Practice groups, qualifying order for NASCAR Cup Series at Auto Club Speedway


Check out the practice groups (2 p.m. ET on FS1) and the qualifying order (2:35 p.m. ET on FS1) for Saturday’s on-track action at Auto Club Speedway ahead of Sunday’s Wise Power 400 (3:30 p.m. ET on FOX, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). To view the groups and order, click the printer icon above or click here to see the full order.

On most ovals this season, including this week at Auto Club, teams will be split into two groups based on odd/even finishing order from the week’s previous race for one 15-minute warm-up/practice session per group. That will lead directly into single-car, single-lap qualifying. The top five drivers from each group will then advance to the second round of qualifying to fight for the pole with another single-car, single-lap run.
