Hornaday on the pole for Truck Series race

Ron Hornaday Jr. will start today’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race from the pole after rain washed out qualifying Friday at the newly named Auto Club Speedway.
The starting order for the Truck Series race was determined by 2007’s owners standings. Hornaday, driver of the No. 33 Chevrolet Silverado for Kevin Harvick Inc., won the Truck Series championship last year, the third of his career.
The Truck Series drivers were able practice at the track on Thursday. Hornaday said that he had a truck that could have won the pole on speed, which was much different than the way he felt about his truck before qualifying for this race last year.
"I thought I did," Hornaday said. "Last year, no I didn't. We qualified decent I think, sixth or eighth or whatever."
Mike Skinner, driver of the No. 5 Toyota Tundra for Bill Davis Racing, will start on the front row with Hornaday.
Johnny Benson, Skinner’s teammate at Bill Davis Racing and driver of the No. 23 Toyota Tundra, will start third.
Todd Bodine, winner of the Truck Series season opener at Daytona International Speedway and driver of the No. 30 Toyota Tundra for Germain Racing, will start fourth.
Bodine, Benson and Kyle Busch are tied atop the Truck Series standings after one race. They each have 170 points.
