This is the final superspeedway race of the season, one last wildcard event where anyone can win and shake up the Playoffs. Starting position doesn't mean anything at a track like Talladega, but we need an order to start with.
The qualifying session consisted of two rounds, as is the typical procedure for races at Talladega.
