Points leader William Byron, Chase Elliott, who is second in the points, and Denny Hamlin, who is fourth in points, each did not make a qualifying attempt and will start at the rear of the field.

Byron and Elliott hit the wall in separate incidents in practice and their teams skipped qualifying to repair their cars. Hamlin’s car blew an engine on his first lap of practice.

Bubba Wallace, who holds the final playoff spot with eight races left in the regular season, will start 37th after an incident during his qualifying run.

This was the first race since the Daytona 500 where more than 40 cars were entered. There were 41 cars entered, meaning one car would fail to qualify.

Katherine Legge bumped Corey Heim for the final spot. Heim’s qualifying session was shortened when his 23XI Racing car hit the wall.
