Background
thumb|The layout of New Hampshire International Raceway, the venue where the race was held.
New Hampshire International Speedway is a 1.058-mile (1.703 km) oval speedway located in Loudon, New Hampshire which has hosted NASCAR racing annually since the early 1990s, as well as an IndyCar weekend and the oldest motorcycle race in North America, the Loudon Classic. Nicknamed "The Magic Mile", the speedway is often converted into a 1.6-mile (2.6 km) road course, which includes much of the oval. The track was originally the site of Bryar Motorsports Park before being purchased and redeveloped by Bob Bahre. The track is currently one of eight major NASCAR tracks owned and operated by Speedway Motorsports.

The fifth is awarded to a past champion who has not otherwise qualified for the race. If no past champ needs the provisional, the next team in the owner points will be awarded a provisional.2005-02-05 Jayski's® Silly Season Site - Provisional Land Page http://www.jayski.com/stats/2004/2004prov.htm 2021-12-03 https://web.archive.org/web/20050205214731/http://www.jayski.com/stats/2004/2004prov.htm 5 February 2005 dead

Kyle Busch, driving a part-time schedule for Hendrick Motorsports, would crash in turn 4 on his warm-up lap. Since the No. 84 did not have enough owner's points for a provision, Busch would miss the race.2004 Siemens 300 Qualifying Kyle Busch Crash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSOQ1cHCRKc en 2021-12-08
