After an adventurous qualifying, Elliott Sadler grabbed his first NCWTS pole of 2011 after a lap of 15.650 seconds which was 122.607 mph. Sadler has 2 previous career wins at Bristol and will be looking for his third when the green flag falls tonight.

Sadler is joined upfront by the KHI teammates of Ron Hornaday Jr. and Nelson Piquet Jr.

Of note: Timothy Peters qualified in 8th but will have to drop to the back after a crash in practice, his team pulled out the back up truck but he was unable to get any laps on track, resulting in the rule placing him in the rear of the field.
