Mansfield, OH (My Sportsbook) - Craftsman Truck Series points leader Todd Bodine will start on the pole for Saturday afternoon's City of Mansfield 250 race after rain cancelled Friday evening's qualifying session. By rule, the starting grid is set by owner points. Starting alongside Bodine will be his Germain Toyota teammate Ted Musgrave. Bodine, who owns a 17-point margin over his teammate, has collected two wins, two seconds and a third place result. His worst finish was a 12th-place result at Martinsville. Musgrave, the defending series champion, has yet to win, but also has yet to finish worse than fourth. Row two will consist of rookie Auggie Vidovich and David Reutimann. "Jack Roush called and asked if I would drive the No.6 Scotts Ford this weekend at Mansfield," said Vidovich. "It's a great opportunity, and I'm thankful to be able to do it." There will be no defending champion as last year's winner, Bobby Hamilton, will continue to miss races due to undergoing therapy for head and neck cancer. Son Bobby Hamilton Jr. will be behind the wheel of the No.18 Dodge. The race is set to begin on Saturday at 2 p.m. (et) from the Mansfield Motorsports Speedway.
