- Even though this is Hornaday's first pole this season, it is his second at the 1.54-mile track.
- Joining Hornaday on the front row is Chad McCumbee, who portrayed a young Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the ESPN movie “3”. McCumbee posted a 31.727-second, 174.741-mph lap in his Chevrolet, which was just 0.150-second off of Hornaday's pole-winning speed.
- Kyle Busch was the top qualifying Toyota, claiming the third starting position with a 174.735-mph, 31.728-second lap. It was his first top-10 start this season, but his third at Atlanta.
