Erik Jones, fresh off the announcement of a full-time Camping World Truck Series gig for 2015, set the Phoenix International Raceway qualifying record and will lead the field to green in Friday night's Lucas Oil 150.
The Kyle Busch Motorsports driver led the first round with a best speed of 134.253 mph then followed that up with a blistering, record-setting clip of 135.532 mph to take the 21 Means 21 Pole Award. Jones won this race last year in just his fifth series start, becoming -- at the time -- the youngest NASCAR national series winner in history.
Jones will be joined on front row by Toyota stablemate and points leader Matt Crafton, who was more than a full mph off Jones' pace at 134.399 mph.
A pair of Bens will follow in Kennedy (134.218 mph) and Rhodes (134.123 mph).
Austin Dillon, making a Truck Series start in the No. 14 Chevrolet, will start 12th after spinning a lap at 133.269 mph.
Championship contender Ryan Blaney will start 17th after not advancing to the second and final round of qualifying.
The Lucas Oil 150 starts at 8:30 p.m. ET, with coverage on FOX Sports 1.
