On Saturday afternoon, the NASCAR Cup Series held the qualifying session for this weekend's Quaker State 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, the first race of this year's playoffs.
The qualifying session consisted of two rounds. All 40 cars in the field attempted a lap in the first round, and from there, the 10 fastest drivers in round one advanced to the second and final round. Those drivers then made a second lap and that determined the starting positions first through 10th. The 11th through 40th starting positions were set based on speed in the first round among the drivers that didn't advance.
The 10 drivers that were fastest in round one that advanced to the final round of qualifying were: Todd Gilliland, Michael McDowell, Joey Logano, Kyle Larson, Austin Cindric, Ryan Preece, Josh Berry, Chase Briscoe, William Byron, and Chase Elliott.
