Series veteran Joe Nemechek takes fourth career Talladega pole for single car Furniture Row Racing team.

The remaining non-guaranteed drivers who successfully made the cut were Jon Wood in the #21 Wood Brothers Ford in 12th position, Kyle Petty in 15th, Sterling Marlin in 16th in the #09 Phoenix Racing entry, Patrick Carpentier in 17th and Dario Franchitti who qualified 19th fastest but will start from 43rd and last as per the NASCAR rulebook.

That meant that both Dave Blaney and JJ Yeley failed to make the cut despite qualifying among the top 25 with John Andretti completing the list of non-qualifiers.

Double 2007 Talladega winner Jeff Gordon will start 20th while all three Richard Childress Racing entries including championship leader Jeff Burton and Friday morning practice pacesetter Kevin Harvick will start no higher than 38th.
