NASCAR: 2024 All-Star qualifying updates, full starting lineup

After Friday night's qualifying session was rained out, NASCAR moved heat race qualifying for the All-Star Race to Saturday at North Wilkesboro Speedway.

The qualifying session to determine the starting lineups for the heat races leading up to the NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway had been scheduled to take place on Friday night, but rain prevented that session from taking place as planned.

But instead of canceling qualifying for the event and setting the starting lineups for the 60-lap races around the four-turn, 0.625-mile (1.006-kilometer) North Wilkesboro, North Carolina oval based on the driver standings, NASCAR opted to push back the session to Saturday.

The qualifying order, which features the 17 eligible drivers, is still based on the reverse driver standings (full order here).

Despite the fact that 18 of the 20 drivers set to compete in the 100-lap All-Star Open did make qualifying attempts before the rain started, NASCAR reverted to the point standings to set the starting lineup for that race since the final two drivers did not get to do so in the same conditions.

The top two drivers in this race, plus the winner of the NASCAR Fan Vote (technically the highest vote-getter among drivers not yet locked in who still have raceable cars), lock into the 200-lap main event, creating a 20-driver field.

A full All-Star Open lineup can be found here.
