Lawless Alan and Lavar Scott will comprise row two in third and fourth place. The duo are also second and third, respectively, in main series points.
In his second career start, Sam Corry will start fifth. Driving the No. 70 Toyota for Nitro, Corry debuted with a 13th-place finish at IRP.
Venturini Motorsports teammates Isabella Robusto, Kris Wright and Mason Mitchell will start sixth through eighth, respectively, followed by Eloy Sebastian in ninth and Tyler Reif in 10th.
Reif enters the Atlas 150 second in East points, trailing Isaac Kitzmiller by 14. Isaac Kitzmiller will start 11th. The Atlas 150 is the penultimate race of the East season.
