Carl Edwards will start second after recording a speed of 80.116 to place the #60 Roush Fenway Ford on the front row.

Canadian Ron Fellows, who drove the #5 Chevrolet to victory last year at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in the first ever NASCAR points race conducted in the rain, qualified third.

Boris Said and Brad Coleman rounded out the top five qualifiers.

Jacques Villeneuve, Justin Marks, Antonio Perez, Andrew Ranger and Paul Menard will start sixth through tenth.

Rain is in the forecast for tomorrow with the NAPA 200 scheduled to begin at 2:30 pm ET.
