The starting field for the Truck race was set according to speeds from Thursday’s rain-shortened practice. The method put Kansas winner William Byron on the pole with Spencer Gallagher beside him on the front row and Ben Kennedy and Johnny Sauter third and fourth, respectively.
Series leader Matt Crafton will start from the 17th starting spot.
