Taylor Gray qualified 11th for the Xfinity Series race with a lap of 76.281 seconds. However, the rookie told media members that the No. 54 Joe Gibbs Racing team will have to swap out his engine before Saturday afternoon's race. This means he will start from the rear of the field.

Riley Herbst qualified 15th with a lap of 76.439 seconds. Herbst has made two Xfinity starts this season with Joe Gibbs Racing after moving up to the Cup Series. His previous best finish was third at Texas Motor Speedway.

The last time van Gisbergen started from the pole at Sonoma Raceway, he led 32 of the 79 laps. He won the opening stage and the short-pitted in stage 2 to gain track position. He then defeated Austin Hill after a heated battle in the closing laps.
