Practice and qualifying

edit
 
Ryan Newman won the pole position, his fiftieth of his career

Two practice sessions are scheduled to be held in preparation for the race.[7] The first session, held on July 26, 2013, was 85 minutes long, while second session was held on the following day and was 120 minutes long.[7]

During the first practice session, Juan Pablo Montoya, for the Earnhardt Ganassi Racing team, was quickest ahead of Kurt Busch in second and Austin Dillon in third.[8] Paul Menard was scored fourth, and Kahne managed fifth.[8] Joey Logano, Harvick, Martin Truex Jr., Kenseth, and Earnhardt Jr. rounded out the top ten quickest drivers in the session.[8] In the final practice session for the race, Kurt Busch was the quickest of the forty-five drivers who participated.[9] Kahne followed in second, ahead of Montoya and Johnson in third and fourth.[9] Marcos Ambrose, who was twenty-second quickest in second practice,[8] managed fifth.[9] Kahne had the best ten–lap consecutive average with a speed of 182.419 miles per hour (293.575 km/h).[9]

During qualifying, forty-five cars were entered, meaning two cars were bumped from the race because of NASCAR's qualifying procedure.[10] Ryan Newman clinched his fiftieth career pole position, with a record speed of 187.531 miles per hour (301.802 km/h).[11] After the qualifying session ended, Newman said, "I'll admit I was emotional, for me. Especially because it was the Brickyard and I hadn't won a pole here before, and I've won so many poles. It's been so long since I've won a pole people ask me if I've run out of fuel for the rockets."[11] He was joined on the front row of the grid by Johnson.[12] Edwards qualified third, Denny Hamlin took fourth, and Tony Stewart started fifth.[12] Kurt Busch, Kahne, Montoya, Jeff Gordon, and Ambrose completed the first ten positions on the grid.[12] The two drivers who failed to qualify for the race were Mike Bliss and Scott Speed.[12]
