Yeley, driver of the No. 96 DLP® HDTV Toyota Camry for Hall of Fame Racing, toured the 1-mile oval in 23.756 seconds at 151.541 mph.

Greg Biffle captured his sixth career pole, his first at Dover and his second of the season with a time of 23.193 seconds at 155.219 mph.  Kurt Busch will start alongside Biffle on the outside of row one, as he timed in at 23.381 seconds at 153.971 mph.  Kyle Busch (23.412 seconds at 153.767 mph) was third, while Jimmie Johnson (23.414 seconds at 153.754 mph) and Jamie McMurray (23.438 seconds at 153.597 mph) rounded out the top-five.

Forty-five drivers attempted to qualify for the Best Buy 400.  Those not making the cut in the 43-car field were Chad McCumbee and Jason Leffler.

As far as manufacturers went, qualifying was a model of parity, with each manufacturer represented in the top-four.  Ford took the top spot via the pole run made by Biffle.  Dodge was next best at the hands of Kurt Busch, while Toyota was third-quickest thanks to Kyle Busch.  Carrying the flag for Chevrolet was fourth-fastest Johnson.
