Shane van Gisbergen in the #88 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet Camaro.
The #88 Chevrolet Camaro qualified 13th, ahead of his teammates Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez in 15th and 17th respectively.
Earlier, Chastain topped practice but grazed the wall late in the session, leaving the #1 crew with to do a quick repair job on his car.
Qualifying was topped by Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin in the #11 Toyota Camry in what was a windy session.
“I felt good about it truthfully,” said Hamlin, who won the 2021 edition of the Las Vegas race.
“There wasn’t a whole lot left out there for it. But a great job by this team to get my car good. It was good in the short run in practice as well, got to work on it for the long run for tomorrow.
“But Saturday (qualifying) has always been our Achilles heel at this race track and that’s a great way to turn that around.”
