Both the No. 12 Team Penske Ford workforce for driver Ryan Blaney and the No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet workforce for driver Corey LaJoie failed pre-qualifying inspection twice at the 1.5-mile monitor. No. 12 automotive chief Raymond Fox and No. 7 automotive chief Scott Brewer have been each ejected for the rest of the weekend.
Qualifying is scheduled at 7:35 p.m. ET for the All-Star Open occasion, a 50-lap race for teams not already locked into the All-Star major occasion. All-Star Race qualifying is scheduled at 7:55 p.m. ET. Both classes are to be broadcast on FS1, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
