Report
Background
The race was held at Michigan International Speedway, a moderate-banked D-shaped speedway located in Brooklyn, Michigan. The track is used primarily for NASCAR events. It is known as a "sister track" to Texas World Speedway as MIS's oval design was a direct basis of TWS, with moderate modifications to the banking in the corners, and was used as the basis of Auto Club Speedway. The track is owned by International Speedway Corporation. Michigan International Speedway is recognized as one of motorsports' premier facilities because of its wide racing surface and high banking (by open-wheel standards; the 18-degree banking is modest by stock car standards).

Qualifying Qualifying was held on Saturday, June 6, at 10:35 AM EST. Since Michigan International Speedway is a superspeedway with intermediate rules, the qualifying procedure used was a single-car, one-lap system with one round. Drivers were on track by themselves and had one lap to post a qualifying time, and whoever set the fastest time won the pole.
Road course qualifying rules were in effect. The timing line was set in Turn 3, where cars exited pit road, and drove five-eighths of a lap, then took the green flag in the north chute exiting Turn 3 and completed their lap there the next time by. Teams then immediately pitted the car, meaning only two laps were run. Indianapolis and Michigan both use restrictor plates.
Ty Majeski, driving for ThorSport Racing, qualified on pole position with a lap of 39.257 seconds, and a speed of .
No drivers failed to qualify.
