#18-Joe Ruttman, the series’ oldest driver at 56, will seek his 16th pole Saturday in qualifying for Sunday’s Ram Tough 200 in Madison, Ill. He matched Mike Skinner’s series record last month in Martinsville, Va., then finished fourth. “The pole would be especially cool just because the guys really want me to have the record,” said Ruttman, who won the season-opening race at Daytona from the pole for his 11th series victory. “They make it easy to run fast with the trucks they build.”(That’s Racin’/AP)(5-3-2001)
