Report
Two rounds of qualifying are on deck. The first round is 25 minutes with the fastest 12 drivers advancing into the final round.
Noah Gragson changed engines after issues yesterday in practice. Today, he remains in the garage. The team will start in the back regardless and they want to do it with sticker tires. He’ll have an advantage in the early laps of the race.
10 minutes remain, many fast teams sit outside the top 12. However, due to this being such a long track, many are electing to just sit instead of putting another lap on their tires. They have to start the race on this set.
7 minutes remain in round one, AJ Allmendinger gets held up by Matt Jaskol on his lap. He loses 3 tenths making that pass but still jumps to 3rd on the board so far.
5 minutes remain, Matt Jaskol is around and in the grass. He keeps it rolling, no caution.
2 minutes remain, Kevin Harvick sits 20th on the board. He heads out for another lap as the time is soon to expire in round one.

Round 2
The green is out on round two, this is an 8 minute session.
Hemric is the first car to set a time in round two. He’s a half second quicker and may have been saving tire in his round one run.
Michael Annett transferred into round two but he’s elected to sit it out in the garage and save tires.
2 minutes remain in round two, Cindric is flying and using every inch of the road. He kicks up dust in back to back corner as half of his rear tire is hanging off the track at corner exit.
Ty Gibbs to the top of the board and he’ll start from the pole position in Saturday’s race at Road America!
