Of the Championship 4 drivers, the champion is determined via the highest finisher of the four. Zane Smith is ahead of everyone when the green flag flies for the Lucas Oil 150 as he won the pole at Phoenix Raceway on Nov. 4 with a lap at 138.032 mph.

In his two Truck Series starts at the 1-mile track, Smith has finished second and fifth, respectively.

Two-time Trucks winner Corey Heim will start third. Tanner Gray and Stewart Friesen complete the starting top five in fourth and fifth place, respectively.

ThorSport Racing drivers qualified sixth through ninth with Rhodes, Christian Eckes, Ty Majeski and Matt Crafton starting sixth through ninth, respectively. Majeski paced the field during the practice session Thursday and he too is a Championship 4 driver. John Hunter Nemechek rounded out the top 10.
