## Starting lineup

Qualifying was originally scheduled to be held on Friday, July 12, at 2:30 PM EST.
Pocono Raceway is the only oval in the Truck Series with a road course-style rule. While the system is a single-truck system with only one lap, drivers will exit pit lane and run down the Long Pond Straight into Turn 2 before starting their timed lap at the exit to post a qualifying time, and whoever sets the fastest time in that round will win the pole.
Qualifying was cancelled due to inclement weather, with the starting lineup based on the pandemic formula. As a result, Christian Eckes, driving for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, would start on the pole.
No drivers would fail to qualify.
