Pushing his disappointment to the back of his mind over not qualifying for the 500, Kerry Earnhardt bounced back to take the pole in the Craftsman Truck Series Florida Dodge Dealers 250. Driving the back-up truck, Kerry turned a lap of 182.478 to put his Chevrolet into the top spot. Second place qualifier Dennis Setzer, and third place qualifier Robert Huffman will both have to start from the back of the field because of engine changes.
Earnhardt has four career victories in the ARCA series. He has run a limited schedule in the Busch series, but this was his first attempt at qualifying for Cup racing at Daytona. Unfortunately, he just missed out on the 500 by a few feet to Kenny Wallace.
