Qualifying
Qualifying was originally going to be held on Friday, May 20, at 5:30 pm EST.[2] Since Charlotte Motor Speedway is at least 1.5 miles (2.4 km) in length, the qualifying system was a single car, single lap, two round system where in the first round, everyone would set a time to determine positions 13–32. Then, the fastest 12 qualifiers would move on to the second round to determine positions 1–12.[4]
Qualifying would be cancelled due to inclement weather. The starting lineup would be determined by speeds during practice. As a result, William Byron, driving for Kyle Busch Motorsports would earn the pole.[5]
Austin Cindric, Caleb Holman, Jesse Little, and Austin Hill would fail to qualify.
