This will be the fifth time in 2026 that the No. 45 23XI Racing Toyota will start from pole, and the second due to a rainout (Atlanta).
The field will be set by the metric, a combination of a car's place in the owner standings (30%), and the entry's finish in the most recent race (70%).
Denny Hamlin will start third, Bubba Wallace fourth, and Chase Briscoe fifth., Brad Keselowski, William Byron, Chase Elliott, Ty Gibbs, and Chris Buescher fill out the remainder of the top ten.
Unfortunately, there were 41 entries or Sunday's race, so one car was sent home. That will be the No. 62 Beard Motorsports Chevrolet with driver Casey Mears, putting a dent in his plans to reach 500 career starts by the end of the year. The team has now DNQed in both of their attempts this year, also missing the field for the Daytona 500.
