On Saturday morning, the NASCAR Cup Series held the qualifying session for this weekend's Enjoy Illinois 300 at World Wide Technology Raceway (otherwise known as Gateway). This qualifying session consisted of two rounds.
The first round was split into two groups, and the five fastest drivers from each group advanced to the second round. In the second round, the drivers that advanced made a second attempt to determine starting positions first through 10th. From there, the speeds from round one determined the rest of the starting positions, with Group A drivers filling out the outside row with Group B drivers filling out the inside row.
The five fastest drivers that advanced out of the first group were: Austin Cindric, Christopher Bell, Ty Gibbs, Kyle Busch, and Joey Logano. In the second group, the five fastest advancing were: Michael McDowell, Tyler Reddick, Ryan Blaney, Bubba Wallace, and Brad Keselowski.
