Qualifying would take place on Saturday, June 23, at 4:45 PM CST. Since Gateway Motorsports Park is under 1.5 miles (2.4 km), the qualifying system was a multi-car system that included three rounds. The first round was 15 minutes, where every driver would be able to set a lap within the 15 minutes. Then, the second round would consist of the fastest 24 cars in Round 1, and drivers would have 10 minutes to set a lap. Round 3 consisted of the fastest 12 drivers from Round 2, and the drivers would have 5 minutes to set a time. Whoever was fastest in Round 3 would win the pole.[9]
Grant Enfinger would make it through the preliminary two rounds and set the fastest time in Round 3 with a 32.405 and an average speed of 138.867 miles per hour (223.485 km/h), making Enfinger win the pole. Meanwhile, the #74 of B. J. McLeod and the #0 of Camden Murphy would fail to qualify.[10]
