NASCAR Cup Series qualifying went down a little later than it was supposed to, a full day later in fact, but while rain persisted on Saturday morning All-Star qualifying and the Pit Crew Challenge at North Wilkesboro Speedway went into the books just after noon.

Joey Logano turned in the fastest total time (1:29.75 and earned the pole. The session featured a modified format with drivers running three laps with a green-flag, four-tire pit stop on Lap 2.

Qualifying results were used to set the field for a pair of 60-lap Heat races scheduled for Saturday night. Heat 1 set the inside row for the All Star Race with Heat 2 solidifying the outside row. Logano will start first for Heat 1 and on the poll on Sunday as well via qualifying time.

With Kyle Larson attempting to qualify for the Indy 500, Kevin Harvick handled duties in the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet. Kyle Busch was penalized 10 seconds for speeding on pit road.

Also, Saturday's qualifying session included the Pit Crew Challenge with Christopher Bell's No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota team turning in the quickest, legal pit stop, winning $100,000 in the process. The final order determined pit selection for Sunday's All Star Race, scheduled for 8 p.m.

Earlier on Saturday morning, qualifying for the Craftsman Truck Series Wright Brand 250 was canceled due to rain with the race still tentatively scheduled for a 1:30 p.m. green flag on Saturday afternoon. Saturday's Heat races were scheduled for 5:20 and 6:15 p.m.

On Friday night, All Star Open qualifying was wiped after Alex Bowman and Ty Gibbs couldn't get a clean lap in. Gibbs will have the pole and Bowman will start second in the Open, a 100-lap race scheduled for 5:30 on Sunday evening with the top two finishers gaining entry into the All Star Race.

Here's a look at qualifying results and the lineups for both of Saturday night's Heat races as well as Sunday's All Star Open.
