It seems that the format is somehow changing in some way for the Nascar All-Star Race Weekend. Don’t worry, we have it all for you here at North Wilkesboro Speedway.
Here are the details for each day’s events:
Friday, May 16
- 6:05 – 18:45 – Cup Open Qualification (FS1, MRN)
- 7 – 20:00 – Cup All -Star Race Qualifying/Pit Crew Challenge (FS1, MRN)
The latest year in qualifying for the Open is that all 18 teams will have a pit stop that will do in their efforts-just as the All-Star teams will do.
Justin Allgaier will practice and qualify Kyle Larson’s car before Larson runs it in Sunday’s All-Star race.
All-Star Open and All-Star Race qualifying format (3 rounds)
– Competitors will take the green flag and run one round quickly.
– On the second round, the driver must come to Pit Road. Drivers must maintain the velocity of the Pit Road.
– Once they are in a designated pit stall, teams will change four tires. No fuel will be added (empty fuel cans will be used)
– Drivers will leave their stall, retain the velocity of the pit road and return to the track to complete the last of three rounds.
– Total expired time from green flag to checkered flag will be used as the qualifying time of each team. The fastest time wins the pole for the All-Star Open.
-The fastest qualifying time under the cars in the All-Star race earns the team the number 1 starting place for Heat 1 and also the pole for Sunday night’s All-Star race.
– The pit staff with the fastest stop (no penalties) during the qualifying attempt is the winner of the Pit Crew Challenge. The winning team receives $ 100,000 and a trophy.
– Pit Crew Challenge results stipulate that the order teams will choose their pit stalls.
Penalty drops Chris Buescher from 12th place in points up to 24th in the standings.

The members per team will be set up based on the manufacturer who has the least cars in the All-Star race. Teams are recorded against each other and not by their general all-Star finish. The winning producer is the lowest joint total of the end positions. In a draw, the best overall finishing position will determine the winner.
