Sparta, KY (My Sportsbook) - Thunderstorms throughout the northern Kentucky region cancelled qualifying for Saturday night's Built Ford Tough 225 Craftsman Truck Series event at the Kentucky Speedway. Series points leader Dennis Setzer will start on the pole. The No.46 Chevrolet driver holds a 34-point margin over second place Carl Edwards (1,527-1,493). Edwards will start in the outside position of the front row. "This has been a pretty good track for us in the past," said Setzer. "The RCR engine program has really helped us pick up our big track program. We already won at Charlotte and Texas, and we think we have a good shot to continue running well here." Row two will consist of Bobby Hamilton (1,466) and Rick Crawford (1,395). "I don't think missing practice and qualifying is going to be that big of a deal," said owner/driver Hamilton. "I think it is good for me, because it saves on tires and saves me some money. Sometimes you spend all day practicing and making all these changes to a truck and then you end up at the same place you started. It just turns out to be a waste of time, effort and money. I'd rather just line them up and go race." The race is scheduled to begin on Saturday at 8 p.m. (et).
