NASCAR announced that Friday’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Busch Pole Qualifying session at Richmond Raceway will see the first two rounds shortened from ten minutes to five minutes.

The first round will see all cars go out in group style for a lap or laps with the top-24 moving to Round 2. The top-12 from Round 2 move to the final round which is also five minutes in length.

This is not a permanent change to qualifying, as discussions are continuing to take place regarding the qualifying format for NASCAR’s top series. The format for NASCAR Xfinity Series qualifying at Richmond is unchanged.

The enhanced weekend schedule will see inspection take place Saturday afternoon and that will officially set the lineup for Saturday night’s Toyota Owners 400 at 7:30 pm ET on FOX, MRN, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
