the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400. The name of this race has changed several times over the course of its existence. It was originally known as the Motor State 500 in 1969, but since that point, the race was shortened to 400 miles. The only exception was in 1974 when it was cut to just 360 miles. Since that point, Miller, K-Mart, Sirius, DHL, 3M, Citizen's Bank, and LifeLock have all sponsored this event. Heluva Good! took over in 2010 for the first time.

The defending champion of this event is Denny Hamlin, who captured the checkered flag for one of his multiple wins during the 2010 campaign. Hamlin became the first driver of a Toyota to win this event. He also posted the highest average speed at Michigan Motor Speedway since 1999 when the race was run without a caution.

Some of the all-time greats in this sport highlight the list of past winners. No one has won more events at Michigan Motor Speedway than the great Cale Yarborough, who took the checkered flag six times, including the inaugural race in 1969. David Pearson was his biggest rival during the first 15 years of this event, winning it four times.

Bill Elliott remains as the only driver to win this event three times in a row, as he pulled off the feat in 1984, 1985, and 1986. Elliott matched Pearson with his fourth victory in the race that was known as the Miller High Life 400.

Bobby Allison, Dale Earnhardt, Davey Allison, Rusty Wallace, and Mark Martin are the only other multiple time winners of this event. Martin became the most recent one to cross the finish line in this race a second time, capturing his second crown in 2009, 11 years after he won the then Miller Lite 400 in 1998.

Save Martin though, there has been a different winner of this race every year since 1996.

This 200 lap race is always one of the favorites of the men on the NASCAR circuit.

2011 Zippo 200 at the Glen Winner

Kurt Busch won the Nationwide Zippo 200 at Watkins Glen International.

Subbing for injured Penske Racing teammate Brad Keselowski of Rochester Hills, Busch beat Jimmie Johnson by nearly a second on a green-white-checkered finish Saturday. That deprived brother Kyle Busch of his 50th career victory in the series.

Joey Logano was third, followed by Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards.

The race was mostly a battle between the Busch brothers until the second caution of the race flew with two laps remaining in regulation. They took turns leading the entire 85 laps of the race.

2010 results - Montoya ends frustration with victory at The Glen

Saving his best for the end of Sunday's Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at The Glen, Montoya pulled away from Marcos Ambrose and Kurt Busch over the final 16 laps at Watkins Glen International and notched the second Cup Series victory of his career.

Winless in 113 races since his first Cup victory at Sonoma in June 2007, Montoya added another success to the already magical year his Earnhardt Ganassi Racing team owner has enjoyed. Jamie McMurray, who finished sixth Sunday, won the Daytona 500 and Brickyard 400 this year, and Dario Franchitti added an Indianapolis 500 victory with Ganassi's IndyCar organization. His Rolex Grand-Am team won at The Glen on Saturday.

Busch passed Ambrose at the start/finish line on Lap 89 of 90 to steal second place from Ambrose, who came home third. A.J. Allmendinger, fresh from a contract extension with Richard Petty Motorsports, ran fourth, followed by pole-sitter Carl Edwards, who collected his sixth consecutive top-10 finish.

Montoya, however, had the field covered when it counted, leading 74 laps and crossing the stripe 4.735 seconds ahead of Busch.
