The qualifying session marked the first time NASCAR grouped together all the drivers not locked into the field to make their runs at the same time of the day, and Patrick Carpentier bumped A.J. Allmendinger from the field as the last driver to make his attempt.
Carpentier, one of the six Dodge drivers who wrecked in Friday’s practice session, qualified for his first start of the season. He’ll start 12th.
Although Allmendinger missed the race for the third time this season, Toyota still placed 10 cars in the field, the most the manufacturer has qualified since entering the Cup Series.
