Austin Dillon secured the Keystone Light Pole Award on Saturday morning, turning a track-record lap of 133.296 mph at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
The pole position was Dillon's first of the year and 13th of his career in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. The former series champion's GMS Racing No. 33 Chevrolet will start first in Saturday's UNOH 175 (1 p.m. ET, FOX Sports 1, PRN, SiriusXM), the 500th race in series history.
Fellow Sprint Cup Series regular Kyle Busch, a three-time Truck Series winner at New Hampshire, was second-fastest at 132.572 mph as an owner/driver in the No. 51 Toyota. Truck series rookie Cameron Hayley was third-fastest, followed by series points leader Erik Jones and rookie Dalton Sargeant completing the top five.
Jones, 19, enters the race with a slight advantage in the standings in the Kyle Busch Motorsports No. 4 Toyota. His closest competitor, fellow 19-year-old Tyler Reddick, is just 10 points back and will start 14th Saturday in the Brad Keselowski Racing No. 19 Ford.
Two-time defending series champion Matt Crafton, just 11 points behind Jones, will start 10th in Saturday's 175-lapper in the ThorSport Racing No. 88 Toyota.
Dillon topped the first two rounds of qualifying, turning a track-record lap of 132.595 mph in the second session to easily advance.
The opening 25-minute session was marked by a pair of spins in Turn 2, the first coming from Japanese driver Akinori Ogata, preparing for his second start in the series. The second was for Johnny Sauter, who looped the ThorSport Racing No. 98 Toyota on a warm-up lap.
Norm Benning and Josh Reaume failed to qualify for the 32-truck field.
