Two drivers would crash in qualifying: debuter Denny Hamlin would crash on his second lap coming into Turn 3, and Kasey Kahne would crash on his warm-up lap coming into the frontstretch.[6] While both drivers would qualify on owner's points, they would both have to start at the back for the race due to switching to a backup car.

Six drivers would fail to qualify: Robby Gordon, Carl Long, Wayne Anderson, Tony Raines, Eric McClure, and P. J. Jones.
