Edwards wins pole for Sprint All-Star Race #99-Edwards won the pole for the Sprint All-Star Race Sprint Cup Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway with a qualifying time of 111.297 seconds. All-Star Race qualifying is three laps with a mandatory 4-tire pit stop. #78-Busch will start on the outside pole followed by #16-Biffle, #18-Busch, #22-Logano, #15-Bowyer, #11-Hamlin, #55-Martin, #5-Kahne and #24-Gordon. #29-Harvick slid thru his pit box but didn't back up far enough and was serviced outside the pit box, so Harvick's time was disallowed and he will start last, but since Harvick lost an engine in practice, he would had started from the rear anyway. Four drivers lost 5 seconds for a loose lug nut #88-Earnhardt Jr., #20-Kenseth, #9-Ambrose and #48-Johnson.(5-17-2013)
