The stage is nearly set for 35th annual Xtream Powered by Mediacom 360 Knoxville Nationals presented by Great Southern Bank as Kubota High Limit Racing campaigner Rico Abreu will start from the pole of Saturday's championship finale.

Abreu earned the pole position for Saturday's 30-lap, $35,000-to-win finale with Friday's qualifying night victory and strong showing in prelim action where he qualified seventh overall (despite going out 33rd of 43 cars) and going fifth-to-second in his heat race.

Parker Price-Miller ended up tying Abreu's high-point total of 485 points, but loses the tiebreaker and will start second instead Saturday aboard Bernie Stuebgen's No. 71. Thursday's high-point driver Kyle Larson will start fourth. Starting ninth, James McFadden is the highest-starting former 360 Nationals winner.

Among familiar 410 faces locked in: Ryan Timms (fifth), Justin Peck (sixth), Justin Sanders (eighth subbing for Aaron Reutzel in the Ridge & Sons Racing No. 87), Chase Randall (13th), Brian Brown (16th), Gio Scelzi (17th subbing for Tyler Courtney in the Clauson-Marshall Racing No. 7BC) and Tanner Holmes (20th).

Other familiar drivers with work left to make Saturday's A-Main: Daison Pursley (starts first in the B-Main), Kerry Madsen (starts second in the B-Main), Kasey Kahne (starts 16th in the B-Main) and Brenham Crouch (starts 11th in the C-Main).
