By admin April 10, 2009 Ace, NASCAR WSMT

Altamahaw, NC — Ron Silk topped the speed charts in practice at Ace Speedway, but rains right before qualifying have put everything on hold.

Teenager Erick Rudolph (No. 59 Ed Bennett Properties, Inc. Chevrolet) was second at 14.606 (98.590), just ahead of defending race winner L.W. Miller (No. 36 John Baker Plumbing & Utilities Pontiac) at 14.660 (98.226).
