NOTES
- A new Knock-out Qualifying Format is being used for the first time this weekend
- KQF sees the top seeded drivers run first, setting the standard for the subsequent drivers. Drivers run once to set their qualifying position
- The bottom eight drivers have a chance to run a second time to improve their position within the bottom 8, or perhaps recover from an incomplete run, which would otherwise see them disqualified
- Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta hosted the very first FD competition event in 2004 and has remained on the calendar ever since (2020 excluded)
- Tires from all five of the 2021 FD PRO Championship partner brands – Falken, Federal, GT Radial, Nexen and Nitto – are represented in the top half of the qualification table
Because FD ATL is an evening event, all PRO competitors are using LED undercar lighting supplied by Official Lighting Partner, TYPE S
