Report
editBackground
edit
Nashville Superspeedway is a motor racing complex located in Lebanon, Tennessee, United States, about 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Nashville. The track was built in 2001 and is currently used for events, driving schools and GT Academy, a reality television competition.[citation needed]
It is a concrete oval track 1 1⁄3 miles (2.146 km) long. Nashville Superspeedway is owned by Dover Motorsports, Inc., which also owns Dover International Speedway. Nashville Superspeedway was the longest concrete oval in NASCAR during the time it was on the NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series circuits. Current permanent seating capacity is approximately 25,000. Additional portable seats are brought in for some events, and seating capacity can be expanded to 150,000. Infrastructure is in place to expand the facility to include a short track, drag strip, and road course.[citation needed]

Qualifying
editQualifying was held on Friday, June 28, at 4:05 PM CST.[6] Since Nashville Superspeedway is an intermediate speedway, the qualifying system used is a single-car, one-lap based system. All drivers will be on track by themselves and will have one lap to post a qualifying time, and whoever sets the fastest time in that session will win the pole.[7]
Stewart Friesen, driving for Halmar Friesen Racing, would score the pole for the race, with a lap of 30.117, and a speed of 158.980 mph (255.854 km/h).[8]
Three drivers would fail to qualify: Keith McGee, Justin Carroll, and Bryan Dauzat.
