The top three cars in qualifying were Fords. Two of those three were Front Row Motorsports Fords. Michael McDowell paced the field with a 52.609-second lap. He beat out Austin Cindric who posted a time of 52.691.

Todd Gilliland was third overall in the final qualifying round. Is this finally the big break that these Ford teams and drivers were looking for?
