Perspective
Qualifying was originally scheduled to be held on Friday, February 14, at 1:30 PM EST.[9] The qualifying procedure used is a multi-car, multi-lap group-based system. Drivers will be split into different groups of seven to eight drivers. Each group will have four minutes to set a lap time, and the driver who sets the overall fastest lap between the groups will win the pole. The fastest 34 drivers will lock in, with the final 6 spots being reserved for provisional starters.[11]
Qualifying was cancelled due to inclement weather from the previous day, with the starting lineup based on the 2024 ARCA Menards Series owner point standings. As a result, William Sawalich, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, would start on the pole.[8]
Chase Pinsonneault, Ryan Huff, Robert Martin, Steve Lewis Jr., and Chuck Buchanan Jr. would fail to qualify.
