Qualifying [ edit ]
Qualifying was split into two rounds. The first round was held on Wednesday, October 4, at 8:00 PM EST . Each driver would have two laps to set a fastest time; the fastest of the two would count as their official qualifying lap. During the first round, the top 25 drivers in the round would be guaranteed a starting spot in the race. If a driver was not able to guarantee a spot in the first round, they had the option to scrub their time from the first round and try and run a faster lap time in a second round qualifying run, held on Thursday, October 5, at 6:00 PM EST . As with the first round, each driver would have two laps to set a fastest time; the fastest of the two would count as their official qualifying lap.[4] Positions 26-36 would be decided on time, while positions 37-43 would be based on provisionals. Six spots were awarded by the use of provisionals based on owner's points. The seventh was awarded to a past champion who has not otherwise qualified for the race. If no past champion needs the provisional, the next team in the owner points was awarded a provisional.[5]
Jeff Gordon , driving for Hendrick Motorsports , would win the pole, setting a time of 29.101 and an average speed of 185.561 miles per hour (298.631 km/h) in the first round.[6]
Seven drivers would fail to qualify.
