Qualifying[edit]
Qualifying was held on Friday, May 24, at 2:05 PM EST.[7] Since Charlotte Motor Speedway is an intermediate speedway, 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.[9]
Tanner Gray, driving for Tricon Garage, would score the pole for the race, with a lap of 30.296, and a speed of 178.241 mph (286.851 km/h).[10]
