On Saturday afternoon, the NASCAR Cup Series held the qualifying session for this weekend's Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway. 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 and Group B drivers filling out the inside row.
The five fastest drivers that advanced out of the first group were: Kyle Larson, Josh Berry, Tyler Reddick, Ty Gibbs, and Austin Cindric. In the second group, the five fastest advancing were: Denny Hamlin, Christopher Bell, William Byron, Chris Buescher, and Brad Keselowski. This weekend marked the debut of the new qualifying procedure for the final round as well.
Final 10: Cindric Gibbs Reddick Berry Larson Keselowski Buescher Byron Bell Hamlin to final round. New system is based on second-round results, those five from Group A 1-to-5 on outside; Group B 1-to-5 on inside. Fastest overall is polesitter and chooses lane.
