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
