Qualifying
Qualifying was split into two rounds. The first round was held on Friday, April 28, at 4:00 PM EST. Each driver would have one lap to set a time. During the first round, the top 20 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 Saturday, April 29, at 11:30 PM EST. As with the first round, each driver would have one lap to set a time. For this specific race, positions 21-38 would be decided on time,[3] and depending on who needed it, a select amount of positions were given to cars who had not otherwise qualified but were high enough in owner's points; which was usually four. If needed, a past champion who did not qualify on either time or provisionals could use a champion's provisional, adding one more spot to the field.
Terry Labonte, driving for Hendrick Motorsports, would win the pole, setting a time of 48.725 and an average speed of 196.532 miles per hour (316.288 km/h) in the first round.[4]
Five drivers would fail to qualify.
