NASCAR qualifying: Starting lineup for All-Star Heat races set at North Wilkesboro; Pit Crew Challenge results

NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. - Qualifying for the NASCAR All-Star Race was held on Friday night at North Wilkesboro Speedway and the session looked different than any other in the sport all year. 

It also gave the sport's pit crews their time to shine. 

The Pit Crew Challenge was held amidst Friday's qualifying session, with drivers logging three laps with a green-flag pit stop in the middle. The total time determined the lineup for a pair of heat races on Saturday. 

Alex Bowman and the No. 48 team led Hendrick Motorsports with a third-place qualifying run. The crew was sixth in the Pit Crew Challenge. 

William Byron was next with a fifth-place qualifying effort. Chase Elliott came home 10th and Justin Allgaier qualified the No. 5 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet in 15th. Kyle Larson, who was busy with priorities at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in pursuit of the #H1100, will start in the back in Sunday's main event. 

The first heat race start at 5:10 p.m. on Saturday and the second is tentatively scheduled for 6:15. The results of the two heats will set the field for Sunday's All-Star Race, which will start at 8 p.m. and air on FS1.
