As with the first round, each driver would have one lap to set a time. For this specific race, positions 11-30 would be decided on time,[5] and depending on who needed it, a select amount of positions were given to cars who had not otherwise qualified but were high enough in owner's points; up to two were given.

Rusty Wallace, driving for Blue Max Racing, would win the pole, setting a time of 19.357 and an average speed of Шаблон:Convert in the first round.[6][7]
