Qualifying
Qualifying was held on Friday, May 24, at 4:05 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]
Ty Gibbs, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, would score the pole for the race, with a lap of 30.475, and a speed of 177.194 mph (285.166 km/h).[10]
Two drivers would fail to qualify: Jade Buford and Akinori Ogata.
