Ryan Truex Takes New Hampshire Pole



LOUDON, N.H. (June 25, 2009) - NASCAR Camping World Series East rookie
Ryan Truex continued his hot streak Thursday afternoon when he won the
Coors Light Pole Award in advance of Friday's Heluva Good! Summer 125 at
New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Truex (No. 00 NAPA Toyota) earned his first career pole two races ago at
South Boston (Va.) Speedway and reached Victory Lane for the first time in
the series' last event at Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International. On Thursday
he kept the momentum going when he posted the fastest lap in qualifying at
30.433 seconds (125.113 mph).

Truex, who was the next-to-last car to last car to go out, knocked Eddie
MacDonald (No. 71 NEMO/Grimm Construction Chevrolet) off the provisional
pole. MacDonald won both of the New Hampshire races in 2008 and posted a
fast lap of 30.601 seconds (124.467 mph) during qualifying.

Kevin Swindell was third fastest in qualifying at 30.616 seconds (124.406
mph). Brett Moffitt (30.690/124.106) and Matt DiBenedetto (30.693/124.093)
rounded out the top five qualifiers.

Among the top five qualifiers, only MacDonald had previously turned laps
at the 1.058-mile track.

Steve Park, Matt Kobyluck, Alan Tardiff, Jody Lavender and Jeff Anton
completed the top 10 from Thursday's qualifying.

The Heluva Good! Summer 125 is slated to go green on Friday, June 26, at
5:10 p.m.
