Talladega Superspeedway, formerly known as Alabama International Motor Speedway, is a motorsports complex located north ofTalladega, Alabama. It is located on the formerAnniston Air Force Base in the small city of Lincoln. A tri-oval, the track was constructed in 1969 by theInternational Speedway Corporation, a business controlled by theFrance family. Talladega is most known for its steep banking. The track currently hostsNASCAR's Cup Series,Xfinity Series andCraftsman Truck Series. Talladega is the longest NASCAR oval with a length of 2.66-mile-long (4.28 km) tri-oval like theDaytona International Speedway, which is 2.5-mile-long (4.0 km).
Qualifying was held on Friday, April 25, at 4:30 PMCST.[11] SinceTalladega Superspeedway is a superspeedway, the qualifying system used is a single-car, single-lap system with two rounds.

Whoever sets the fastest time in Round 2 will win the pole.[12]
