Setzer joins reigning 2007 champion Ron Hornaday, Jr. who will start on the outside front row in the second position. Hornaday posted his 15th top-10 start of 2008 and his fifth in six races at Gateway International Raceway.

Three-time and defending NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Champion Ron Hornaday Jr. scored a dominating victory in the Camping World 200 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Gateway International Raceway Saturday afternoon. And in the process, he served notice that he has not conceded the 2008 NCTS title to points leader Johnny Benson. Hornaday was the man from the start, leading 112 of 160 laps as he scored his fourth NCTS victory of 2008 and the 37th of his storied career. Finishing behind Hornaday were Dennis Setzer, Benson, Todd Bodine and Jack Sprague. The action began at the drop of the green flag, as Hornaday moved his Camping World Chevrolet Silverado from its second-place qualifying spot into the lead, going high to pass the No. 18 Royal Gate Dodge Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Setzer, the Keystone Light pole-winner. The first caution came when Bobby East wrecked his Zaxby's Ford F-150 at the exit of Turn 2 on Lap 6, bringing out the yellow flag. East spun coming out of the corner and backed his Ford into the inside backstretch wall, necessitating the caution period.
