Qualifying

[edit]

Qualifying was held on Friday, March 14, at 1:40 PM PST.[10] Since Las Vegas Motor Speedway is an intermediate speedway, the qualifying procedure used is a single-car, single-lap system with one round. Drivers will be on track by themselves and will have one lap to post a qualifying time, and whoever sets the fastest time will win the pole.[11]

Corey Day, driving for Spire Motorsports, would score the pole for the race, with a lap of 30.388, and a speed of 177.702 mph (285.984 km/h).[12]

No drivers would fail to qualify.
