Truck qualifying at Atlanta cancelled, Benson on pole

Autoracing Betting Lines

10/24/2008 - Hampton, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Inclement weather at the Atlanta Motor Speedway on Friday forced NASCAR officials to cancel qualifying for the E-Z Go 200 Craftsman Truck Series race.

Qualifying was originally scheduled for Saturday morning, but a revised schedule for the track calls for Truck Series practice early in the morning followed by Sprint Cup Series final practice.

Truck teams never had the opportunity to practice Friday because of poor weather conditions. Sprint Cup teams only had a few minutes of practice before the session was halted. Qualifying for that series was also cancelled.

By rule, points leader Johnny Benson will start on the pole position. Benson reclaimed the lead in the series last week after picking up the win at Martinsville.

Ron Hornaday, Jr., the defending series champion, will start on the outside pole.

Kyle Busch and Matt Crafton will make up row two, while Todd Bodine and Mike Skinner will start in row three.

Erik Darnell, Rick Crawford, Dennis Setzer and Ryan Newman will roll off six through 10th, respectively. Newman, the 2008 Daytona 500 champion, is making his first-ever truck start.

Benson currently holds a 65-point advantage over Hornaday with four races to go in the season.

Hornaday won the inaugural truck event at Atlanta in 2004 and has finished second in the last two races there.

Benson's track record at Atlanta is not as impressive as Hornaday's, as Benson has finished 28th or worse in three of the last four races there, although he finished third in last year's race.

The green flag for Saturday's race is scheduled to drop around 1:30 p.m. (et).
