Justin Allgaier ended the Cup domination with a 7th place qualifying run, followed by Nationwide Series rookie Colin Braun and Series regular Scott Lagasse, Jr in 8th and 9th. Cup driver Kevin Harvick rounded out the top-10.

Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., Braun's Roush Fenway Racing teammate, was the second highest rookie in qualifying with his 14th place run.

Mark Green was the only driver who failed to qualify for tonight's event.
