NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Championship contender Ron Hornaday, Jr., driver of No. 33 VFW Chevrolet, won the Keystone Light Pole Award for Friday night's Lucas Oil 150 at Phoenix International Raceway. Hornaday rolled to the top of the leaderboard with a fast lap of 27.319 seconds averaging 131.776 mph around the one-mile oval in Avondale, Arizona. Hornaday scored his fifth pole of the 2008 season, the 19th pole of his career that includes 224 truck series starts and counting at PIR. Toyota driver Kyle Busch posted his 10th top-10 start of the 2008 season and his third in four truck races at Phoenix International Raceway. Erik Darnell and his No. 99 Ford team posted his first top-10 start at Phoenix and 11th Top-10 start this season. Scott Speed qualified fourth and was the quickest Raybestos Rookie contender.

OK, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series fans, try this one on for weird: Ron Hornaday Jr. crashed on the very first lap of the Lucas Oil 150 at Phoenix International Raceway, forcing him to the pits for 28 agonizing laps of repairs, en route to finishing 34 laps down in a 150-lap race. And in the process, he cut his points deficit to leader Johnny Benson in half with just one race left in the season. Yes, you read that correctly. Hornaday wrecked on the first lap, lost 28 laps in the pits and gained points in a race won by his teammate, friend and boss Kevin Harvick, who became the third different KHI driver to win in successive races. That made it the first time three drivers from the same team have won three straight Truck races. Needless to say, it was a very, very strange evening as Harvick won over Kyle Busch, Todd Bodine and Brian Scott.

This just in: The 2008 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship will be decided in the final race of the year at Homestead-Miami Speedway after all. Ron Hornaday Jr. crashed on Lap 1 of the Lucas Oil 150 at Phoenix International Raceway Friday night and finished 25th, while Johnny Benson crashed on Lap 87 and finished 26th, one position behind his championship rival. The net result was that Benson's 6-point lead before the race is now a 3-point lead heading into Homestead next week.
