North Wilkesboro TV Schedule

All-Star qualifying is a three lap process. On lap two, drivers head for the pit lane to make a four tire pit stop then return to the track for a third lap. The combination of all three laps will be the qualifying time.

10 second penalties are on deck for pit lane violations.

Open Qualifying will set the lineup for the All-Star Open. The top two cars from that race will transfer to the tail of the All-Star Race.

Qualifying will also set the lineup for the cars already locked into the All-Star Race. Those cars will be split into two heat races based on today’s results.

Shane van Gisbergen will start from the pole position in the All-Star Open. His three lap qualifying run was clocked at a time of 1:28.684.

Brad Keselowski will set the front row for the first heat races after setting a time at 1:27.362. Christopher Bell was 2nd in qualifying with a time of 1:28.252 and he’ll lead heat two to the green flag.

Michael McDowell’s crew wins the pit crew challenge for the fastest pit stop. They’ll be handed a $100,000 bonus.
