Since New Hampshire Motor Speedway is a mile oval, the qualifying system used is a single-car, one-lap based system. Drivers will be on track by themselves and will have one lap to post a qualifying time, and whoever sets the fastest time in that session will win the pole.
Practice and qualifying were both cancelled due to inclement weather. The starting lineup would be determined per the NASCAR rulebook. As a result, Cole Custer, driving for Stewart–Haas Racing, would start on the pole.
Jade Buford was the only driver who failed to qualify.
