(Sports Network) - Craftsman Truck Series points leader Johnny Benson captured the pole for Friday night's Camping World RV Sales 200 at the historic Milwaukee Mile. The No.23 Toyota circled the flat one-mile oval in 29.732 seconds (121.082 m.p.h.).
The pole victory was Benson's second of the season and fourth of his truck career.
Starting on the front row with Benson will be Rick Crawford who posted a time of 29.810 seconds.
Mike Skinner (29.825) and rookie Colin Braun (29.843) will make up row two.
The past five points leaders have all fallen out of the top spot after the next race. Defending Series champion Ron Hornaday Jr. was leading the standings after the sixth race at Charlotte, but Todd Bodine, Rick Crawford, Hornaday Jr. again and this week Benson have all taken turns leading the points.
In last year's victory, Benson beat Hornaday Jr. by almost one second.
Tonight's event is set to drop the green flag at 9 p.m. (et).
