The track measures 1.5 miles (2.4 km) around and is banked 24 degrees in the turns, and is of the oval design, where the front straightaway juts outward slightly.

Qualifying

[edit]

Qualifying was held on Saturday, April 8, at 9:35 AM CST.[3] Since Texas Motor Speedway is under 2 miles (3.2 km), the qualifying system was a multi-car system that included three rounds. The first round was 15 minutes, where every driver would be able to set a lap within the 15 minutes. Then, the second round would consist of the fastest 24 cars in Round 1, and drivers would have 10 minutes to set a lap. Round 3 consisted of the fastest 12 drivers from Round 2, and the drivers would have 5 minutes to set a time. Whoever was fastest in Round 3 would win the pole.[6]

Joey Logano of Team Penske would win the pole after advancing from both preliminary rounds and setting the fastest lap in Round 3, with a time of 28.013 and an average speed of 192.768 miles per hour (310.230 km/h).[7]

Two drivers would fail to qualify: Stephen Leicht and Mike Harmon.
