Rookie Sheldon Creed will start third in his fifth straight top-10 qualifying effort. Kyle Busch and Austin Hill round out the top five.
Tyler Ankrum, who’s making his first start on a mile-and-a-half track since turning 18 a couple of weeks ago, will start sixth.
“This is a really cool experience,” he said earlier in the day. “I’ve always loved Texas.”
.@TylerAnkrum just jumped up and down on pit road after getting out of his truck. I think it's safe to say he's having a good time. #NASCAR
