The Roush Fenway group is blinding the competition lately. With the Cup Series stars peforming at extremely high levels, the organizations drivers in the Craftsman Truck Series want to show everyone that they are just as brilliant.

 

That group of drivers earned Jack Roush the first 1-2-3 start - for a owner - in Craftsman Truck Series history.

 

At a speed of 181.753 mph Erik Darnell was able to land his No. 99 Roush Fewnay Racing Ford F-150 in the pole spot for Saturday's Mountain Dew 250 at Talladega Superspeedway.

 

John Wes Townley was able to grab the spot to Darnell's right hand side by turning a lap of 181.563 mph. With an average start of 18.2, Townley is obviously aiming to improve himself on the track and on paper.

 

The last of the Roush Fenway drivers, but certainly not the least, was able to navigate the superspeedway at a speed of 181.093 mph. Colin Braun's efforts were good enough to earn the third starting spot for Saturday's festivities.

 

Another Ford was able to land in the top-5 starters for the Mountain Dew 250, and that Ford is driven by Jon Wood. Wood piloted his his No. 21 Air Force Ford at a speed 179.289 mph, earning the fourth starting position.

 

Todd Bodine wrapped up the top-5 in his Germain Racing Toyota Tundra.

 

Concluding the top-10 were Joey Logano - who will make his first start in the Craftsman Truck Series Saturday, Ron Hornaday Jr., Dennis Setzer, last weeks winner Mike Skinner and Mike Wallace.

 

Points leader Johnny Benson will start from the 17th position.
