He was apparently on pit road as he had yet to complete a lap, and remained behind Sage Karam when he pitted his #44 Green Line Automotive Chevrolet for a flat right-front tire as the leaders came down to complete Lap 1.
Sherman’s gap was then updated to 13.655 seconds, placing him behind Jones, but Williams’ mark still showed a “0.” As the field completed the opening lap, Williams was now shown a lap down, though the reason was unclear due to radio interference from the team. When the race started, the NASCAR leaderboard showed Jones the furthest back on intervals, showing 11.396 seconds back of the lead, but Pumpelly, Williams, and Sherman had a “0” in place of their intervals. Williams would face more issues in the race itself. Instead, the last one docked was Josh Williams for issues on his #92 Alloy Employer Services Chevrolet. But Nemechek wasn’t among the penalized drivers. John Hunter Nemechek suffered similar damage after he backed into the tires in his #20 Yahoo Toyota, wrinkling the rear bumped. Spencer Pumpelly qualified 22nd after running as high as 5th on the speed charts, only for his #07 Volkswagen of Oak Lawn Chevrolet to lose control entering Turn 4 and back into the tires with the left-rear. Blaine Perkins in the #02 Gratis Chevrolet was the first to run off course in opening practice, having to turn around in the run-off lane. Brandon Jones lined up 30th in the #9 Menards / Little Hug Chevrolet, but in the first round of qualifying, glanced off the wall with the driver’s side. The other four were due to unapproved adjustments, three of them due to incidents in Turn 4. Mayer and Creed were two of the six drivers sent to the rear before the start of Saturday’s race.
