JOLIET,
Ill.—With rain wiping out all track activity at Chicagoland Speedway
after opening NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practice, the last casualty was
the Lucas Oil 225 NASCAR
Camping World Truck Series race scheduled for Friday night.
Based
on top speeds in Thursday NCWTS practice sessions at the 1.5-mile track,
series leader Johnny Sauter will start on the pole for the postponed
race, which will be run
after Saturday’s Nationwide Series race, which begins at 3:30 p.m. ET
on ESPN 2.
The
estimated starting time of the Truck Series race is 7 p.m. ET. Fox
Sports 2 will televise the event, the 15th of the season in the NCWTS.
Sauter
holds a seven-point lead in the driver standings over ThorSport Racing
teammate Matt Crafton, who will start ninth. Ryan Blaney, third in the
standings and 13 points
behind Sauter, will take the green flag from the fifth position on the
grid.
