Rick Crawford will start second and Ted Musgrave was given the third starting spot. The lineup was based on owner points per the NASCAR rule book.

If history is any indication, Hamilton, who leads Crawford in the driver standings by 20 points, will have his hands full Friday. Musgrave won last year's Dover event and Rick Crawford took the pole.

Musgrave also won last weekend's race at Lowe's Motor Speedway.

Gaughan and Kvapil round out the top five. Dennis Setzer will start sixth, Terry Cook will start seventh, Rich Bickle is eighth, Robert Pressley is ninth and Jason Leffler starts 10th.
