Norm Benning was the first driver out on the track. Jennifer Jo Cobb had actually been scheduled to go out first, but her team encountered problems with her truck before she made her run. She was put on the five minute clock, but her team could not get the truck fixed and she didn't make a run. Consequently, she did not make the race because she had to qualify on time. Benning ran a slow lap and was the second and final driver to miss the race. The pole switched back and forth between the drivers who qualified at the beginning of the session, but that changed when Tim George Jr. took the provisional pole. It would be seven drivers before Ross Chastain was able to overtake George's lap. It was six more drivers before Kyle Busch was able to overtake Chastain's lap. Finally, Jeb Burton grabbed the pole right after Busch's run and he would not give it up. But the session would not end without an incident. German Quiroga was very loose on his run. He made a slide on his first lap in turn 4, but he was able to save it. He decided to run a second lap and it went downhill. He went into turn 4 on the second lap and he made a slide once again. He was unable to save it this time and made contact with the outside wall. He received minor damage and his team should be able to fix the truck before the race tonight. Timothy Peters was the final driver out and he made his run, but he was unable to surpass Burton's time. With that, Jeb Burton grabbed his third pole of the season.
Burton has been a definite surprise this year in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. He has the three poles and two top 5's along with three top 10's to go with it. After the race at Kansas, he sits in third place in the points and has a good shot and grabbing the championship lead with his momentum. But Burton doesn't have one thing yet in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series: a win. He came close to one at Martinsville, but he is looking to close the deal tonight and capture his first career victory. It should be a great Friday Night Show with a lot of beating and banging. I hope you guys can tune in to see it.
