Jeb Burton Wins the Pole and Sets New Track Record at Rockingham Speedway

Jeb Burton continues the momentum at Rockingham Speedway by winning the Keystone 21 Means 21 Pole Award in today’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race. This is his second consecutive pole and also set a new track record with a speed of 146.909 mph in the No. 4 Arrowhead Chevrolet.

This is the same truck that Kasey Kahne drove to victory last year in the inaugural North Carolina Education Lottery 200.

James Buescher will start on the outside pole.  Last spring, he finished the race in second place and is hoping to capture his fifth win today.

Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott and Matt Crafton complete the top five in the starting lineup.

Today’s race will be Crafton’s 297th consecutive start and will replace a record previously held by Terry Cook.

Ryan Blaney will begin the race from the sixth position, followed by Joey Logano in seventh place. Dakoda Armstrong, Brendan Gaughan and Darrell Wallace Jr. will round out the top ten starting positions.

The green flag will wave at 2:18 p.m. for the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at The Rock when track president, Andy Hillenburg, gives the command, “Drivers, start your engines.”
