NASCAR changes truck qualifying process
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Sept. 23, 2010) – The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) announced today that it will revise the qualifying procedure for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series for the remainder of the 2010 season.
The order in which trucks will qualify for the remaining six races of the season for the 36 available positions will be based on the fastest time recorded during practice sessions. Times will be inverted, allowing the slowest truck in practice to be the first out in qualifying, with the fastest truck going out last.
The series first unveiled the slowest to fastest qualifying procedure at Pocono Raceway in July and then again at Chicagoland Speedway, Kentucky Speedway and New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
The remainder of the 2010 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series schedule follows:
· Saturday, Sept. 25 – Las Vegas Motor Speedway
· Saturday, Oct. 23 – Martinsville Speedway
· Saturday, Oct. 30 – Talladega Superspeedway
· Friday, Nov. 5 – Texas Motor Speedway
· Friday, Nov. 12 – Phoenix International Speedway
· Friday, Nov. 19 – Homestead-Miami Speedway
A drawing for qualifying order will be held in the event inclement weather cancels the session. The field would then be set according to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Rule Book.
