Shane van Gisbergen in the #97 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet Camaro.
Toyota driver Tyler Reddick continued his purple patch, putting his 23XI Racing entry on pole position.
There were mixed fortunes for Trackhouse Racing. Ross Chastain qualified the #1 Chevrolet Camaro in second, van Gisbergen was 13th, and Connor Zilisch in the #88 down in 25th.
The top five was completed by Chase Briscoe (#19 Joe Gibbs Racing Camry), Ryan Blaney (#12 Team Penske Mustang), and Chase Elliott (#9 Hendrick Motorsports Camaro).
“We’ll see how it gets going,” said Reddick.
“Certainly, Ross, Shane, Ryan Blaney—there’s a number of good drivers who were really strong in practice today.
“We’ll try to understand what that all looks like and make our best decisions on the car and everything.”
