Qualifying
editQualifying was held on Friday, May 31, at 5:35 PM EST.[10] Since World Wide Technology Raceway is a 1.25 miles (2.01 km) oval, the qualifying system used is a single-car, one-lap system with only one round. Drivers will be on track by themselves and will have one lap to post a qualifying time. Whoever sets the fastest time in that round will win the pole.[12]
Ty Majeski, driving for ThorSport Racing, would score the pole for the race, with a lap of 32.475, and a speed of 138.568 mph (223.004 km/h).[13]
