Background

Bristol Motor Speedway, formerly known as Bristol International Raceway and Bristol Raceway, is a NASCAR short track venue located in Bristol, Tennessee. Constructed in 1960, it held its first NASCAR race on July 30, 1961. Bristol is among the most popular tracks on the NASCAR schedule because of its distinct features, which include extraordinarily steep banking, an all-concrete surface, two pit roads, and stadium-like seating. It has also been named one of the loudest NASCAR tracks. The track is billed as the "World's Fastest Half-Mile", even though that designation technically belongs to the Volusia Speedway Park dirt track.

Practice

For practice, drivers will be separated into two groups, Group A and B. Both sessions will be 15 minutes long, and was held on Thursday, September 15, at 4:30 PM EST.^[3] Matt DiBenedetto, driving for Rackley WAR, was the fastest driver in total, with a lap of 15.574, and an average speed of 123.205 mph (198.279 km/h).

Qualifying

Qualifying was held on Thursday, September 15, at 5:05 PM EST.^[3] Since Bristol Motor Speedway is a short track, the qualifying system used is a single-car, two-lap system with only one round. Whoever sets the fastest time in the round wins the pole.^[4] Derek Kraus, driving for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, scored the pole for the race, with a lap of 15.276, and an average speed of 125.609 mph (202.148 km/h).^[5]
