Qualifying

Qualifying was held on Saturday, May 4, at 11:35 AM CST. [10] Since Kansas Speedway is an intermediate speedway, the qualifying system used is a single-car, one-lap system with only one round.

Chase Purdy, driving for Spire Motorsports, would score the pole for the race, with a lap of 30.728, and a speed of 175.735 mph (282.818 km/h). [13]
