Ford finally wins something

Dale Earnhardt Jr., Hendrick Motorsports and Toyota have been winning pretty much everything at Daytona International Speedway over the past couple weeks. Ford finally has something it can hang its headers on: the pole for tonight's NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race.
Erik Darnell, driver of the No. 99 Ford F-150 for Roush Fenway Racing won the pole for the Truck Series race. Roush is no stranger to winning races at Daytona, especially in the Truck Series. Mark Martin and Carl Edwards have won a truck races at the track for Roush. Travis Kvapil finished third in last year's truck race at Daytona driving for Roush.
"If you look at Roush's success over the years at the superspeedway tracks, they've run really well, whether it's here or at Talladega," Darnell said. "And Carl won this race and Mark won this race, even when we didn't win, we've been running up front. Travis Kvapil almost won this race last year. I know that our team puts some real good trucks underneath me and they've given me the equipment to go out there and win and do my job. It's just kind of up to me to do my job and keep it up front. I think we've really got a shot at the
victory."
Last year's Truck Series champion Ron Hornaday Jr. will start fifth.
“I don’t know what to say. These guys have done an awesome job on this Camping World Silverado," said Hornaday, driver of the No. 33 Chevrolet Silverado for Kevin Harvick Inc. "I’m a little disappointed because we lost a tenth (of a second) somewhere. I tried to go around the bumps the first time, and through them the second time, but maybe we just scrubbed a little too much speed."
Jack Sprague, who won last year's Truck Series race at Daytona and a new teammate of Hornaday's at KHI, will start sixth.
"It was a lot better than I expected," said Sprague, driver of the No. 2 Chevrolet Silverado for KHI. "Sitting there on pit road waiting to go out, the truck kept getting colder and wetter with dew and the times kept slowing down, I kept thinking 'Man, I am going to run a 52 flat. But the guys did a great job. We were about two-tenths off Ron in single truck runs earlier, but we ended up within eight hundredths of him. That is pretty good."
