    The 2020 NASCAR Truck Series champion will sit on the pole for yet another event behind the wheel of a stock truck. Sheldon Creed took the Young's Motorsports No. 20 Chevrolet Silverado to the top of the leaderboard during the qualifying time trials held on Friday, March 25th.

In an interview after the conclusion of the qualifying session, Creed had stated that the Young's Motorsports crew may have to change the fuel pump in the No. 20 machine, which means that Creed would possibly have to start at the tail end of the 36-truck field. 

If that is the case though, there definitely isn't a lack of speed in the No. 20 truck, as Creed had a fast lap of 134.924 seconds (90.985 MPH). Runner-up qualifier Zane Smith wasn't far behind with his lap time of 135.213 seconds (90.790 MPH).
