RELATED: COTA weekend schedule
COTA is the first road-course race of the year, so there will be a 60-minute practice session on Saturday (10 a.m. ET, FS1). For most races this season, teams will be split into two groups based on a formula from the week‘s previous race.
Saturday’s practice will lead directly into qualifying that is split up into two groups. The top five drivers from each group will then advance to the second round of qualifying to fight for the Busch Light Pole Award, decided in a 10-minute timed session.
