With no practice, the 37 drivers in the Xfinity Series hit the track of Atlanta Motor Speedway to qualify for the Focused Health 250.

There are just three more races – counting Atlanta – remaining in the regular season for the Xfinity Series.  Eight drivers have locked in spots for the 12 driver playoffs.  At least one playoff driver will make it in on points.

The drivers are running with limited horsepower this week at 400 for this race but qualifying speeds are still running over 170mph and will be running even faster during the race.  They are running the same package as the Indianapolis race.

Dawson Cram was the first of the 37 car field to make a qualifying run and posted a time of 33.097 seconds.

After all of 37 drivers have made a qualifying run, the top 10 drivers will move on to a second round of qualifying to set the pole.

Kyle Weatherman was unable to complete his qualifying lap, reporting a possible tire issue.  With 37 cars for 38 starting spots, Weatherman will be in the field.  He had a flat tire as the result of the jack post broke and went through the tire.  Considered a mechanical issue, the crew will be allowed to make the proper repairs.

Jesse Love, Taylor Gray, AJ Allmendinger, Riley Herbst, Ryan Truex, Justin Allgaier, Austin Sill, Sheldon Creed, Chandler Smith, and Cole Custer will all move on to round two of qualifying.

The first driver on the track in round two of qualifying is  Chandler Smith who posted a time of 32.086 seconds.

Cole Custer broke the 32 second mark in his round two qualifying run with a time of 31.966 seconds.

With a time of 31.927 seconds, Jesse Love puts his number two car on the pole with Taylor Gray starting alongside on the front row.  Love also sat on the pole for the Atlanta race back in February.
