Kyle Busch (Toyota) conquistou a pole-position para a Coca-Cola 600, no Charlotte Motor Speedway, 13ª etapa da Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. Foi a terceira pole do piloto da Joe Gibbs Racing no ano, e 30 na categoria. Busch marcou o tempo de 28s149 (191.838 mph), e garantiu a primeira posição, para a largada da prova mais longa do calendário.
Joey Logano (Ford) completa a primeira fila. Denny Hamlin (Toyota) e Erik Jones (Toyota) formam a segunda fila.
Brad Keselowski (Ford) e Ryan Newman (Chevrolet) dividem a terceira fila. Jamie McMurray (Chevrolet) alinha em sétimo, seguido por Ryan Blaney (Ford).
Aric Almirola (Ford) e Daniel Suarez (Toyota) fecham os dez primeiros.
Vencedor das duas últimas provas válidas pelo campeonato, e também do All-Star Race, Kevin Harvick (Ford) alinha na penúltima posição. O Chevrolet #4 da Stewart-Haas Racing falhou três vezes na vistoria pré-classificação. Como consequência, Harvick não marcou tempo e o seu chefe de equipe, Robert Smith, teve que deixar o circuito.
