Failed to qualify or withdrew

  • Greg Gorden R for Truscelli Team Racing - initially named for the ride, the team decided to step him down for not having enough seat time in the car, as the new chassis came just days before an scheduled test.[4] Replaced by Brian Tyler, who was due to drive for Team Pelfrey, where he was replaced by Robby Unser.[5]
  • Team Menard entered the #2 car, which remained vacant for the event. Before qualifying, they announced an agreement to surrender the number #3 to Brant Racing, which were due to use #31, because of "Brant's long business relationship" with Richard Childress. Greg Ray switched numbers from #3 to #2.[6]
  • The #77 Chastain Motorsports entry, which was vacant on the entry list, did not arrive at the track.
