Friday's qualifying also saw Angie Wilson take a provisional at No. 34 in the 36-truck field. She can become the first female driver to compete in a Truck Series event since Nov. 8, 1998, when Tammy Jo Kirk raced at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Andy Petree, Rick Crawford and Dennis Setzer round out the top five qualifiers for the 125-mile race.
