Truck qualifying washed out at Texas, field set by points

For the first time in 2012, the Camping World Truck Series saw their qualifying session cancelled as rain soaked the Texas Motor Speedway throughout the day Thursday.

Although qualifying wasn’t set to take place until 7 p.m. ET, NASCAR cancelled the session in attempt to run a practice session before Friday night’s WinStar World Casino 400k.

With no practice being held before the session was canceled, the field was set by the NASCAR rule book with 2012 owner points determining the starting lineup.

Series points leader ,Justin Lofton, was awarded the number one starting position.

Lofton, who won the last time the Truck Series raced at a 1.5-mile track (Charlotte Motor Speedway), will start on the pole position for the first time in his Truck Series career.

Defending race winner, Ron Hornaday Jr., will start from the ninth position Friday night.

Only 35 trucks were on the entry list for Friday’s race, which means that all 35 drivers will start the 167 lap race.
