Practice and qualifying

Kyle Busch won the pole position, the eleventh of his career

Three practice sessions were held before the race. The first session, held on March 15, 2013, was 90 minutes long. The second and third were held on March 16, and were both 60 minutes long.[7] During the first practice session, Keselowski was quickest with a time of 14.869, ahead of Kenseth and Kyle Busch in second and third. Bowyer followed in the fourth position, ahead of Hamlin in fifth.[8]

In the Saturday morning session, Busch was quickest, ahead of Kenseth and Hamlin in second and third. Jeff Burton and Kahne followed in the fourth and fifth positions.[9] Kevin Harvick, Jeff Gordon, Jamie McMurray, Kurt Busch, and Johnson rounded out the first ten positions.[9] Busch and Keselowski were quickest during ten consecutive laps with an average speed of 124.874 miles per hour (200.965 km/h) and 124.702 miles per hour (200.688 km/h), respectively.[9] In the final practice session for the race, Busch remained quickest with a time of 15.372 seconds.[10] Kahne followed in second, ahead of David Gilliland and Kenseth in third and fourth.[10] Hamlin, who was third quickest in second practice,[9] only managed fifth.[10]

During qualifying, forty-four cars were entered, but only forty-three were able to start because of NASCAR's qualifying procedure.[11] Busch clinched his eleventh career pole position, with a record-setting[3] time of 14.813 seconds.[12] After his qualifying run, Busch commented, “The car felt great during that lap. We’ve never really worried too much about qualifying runs. We unloaded with a really good race car and we just kept fine-tuning to make it a little bit better – and we were able to get it where it was pretty quick in practice.”[3] He was joined on the front row of the grid by Kahne.[12] Hamlin qualified third, Brian Vickers took fourth, and Paul Menard started fifth, after being scored fifteenth in the final practice session.[12] McMurray, Keselowski, Tony Stewart, Martin Truex Jr., and Joey Logano completed the first ten positions on the grid.[12] The driver that failed to qualify was Scott Riggs.[12]
