=Qualifying
Ty Gibbs scored the pole for the race with a time of 52.929 and a speed of 170.039 mph (273.651 km/h).
It was the first year the Cup Series used road course qualifying regulations, a procedure where teams did not use the start-finish line but used a timing line on the circuit for their lap, which was also used at Indianapolis. Teams started their lap midway down the North Straight exiting Turn 2 after less than two-thirds of a lap to warm up. After completing their lap in the North Straight, teams then pitted their cars. Only two, instead of three, laps would be driven by drivers under the use of the hybrid road course and longer speedway qualifying procedure.
