Unlike the NASCAR Showdown and how qualifying is normally handled, the NASCAR Sprint All-Star qualifying at Charlotte Motor Speedway is a team effort, as it consists of 3-laps with a 4-tire pit stop. And, with a qualifying speed of 145. 556 mph, it was Carl Edwards and the No. 99 Fastenal Ford Fusion team capturing the pole position for Saturday night's All-Star event.
Kurt Busch and the No. 78 Furniture Row Chevy team, with a qualifying speed of 144.068 mph, will start on the outside pole, and they will be followed by Greg Biffle (No. 16 Filtrete Ford - 143.737) starting third, Kyle Busch (No. 18 SNICKERS Bites Toyota - 143.676) fourth and Joey Logano (No. 22 Pennzoil Ford - 143.374) starting fifth.
