Official qualifying results

• Nate Moeller did qualify his No. 06 Wayne Peterson Racing Ford but drove his car renumbered with the No. 10 in the race since Benny Chastain crashed his No. 10 Toyota car of Fast Track Racing during qualifying but still made the race. Since Fast Track didn't have a backup car, Chastain withdrew from the race and let Moeller drive his (previously No. 06) car in the race.
