NASCAR plans new qualifying procedure for Pocono Truck Race

[slorydn1]

NASCAR announced today that it will revise the qualifying procedure for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series' inaugural Pocono Mountains 125 at Pocono Raceway on Saturday, July 31, with a multi-truck session on the 2.5-mile track. The order in which trucks will qualify for the 36 available positions will be based on their practice speeds from final practice on Friday, July 30. Times will be inverted, allowing the slowest truck in practice to be the first out in qualifying on Saturday morning, with the fastest truck going out last. Trucks will be released from pit road in approximately 25-second increments. Two laps of qualifying will be allowed with the fastest lap countinghttp://jayski.com/cts/ctsnews.htm

Not entirely new, looks like it will be similar to the way the Nationwide Series qualifies at the road courses.....

Still, it could make the end of the session a little more interesting :up:

Interesting. Road course qualifying at an oval. Should be neat to watch. i wish the truck qualifying was televised.

BTW, I assume the "go or go home" trucks aren't going to segregated in their own group, like they are at ovals.
