The much anticipated first round of group qualifying for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in 2014 will have to wait until Martinsville in March. The first planned group qualifying session was supposed to be held at Daytona, but rain began to fall throughout the afternoon and the result was a canceled qualifying session for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. To decide the line-up, NASCAR took the three practice sessions and ordered the fastest laps together with the fastest driver starting on pole. The fastest driver out of all three practice sessions was Ben Kennedy and he will start the series first race of the season from the pole position. It is Kennedy's first pole in Trucks in his first race at the famed track known as Daytona. Ron Hornaday Jr., Ryan Blaney, Matt Crafton, and Joey Coulter round out the top 5 for tonight's race. Like most qualifying sessions that are rained out, good drivers are starting at the front, but good drivers are also starting at the back of the field. It will be a definite challenge for all these drivers at the back to move to the front while avoiding all the Daytona trouble. It will definitely be a good show when the Trucks head on track tonight for the annual NextEra Energy Resources 250 at Daytona. Will Johnny Sauter win two in a row at the track, will Matt Crafton start off his championship defending season with a win, or will another driver shock the world as he looks to take the championship in 2014? We only have to wait a short little while before we find answers to these questions and more.
