The NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series got less than a half hour of practice into their debut on the 14-turn, 1.8-mile downtown St. Petersburg Street Course before rain moved in and cancelled the remaining track activity.
NASCAR set the starting lineup for Saturday’s OnlyBulls Green Flag 150 at St. Petersburg (noon ET., FOX, NRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) based on the rulebook with Connor Mosack claiming pole position. He will start the No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevy alongside Gio Ruggiero in the No. 17 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota.
Championship points leader Chandler Smith will line up fifth.
Former IndyCar star and current FOX Sports broadcaster James Hinchcliffe will start the No. 77 Spire Motorsports Chevy third in his series debut. Three-time Indianapolis 500 champion Dario Franchitti will start the No. 1 TRICON Garage Toyota sixth on the 36-truck grid with the Kaulig Racing RAM Truck “Free Agent” driver Colin Braun rolling off from the 16th position.
Kaden Honeycutt, driver of the No. 11 TRICON Garage Toyota, was fastest in the short practice session.
