Jack Sprague hit a milestone 25th NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Bud Pole in outqualifying the SYLVANIA 200 BY LOWE'S field on Friday at New Hampshire International Speedway. Sprague, driving the Chevy Trucks Chevrolet, set a one-lap record with an average speed of 128.515 mph. The old mark, 128.424, was set in 2002 by Jason Leffler. The pole was Sprague's fifth of the year - best on the series. Sprague now has three Bud Poles at NHIS, the last in 2001 when he led 188 of 200 laps for his only victory at the 1.058-mile flat speedway. The 200-lap race is Saturday.

Steve Park qualified second in the Orleans Racing Dodge, his best for the team this season. Park, whose speed was 128.307, will have to fall to the rear of the field because of a post-practice engine change.

Travis Kvapil will start third in a Toyota, followed by David Starr's Chevrolet and the Toyota of Raybestos Rookie of the Year leader David Reutimann.

Richmond Bud Pole winner Jamie McMurray, Hank Parker Jr., Shane Hmiel, Ricky Craven and Carl Edwards completed the top-10 qualifiers. Bobby Hamilton and Dennis Setzer, one-two in current points standings, will start 23rd and 30th, respectively.
