Qualifying
Qualifying was held on Friday, August 10, at 3:00 PM EST.[9] Since Richmond Raceway is a short track, the qualifying system used is a single-car, two-lap system with only one round. Drivers will be on track by themselves and will have two laps to post a qualifying time, and whoever sets the fastest time in that round will win the pole.[10]
Christian Eckes, driving for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, would score the pole for the race, with a lap of 22.755, and a speed of 118.655 mph (190.957 km/h).[11]
Trey Hutchens was the only driver who failed to qualify.
