White claims pole for Daytona truck race

Thu 11th, February 2010

Daytona Beach, FL (Sports Network) - Jason White will start on the pole for the NextEra Energy Resources 250 Camping World Truck Series race after posting the fastest lap in Thursday's qualifying at Daytona International Speedway.

White became a first-time pole winner in the series after he lapped the 2.5- mile superspeedway at 177.525 m.p.h. (50.697 seconds). His first pole came in his 80th start.

"You can't get a better place than Daytona to be on the pole for the first time," White said.

Elliott Sadler qualified on the outside pole in his first start for Kevin Harvick Inc. Austin Dillon, the grandson of NASCAR team owner Richard Childress, was third. Dillon is a rookie in the series this year. Ricky Carmichael and Ron Hornaday, the reigning series champion, rounded out the top-five.

Kyle Busch will start 16th in his debut as driver and owner. His teammate, Tayler Malsam, will roll off sixth in the first truck race for Kyle Busch Motorsports.

Former Formula One driver Nelson Piquet Jr. qualified 22nd, while past series champions Johnny Benson (2008) and Ted Musgrave (2005) secured the ninth and 18th positions, respectively.

Friday's 250-mile race at Daytona is scheduled to begin at 8:00 p.m. (et).
