# Ernie Sigley

**Ernest William Sigley** (2 September 1938 – 15 August 2021) was an Australian Gold Logie award winning television host, comedian, variety performer, radio presenter and singer. Known as a pioneer of radio and television in Australian, he was often styled as a "little Aussie battler" with a larrikin sense of humour.

Sigley started his career in radio, before becoming a presenter of TV programs and was best known for his self-titled program *The Ernie Sigley Show* and *Saturday Night Live* as well as original host of game show *Wheel of Fortune*, after presenting talk shows with his frequent co-presenter Denise Drysdale in the late 80s and early 90s, he returned to presenting radio broadcasts, until retiring in 2009.

## Biography

### Early life and career

Sigley was born in Footscray, Melbourne, one of seven children of a boilermaker. After completing his education at Williamstown High School, his career began in 1952 as a turntable operator on Danny Webb's breakfast program at radio station 3DB.

Television started in Australia in 1956 and Sigley made his TV debut in 1957 as host of *Teenage Mailbag*, later known as *The Teenage Show*, on Seven Network's HSV-7. Shortly after this, he travelled to London, gaining some work experience at the BBC. But a bigger break was to come with a three-year stint at Radio Luxembourg, where he performed under the name "Ernie Williams".

Sigley is remembered for his 1964 association with the Adelaide leg of the Beatles' tour of Australia. In one press conference, his questioning of the Beatles brought about an enthusiastic response from John Lennon, which led to one of the more notable interviews of the tour.

### Radio

In 1981, Sigley returned to 3DB to host the breakfast program. In 1982, he switched to the breakfast shift at the personality-driven News Talk 3UZ. In 1996, Sigley joined 3AW to host the afternoon program. He hosted the afternoon program for 12 years until his retirement on 7 November 2008. Denis Walter was announced as Sigley's replacement. He then took on a part-time role at the station where he partnered either Bruce Mansfield or Philip Brady to host *Nightline* on Friday nights.

### Television

Sigley was part of the original cast of variety TV program *Sunnyside Up*, In the 1960s and early 1970s, he hosted the prime time Adelaide variety show *Adelaide Tonight* on NWS-9.

Beginning in 1974, he was the host of the national Nine Network variety show *The Ernie Sigley Show*, featuring notable Australian media personalities such as Denise Drysdale, Noni Hazlehurst, Pete Smith and Joy Westmore. The program was abruptly axed after an off-air outburst by Sigley, directed at station owner Kerry Packer and producer Peter Faiman, when the network cut short his first show for 1976 to accommodate a network sports awards telecast. Packer flew to Melbourne the next day and dismissed Sigley in person, effective immediately, and replaced him with Don Lane.

After his dismissal in 1976, Sigley moved to ATV-0 and hosted the early evening variety show *Ernie* and then, in 1978, *The Penthouse* which became *Saturday Night Live* on HSV-7 co-hosting with Mary Hardy.

Sigley was the original host of the Australian version of the popular game show *Wheel of Fortune* from 1981 to 1984. In 1982, he presented the regional variety program *Six Tonight* from BTV-6 in Ballarat and the daytime talent show *Pot Luck* in 1987.

After a break from television, Sigley returned in 1989 with Denise Drysdale, hosting GTV-9's morning program *In Melbourne Today*.

Sigley was involved in an argument with fellow TV star Don Lane at a Logies after party in 1988, when Sigley allegedly made insulting remarks about Lane's partner.

### Singing

Sigley began singing as a choir boy at St Paul's Cathedral, Melbourne, and went on to be a regular on the local town hall circuit in the 1950s. In 1957, his first record, "Love Is A Golden Ring", was released.

In 1974, Sigley, with Denise Drysdale, recorded the popular duet "Hey Paula", a cover of a hit by US duo Paul & Paula released by Festival Records and produced at Armstrong Studios, Melbourne. The record was produced and arranged by Brian Rangott and engineered by Ian McKenzie and peaked at number 2 in Australia.

Sigley regularly performed around Australia on the club circuit, often with his television partner Denise Drysdale.

## Awards

Sigley won the TV Week Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television in 1975. He had previously won eleven local Logies for his work in Adelaide.

## Personal life

Three times married and twice divorced, Sigley was married to Glenys O'Brien, a former television personality, for 47 years. They lived in Atkins Ave, Glen Iris in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne and had four children. His son Matthew was a keyboardist for the Australian bands the Earthmen, the Fauves and Drop City.

Sigley was a supporter of the Western Bulldogs (formerly known as the Footscray Football Club) in the Australian Football League. He was also a supporter of the South Adelaide Football Club in the South Australian National Football League.

Sigley once owned the Radio Springs Hotel at Lyonville in country Victoria.

Sigley's family announced in October 2016 that he had Alzheimer's disease. He died on 15 August 2021, aged 82.

# Athletics at the 1956 Summer Olympics – Men's pole vault

The men's pole vault was an event at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia. Nineteen athletes from 12 nations competed. The maximum number of athletes per nation had been set at 3 since the 1930 Olympic Congress. The final was held on the third day of the track and field competition, on Monday November 26, 1956. The event was won by Bob Richards of the United States, the nation's 13th consecutive victory in the event. Richards was the first (and, through 2016, only) man to successfully defend Olympic gold in the pole vault; he was also the first (and, through 2016, only) man to win three total medals in the event. For the second straight Games, the American team went 1–2, this time with Bob Gutowski taking silver. Georgios Roubanis's bronze was Greece's first pole vault medal since 1896, and Greece's first Olympic medal overall since 1920.

## Summary

Bob Richards entered the competition as the defending champion and the best in the world, though he never managed to beat Dutch Warmerdam's world record of 4.77 m (15 ft 7+34 in) set back in 1942 throughout his career. Richards stayed in first place throughout the competition, with a first attempt clearance at every height up to 4.53m. It was not as easy for him in the qualifying round when Richards struggled at 4.00, well below his normal opening height, missing his first two attempts before clearing it on his last. By 4.35, there were only four athletes left; the three Americans George Mattos, Bob Gutowski and Richards, and UCLA trained Greek athlete Georgios Roubanis using a fiberglass pole in major international competition for the first time. Mattos was unable to get over 4.40m and the medalists were settled. All three cleared 4.50m on their first attempt, though by that point, Roubanis had two misses a lower heights and Gutowski had four. At 4.53m, again Gutowski and Richards cleared on their first attempt, but Roubanis couldn't get over the bar and had to settle for bronze. At 4.56 m (14 ft 11+12 in), Richards cleared it on his second attempt after his first miss of the competition. When Gutowski was unable to get over the height, Richards confirmed his title defense. No other man has ever defended the Olympic pole vault title, though Yelena Isinbayeva did defend the women's title in 2008 and several men returned to the Olympics to achieve silver after their gold. Richards was rewarded by being the face of Wheaties on their cereal box and was their spokesman until 1976 when Bruce Jenner became the next Olympic hero on the box. The following year, it was Gutowski who finally broke Warmerdam's record using a steel pole. Gutowski finished fourth at the 1956 Olympic Trials and only received his spot in Melbourne after Jim Graham was forced to withdraw with an injury.

## Background

This was the 13th appearance of the event, which is one of 12 athletics events to have been held at every Summer Olympics. The returning finalists from the 1952 Games were gold medalist Bob Richards of the United States, bronze medalist Ragnar Lundberg of Sweden, and ninth-place finisher George Mattos of the United States. Richards was the favorite to repeat; he had won the AAU championships in 1948, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1954, 1955, and 1956, and the Pan-American championship in 1951 and 1955. Others expecting to content were Richard's teammates (Bob Gutowski and Mattos), as well as the 1950 and 1954 European champions, Lundberg and Eeles Landström respectively.

Australia and Pakistan each made their first appearance in the event; Germany competed as the "United Team of Germany" for the first time. The United States made its 13th appearance, the only nation to have competed at every Olympic men's pole vault to that point.

## Competition format

The competition used the two-round format introduced in 1912, with results cleared between rounds. Vaulters received three attempts at each height. Ties were broken by the countback rule; at the time, total attempts was used after total misses.

In the qualifying round, the bar was set at 3.70 metres, 3.85 metres, 4.00 metres, 4.10 metres, and 4.15 metres. All vaulters clearing 4.15 metres advanced to the final.

In the final, the bar was set at 3.70 metres, increased by 5 centimetres at a time until 4.50 metres, then by 3 centimetres at a time.

## Records

Prior to this competition, the existing world and Olympic records were as follows.

| **World record** | Cornelius Warmerdam (USA) | **4.77** | Modesto, United States | 23 May 1942 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Olympic record** | Bob Richards (USA) | **4.55** | Helsinki, Finland | 22 July 1952 |

# Francis Leo Lawrence

**Francis Leo Lawrence** (August 25, 1937  April 16, 2013) was an American educator and scholar specializing in French literature and university administrator. A graduate of Saint Louis University and Tulane University, Lawrence taught at Tulane for over 30 years and held posts as academic vice president, provost, and dean of the graduate school before being appointed as the 18th president of Rutgers University (1990–2002).

During his career, Lawrence authored several books and articles on French classical drama and baroque poetry with a focus on the works of Molière. For his contributions to this field, Lawrence was awarded the honor of Chevalier dans L'Ordre des Palmes Académiques by the French government.

## Early years

Francis Leo Lawrence, “Fran”, as he was known by all, was born in 1937 in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, the fifth child and only son of Anthony and Eldora Lawrence. He attended Mount Saint Charles High School (now Mount Saint Charles Academy) where he played hockey and was a star pitcher on the baseball team. He was inducted into the Mount Saint Charles Hall of Fame in 2005. Lawrence earned his bachelor's degree from St. Louis University in French and Italian in 1959, where he met his future wife Mary Kay at the beginning of his freshman year. He was awarded an NDEA fellowship for graduate study and earned a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in French classical literature from Tulane University in 1962.

He rose through Tulane University's academic and administrative ranks to full professor, chairman of the French and Italian department, Dean of Newcomb College, Dean of the Graduate School and chief academic officer/Provost. In 1990, he was appointed president of Rutgers, the state university of New Jersey. He was married to Mary Kathryn Long Lawrence. They have four children and thirteen grandchildren. Lawrence died peacefully following an illness on April 16, 2013, at his home in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, with his wife of 54 years, Mary Kay, by his side as well as his daughter, Naomi; he was 75 years old.

## Presidency of Rutgers

Among his many accomplishments as president of Rutgers included: a strategic plan to further excellence in learning, research, and service that built upon Rutgers' strengths and offered a new vision of the university; the first university-wide curriculum committee assembled in over two decades to evaluate Rutgers' general education curriculum and to make recommendations that would focus the curriculum on the beginning of the 21st Century; Learning Resource Centers on each campus to help students achieve their greatest potential, and Teaching Excellence Centers on each campus to assist faculty in their classroom work; the RUNet 2000 project, which realized the goal of a fully wired campus and transformed teaching, research, and outreach at Rutgers; Community service initiatives, including the Adult Lifelong Learning program, now known as the Osher Institute; programs in the arts, music, and theater such as the Mason Gross School of the Arts' Rutgers in New York series, which exposed Rutgers artists to one of the world's most important cultural environments; the hugely successful Rutgers Campaign: Creating the Future Today, which raised 75 percent of its goal within the first 42 months and would far surpass its goal, raising more than $600 million; Rutgers' evolution as a global force in education, with new connections in Namibia, South Africa, Hungary, Ireland, Poland, France, Italy, and the Netherlands.

In 2002, he announced his plan to return to academia, and became a Rutgers University Professor. While on the Rutgers faculty, he authored Leadership in Higher Education: Views from the Presidency, a collection of interviews with presidents and chancellors of leading universities. He was praised for energetic fundraising attempts, the appointment of several committees to address the decline of undergraduate education and the academic quality of incoming students, as well as the construction of new academic facilities for the Mason Gross School of the Arts, the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, and the Rutgers-Newark Center for Law and Justice. Dr. Lawrence was also credited with retaining some members of the distinguished faculty recruited by his predecessor Edward Bloustein, some of whom earned several prestigious awards (including the Pulitzer Prize, the National Medal of Science, the MacArthur Foundation "genius" prize, Guggenheim Fellowships, and Sloan Fellowships). Lawrence has served as President of the North American Society for French Seventeenth Century Literature, on editorial boards for several scholarly journals, as the board chair of a monograph series, on the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education, and on the boards of several national higher education organizations.

He retired from the office of president in 2002. As President Emeritus, he returned to teaching, with an appointment as University Professor at Rutgers.

## Controversy

Comments made in 1994, in which Lawrence urged that higher education should not be denied to disadvantaged students who might lack the "genetic, hereditary background" to perform well on standardized tests, were publicized in 1995. The comments led to calls demanding for his resignation, and student protests, including one that brought a televised basketball game to a halt as protesters staged a sit-in on the court. Lawrence repeatedly apologized for the comments which he said were a verbal slip that did not represent his views.

title: Fahai (character)

abstract: Fahai is a fictional Buddhist monk and a major character of the Legend of the White Snake, one of China's "four great folktales". Serving as the abbot of Zhenjiang's Jinshan Temple, Fahai possesses magic powers and he is determined to destroy the marriage between the snake Bai Suzhen and her mortal husband Xu Xian. Following a fierce battle against Bai Suzhen and her companion Xiaoqing which resulted in the flooding of Jinshan Temple, Fahai successfully entraps Bai Suzhen under the Leifeng Pagoda in Hangzhou. In the Ming-dynasty version of the legend, contained in Stories to Caution the World (1624) compiled by Feng Menglong, Fahai is depicted positively as a righteous and heroic demon-slayer, and Xu Xuan even becomes his disciple. However, as audiences increasingly empathized with the devoted wife Bai Suzhen, Fahai's characterization turned more and more negative especially in the 20th century with the movements of free love, environmentalism, feminism, and secularism. Today, Fahai is commonly perceived as a religious zealot and a heartless, narrow-minded hypocrite who wrecks families under the guise of compassion and righteousness, and casting Buddhist monks in bad lights.

# Fahai (character)

**Fahai** (Chinese: 法海) is a fictional Buddhist monk and a major character of the Legend of the White Snake, one of China's "four great folktales". Serving as the abbot of Zhenjiang's Jinshan Temple, Fahai possesses magic powers (such as the ability to call on protective deities of Buddhism) and he is determined to destroy the marriage between the snake Bai Suzhen and her mortal husband Xu Xian. Following a fierce battle against Bai Suzhen and her companion Xiaoqing which resulted in the flooding of Jinshan Temple, Fahai successfully entraps Bai Suzhen under the Leifeng Pagoda in Hangzhou.

In the Ming-dynasty version of the legend, contained in *Stories to Caution the World* (1624) compiled by Feng Menglong, Fahai is depicted positively as a righteous and heroic demon-slayer, and Xu Xuan (Xu Xian's earlier version) even becomes his disciple. However, as audiences increasingly empathized with the devoted wife Bai Suzhen, Fahai's characterization turned more and more negative especially in the 20th century with the movements of free love, environmentalism, feminism, and secularism. Today, Fahai is commonly perceived as a religious zealot and a heartless, narrow-minded hypocrite who wrecks families under the guise of compassion and righteousness, and casting Buddhist monks in bad lights.

# Athletics at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Women's triple jump

The **Women's triple jump** competition at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The event was held at the Olympic Stadium on 13–14 August.

## Summary

Before the competition, 2015 World Champion Caterine Ibargüen of Colombia had the longest jump of the season with 15.04 m. Kazakhstan's Olga Rypakova entered as the defending Olympic champion from 2012 and had been the first athlete to beat Ibargüen that year, ending her rival's 34-meet-long winning streak. Twenty-year-old Venezuelan Yulimar Rojas was the only other athlete over fifteen metres that season and had won the 2016 World Indoor Championships. The remaining top challengers formed the 2016 European Championships podium – Patrícia Mamona of Portugal, Greek jumper Paraskeví Papahrístou (third on the world rankings), and 2015 world medallist Hanna Knyazyeva-Minenko of Israel.

Ibargüen topped qualifying with her sole jump of 14.52 m. Papahrístou and Rypakova were the only other automatic qualifiers, both requiring two attempts. It took 14.08 m to make the final. All the main contenders progressed with Germany's Kristin Gierisch and Finn Kristiina Mäkelä posting the next best marks. A 2012 Olympic medallist and former world champion, Olha Saladuha of Ukraine, failed to progress.

In the final, on the third jump of the competition, Keturah Orji took the lead with an American record 14.71 m (48 ft 3 in). Four jumps later, defending champion Olga Rypakova edged ahead with 14.73 m. The final jumper in every round of the competition, Caterine Ibargüen moved into bronze medal position with 14.65 m. In the second round, Ibargüen took the lead she would never relinquish, with a 15.03 m. In the third round Yulimar Rojas jumped 14.87 m to take over the silver medal position she would not relinquish. Rojas jumped her best in the fourth round, 14.98 m (49 ft 1+34 in) and Ibargüen followed that with her best of 15.17 m (49 ft 9 in). In the fifth round, Rypakova jumped her best of 14.74 m but the tiny improvement was not enough to improve the color of her medal.

## Competition format

The competition consisted of two rounds, qualification and final. In qualification, each athlete jumped three times (stopping early if they made the qualifying distance). At least the top twelve athletes moved on to the final; if more than twelve reached the qualifying distance, all who did so advanced. Distances were reset for the final round. Finalists jumped three times, after which the eight best jumped three more times (with the best distance of the six jumps counted).

## Schedule

All times are Brasília Time (UTC−3)

In the final, Betty Cuthbert clearly beat her teammate Marlene Mathews-Willard out of the blocks, with Heather Armitage and Isabelle Daniels out quickly in close contention. Christa Stubnick had a burst of acceleration to quickly draw even with Daniels as Armitage was unable to hold her speed. Cuthbert expanded upon her slight advantage to pull away to a clear win. Stubnick was able to separate slightly from Daniels with Mathews-Willard steadily gaining from the back. Mathews-Willard caught Daniels and almost nipped Stubnick, clearly the fastest moving athlete at the finish.

# Eugene Gordon (writer)

**Eugene Gordon** (November 23, 1891 – March 18, 1974) was a journalist, editor, fiction writer, World War I officer, and social activist. He cofounded and edited the Harlem Renaissance literary magazine *Saturday Evening Quill* and edited a magazine put out by the Boston John Reed Club. He wrote primarily on subjects related to racial discrimination and social justice. He published some fiction under pseudonyms, using **Egor Don** (which combines his first initial and last name) and (more rarely) **Clark Hall** and **Frank Lynn**.

He was married to prominent Harlem Renaissance writer Edythe Mae Gordon and mentored writers Dorothy West and Helene Johnson.

## Education and personal life

Eugene Gordon was born on November 23, 1891 in Oviedo, Florida. He grew up in Hawkinsville, Georgia and was raised in New Orleans, where he later recalled living through the Robert Charles riots. Gordon writes about the challenges of growing up in the South in the short story "Southern Boyhood Nightmares".

He attended Howard University and Boston University where he studied English and journalism. At Howard, he met his first wife Edythe Mae Chapman, a prominent writer and poet during the Harlem Renaissance. The two married on January 10, 1916.

They separated in 1932 and divorced in 1942. His second wife, June Croll, was a noted labor organizer; they had a son together.

After graduating Howard in 1917, Gordon served as a U.S. Army second lieutenant in France during World War I. He was awarded a World War I Victory Medal and returned to the U.S. in 1919. He moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts.

When he returned to the U.S., Gordon was frustrated by the poor treatment of Black veterans. A few years later, he moved to New York and joined the Communist Party.

## Writing career

Gordon became a staff writer for the *Boston Daily Post*, rising to assistant feature writer in 1919. During the 1920s, he began publishing both fiction and nonfiction in periodicals like American Mercury, *Scribner's Magazine*, *The Nation*, and *Plain Talk*, as well as in the *Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science*. His fiction ranged from stories about African-American life to a war story set in France. His short story “Game” won first prize in *Opportunity* magazine's 1927 literary contest.

Gordon was passionate about raising journalistic standards for the Black press. In 1924, he published a series of articles in *Opportunity,* about the mediocrity of many Black publications. And during the mid-1920s, he began publishing an annual series, "Survey of the Negro Press," in which he offered his selection for the best newspaper of the year, and also listed his choices for such categories as excellence in reporting, and best feature writing.

In 1925, Gordon organized an African-American literary group, the Saturday Evening Quill Club. Its founding members included fellow writers Helene Johnson and Dorothy West, and Gordon served as its president. Out of this grew an annual literary magazine, *Saturday Evening Quill*, which Gordon edited during its brief existence from 1928 to 1930. It published two issues. In the second issue, Gordon published "Negro Fictionists in America" about the differences between the white and Black portrayal of Black characters in media.

Gordon joined the American Communist Party in 1931 and co-founded the Boston John Reed Club, becoming the first editor of the club magazine, *Leftward*. He moved to the Soviet Union for a year (1937–38) and became a reporter for the *Moscow Daily News*. On his return to the United States, he became a contributing editor, writer, and reporter for the leftist *Daily Worker* (1938–1946).

Gordon's nonfiction writing about social issues increased after he became a communist. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, he wrote about such topics as black labor, the rape of black women, the limits faced by black writers in an oppressive culture, and African Americans' relationship to political radicalism; this last essay appeared in Nancy Cunard's 1933 book *Negro: An Anthology*.

By the 1950s, Gordon had joined the staff of the radical leftist weekly *National Guardian*, for which he reported on the 1955 Bandung Conference in Indonesia, which was an important step in the development of the Non-Aligned Movement. In the late 1950s, he wrote a column for the black press that lasted for about two years, "Another Side of the Story."

Gordon effectively retired from public life in the 1960s and turned his energies to watercolor painting.

When Gordon died in 1974, Henry Winston—then the chairman of the American Communist Party—praised him as "a dedicated partisan in the fight on many fronts for Democracy and Socialism." A more recent commentator assesses Gordon as a "hard-working, if uninspired" journalist of admirable dedication. His papers, including correspondence and various unpublished writings, are held by the New York Public Library.

## "The Negro Press"

"The Negro Press" was first published in the *American Mercury* in June 1926. Gordon explained Black journalism was divided into three distinct phases: pre-Civil War, post-Civil War, and post-World War. The pre-Civil War era was marked by abolition journals. After the war, writing shifted to focus on gaining citizenship for the formerly enslaved. Finally, after World War I, Black publications wrote about democracy as it pertained to Black citizens.

Freedom's Journal, established in 1827, was the first Black newspaper. It published the writings of formerly enslaved people and supported abolition. Gordon notes that early Black newspapers would not meet the journalistic standards of the 1920s. The content was well-written but opinionated. Publications at the time shared mostly essays, editorials, and biographies. Anti-slavery publications were influential but not profitable.

After the Emancipation Proclamation, abolition was accomplished and Black publications struggled to find new purpose. Pamphlets became a popular way to share information because they were inexpensive and effective. Gordon observes that churches sponsored the Black press at this time. Churches were "the units of Negro life" and used the press to "establish contact with their congregations." Controlling the press allowed churches to disseminate news and opinions and "propagandize" its followers. Some popular publications include *The Christian Recorder* and *Star of Zion*.

The arrival of World War I birthed new ideas in Black communities. Some men saw the war as an opportunity to improve race relations by fighting for America, while Black veterans, like Gordon, were not granted the respect they hoped for. The lack of change created a "so-called new Negro", who publicly desired complete equality and supported the Bolshevik Revolution (which abolished monarchy in Russia and created a communist government). *The Messenger* was a popular Black magazine that openly supported economic and social equality.

Gordon notes that at this time, journalism was beginning to be considered a profession by Black publications. Prior, it was seen as a part-time job at most. With comparisons to metropolitan daily newspapers mounting, Black editors held their publication to higher journalistic standards and began to visually resemble white newspapers. Gordon cites *The Chicago Defender* as the blueprint for this homogenized style of newspaper and compares its publisher, Robert S. Abbott, to William Randolph Hearst.

He goes on to rank publications such as *The Chicago Defender, Philadelphia Tribune, and the Pittsburgh Courier* according to news, editorials, features, and appearance.

## Qualifying

Qualifying was held on Saturday, February 17, at 1:30 PM EST. It was originally scheduled to be held at 11:30 AM, but was delayed due to consistent rain showers in the area. Since Daytona International Speedway is a superspeedway, the qualifying system used is a single-car, single-lap system with two rounds. In the first round, drivers have one lap to set a time. The fastest ten drivers from the first round move on to the second round. Whoever sets the fastest time in Round 2 will win the pole.

Because of the delayed start and the threat of more incoming rain, only one round of qualifying was contested. Jesse Love, driving for Richard Childress Racing, would score the pole for the race, with a lap of 49.702, and a speed of 181.079 mph (291.418 km/h).

Six drivers would fail to qualify: Joey Gase, Caesar Bacarella, C. J. McLaughlin, Kyle Sieg, Stanton Barrett, and David Starr. Starr had originally qualified for the race, but his lap time was later disallowed after failing post-qualifying inspection. Dawson Cram, who originally failed to qualify, took over Starr's place in the field.
