JOLIET, Ill.—Kyle Larson will have to wait a day to start his first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race of the season from the top spot.
Larson claimed the Keystone Light Pole for the American Ethanol e15 225 when rain stopped Friday’s qualifying session for the race with four drivers still waiting to post a time.
Heavy rains in the evening then forced postponement of Friday’s scheduled race until Saturday (10:30 a.m. ET on FS2).
Because the first round of qualifying was not completed, the starting order was set by practice speeds, with Larson earning the top spot. Two-time defending series champion Matt Crafton will start on the outside of the front row.
Series leader Erik Jones, who holds a three-point edge over Crafton entering the race, is eighth on the grid.
