After a pole position, Dale Earnhardt Jr. took the first location, a rather logical choice that could enable him to win seats at stops under caution. Due to his second place in qualifying, Jeff Gordon took the second choice and chose the stall No. 21, a location that will allow him to leave without being bothered by a competitor.
The winners of the Gatorade Duels chose the location # 20 Kurt Busch will not be embarrassed to rent and No. 18 for Jeff Burton, poor choice, since it will be surrounded by Andy Lally and Greg Biffle.
Regan Smith took a box where it will not be hindered by entering while Clint Bowyer will have the No. 33 slot and will not be embarrassed to go. Michael Waltrip for his part took the last slot, that is to say, the first on entering the pit lane.
