On Track - Friday 5/29

It’s raining again! Severe thunderstorms moved through the Dover area before the tough truck race was supposed to get underway. Wet weather delayed the race for forty minutes before washing it out altogether @ Dover. It has been rescheduled for tomorrow following the Nationwide Series. Good news! There isn’t a chance for rain in the forecast for the rest of the weekend.

There was a lot of action on the track leading up until the showers. It all started in the morning at 9 with a press conference with the new No. 88 interim crew chief Lance McGrew and No. 88 team manager Brian Whitesell. "Everything and everybody will be evaluated," McGrew said. “The idea of having a multiple-car team is you can lean on your teammates. And you have to be within the same page to get any information. A lot of times they were not on the same page."

Camping World Truck Series qualifying started at 10:10 am
Ron Hornaday Jr won the Keystone Light Pole Award for his 21st pole in 232 truck races and 1st @ Dover. Colin Braun starts 2nd followed by Brian Scott, Johnny Sauter and Chad McCumbee.

Jeff Gordon hit the wall during his qualifying run. He'll have to start 42nd in a back-up car.



There was another Hendrick car that didn't have much more luck. Surprise Talladega race winner & Michigan native, Brad Keselowski, driving the #25 this week, was 1 of 4 drivers who failed to qualify. Lance McGrew was focusing as crew chief for the #25 this weekend but will now be able to help out on the #88 before he 'officially' takes over next week @ Pocono.
