Troy Martin had the fastest car in qualifying Tuesday night, as he set
his Ford on the
pole position for Wednesday's World Crown 300 at the Georgia
International
Speedway.
Martin took a lap at 19.367 to grab the award, nipping last year's
World Crown
300 champ Brandon Reed by less than a tenth for the top starting spot.
Speeds were considerably lower than in practice, due to warmer
temperatures
experienced in the north Georgia area.
After qualifying, a field of 19 SuperTrucks took the green flag in the
Tabasco 150,
and at the end it was the Dodge of Lee Wheeler scoring the victory in
dominating
fashion, leading 75 laps of the event. The only other leader all
night was the chevy of
Johnathan Chandler, who also led 75 laps, but retired just after the
halfway mark
with engine failure.
The World Crown 300 will be take the green flag at 7:30 tomorrow
night. Happy
hour practice will be held at 4 p.m.
