Crawford, who holds the record for most starts in the series with 301, posted the best lap around the half-mile, "paper-clip" track in 19.988 seconds (94.737 m.p.h.) in his No. 14 Circle Bar Racing Ford.

"It just feels good anytime to be up front, especially on the pole here," Crawford said. "We're a little bit bruised up this year. We're not running the way we want to. (Crew chief) Kevin Starland and the whole International Truck Engine team have been working really hard. This might heal us up a little bit. So we might have a good run here today."

Crawford scored his sixth career Truck Series pole and his second at Martinsville. His first pole here came in October 2005.
