Atlanta Motor Speedway is a 1.54-mile entertainment facility in Hampton, Georgia, United States, 20 miles (32 km) south of Atlanta. It has annually hosted NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car races since its inauguration in 1960.
The venue was bought by Speedway Motorsports in 1990. In 1994, 46 condominiums were built over the northeastern side of the track. In 1997, to standardize the track with Speedway Motorsports' other two intermediate ovals, the entire track was almost completely rebuilt. The frontstretch and backstretch were swapped, and the configuration of the track was changed from oval to quad-oval, with a new official length of 1.54-mile (2.48 km) where before it was 1.522-mile (2.449 km). The project made the track one of the fastest on the NASCAR circuit.
The first and only practice session was held on Friday, February 27, at 2:30 PM EST, and would last for 2 hours and 55 minutes. [2] Brad Keselowski, driving for his own team, Brad Keselowski Racing, would set the fastest time in the session, with a lap of 31.025, and an average speed of 178.695 mph (287.582 km/h). [3]

Qualifying was held on Saturday, February 28, at 10:40 AM EST. [2] The qualifying system used is a multi car, multi lap, three round system where in the first round, everyone would set a time to determine positions 25–32. Then, the fastest 24 qualifiers would move on to the second round to determine positions 13–24. Lastly, the fastest 12 qualifiers would move on to the third round to determine positions 1-12. [4]
Ben Kennedy, driving for Red Horse Racing, would win the pole after advancing from the preliminary rounds and setting the fastest time in Round 3, with a lap of 31.378, and an average speed of 176.684 mph (284.345 km/h).

Kennedy was the only driver to set a lap time in the third round. [5]
