Martinsville, VA (My Sportsbook) - Rick Crawford will start on the pole for Saturday's Kroger 250 Camping World Truck Series race at Martinsville Speedway.

Crawford, who holds the record for most starts in the series with 301, posted the best lap around the half-mile, "paper-clip" track in 19.988 seconds (94.737 m.p.h.) in his No. 14 Circle Bar Racing Ford.

"It just feels good anytime to be up front, especially on the pole here," Crawford said. "We're a little bit bruised up this year. We're not running the way we want to. (Crew chief) Kevin Starland and the whole International Truck Engine team have been working really hard. This might heal us up a little bit. So we might have a good run here today."

Crawford scored his sixth career Truck Series pole and his second at Martinsville. His first pole here came in October 2005.

Shane Sieg secured the outside pole, his career-best start. Sieg turned in the second quickest lap in 20.075 seconds (94.326 m.p.h.).

Defending series champion Johnny Benson qualified third. Benson captured his first win at Martinsville when the series last ran here in October.

Ron Hornaday Jr. took fourth in qualifying, and Colin Braun was fifth.

Kevin Harvick, Max Papis, Matt Crafton, Mike Skinner and Timothy Peters completed the top-10.

Kyle Busch, the current points leader and winner of the last two races, qualified 11th.

All 36 drivers who participated in qualifying will be in the race.

The 250-lap race is scheduled to begin around 2:00 p.m. (et).
