NASCAR Qualifying Report

Cody Ware backs it hard into the wall during practice. The No. 51 will not take part in qualifying.

Josh Berry also will not qualify. The diffuser of the car knocked off the pavement and the team is now going to replace the entire rear clip as the diffuser bracket is bent.

Bubba Wallace is struggling to fire his car. The crew is attempting to give him a push start but the car won’t start. Wallace will not take part in qualifying.

William Byron spins on his qualifying lap. He slams the inside wall. The team will probably unload a backup.

Chase Elliott was on track as Byron hit the wall. He was called to the pit lane and NASCAR will give him an extra set of tires as he makes another qualifying run.

Denny Hamlin will start from the pole position. He turned a laptime at 52.144 seconds.
