(Sports Network) - Mike Skinner won the pole for Saturday's Heluva Good! 200 Camping World Truck Series race by the slimmest of margins over Kyle Busch at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Skinner, who has won the last two truck races, turned a lap around the 1.058- mile oval at 127.992 m.p.h. (29.758 seconds) for his second pole of the season and the 49th of his career. He also collected his third pole at New Hampshire. Skinner's qualifying time was only 0.002 seconds quicker than Kyle Busch, who starts on the outside pole.

Busch also has won the last two truck races he has competed in -- Bristol and Chicagoland.

Ron Hornaday Jr., the current points leader, will start third, followed by Austin Dillon and Sprint Cup Series regular Kevin Harvick.

Brian Scott, Johnny Sauter, Matt Crafton, Colin Braun and James Buescher will roll off sixth through 10th, respectively.

All drivers who qualified made the starting field.

Today's 200-lap race is scheduled to begin around 3:00 p.m. (et).
