Crispy M&M’s Pole Qualifying gets underway at 5:45 p.m. this afternoon. Drivers will go through three rounds of knockout qualifying to see who will receive the sweet reward of sitting on the pole for the TOYOTA OWNERS 400. The first round all drivers will go out and battle for a spot in the field for 20 minutes. Positions 25-43 will be set, while the Top 24 go on to the second round. These drivers will go through another 10 minutes of qualifying to see who makes the Top 12, while positions 13-24 are set. The final round of knockout qualifying will be a five minute sprint to see who takes the pole position. Sound intense? Just stick around and see.
