NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. (AP) — Joey Logano has won 30 poles in his Cup Series career.
This one meant something extra to him.
Logano will start up front for the NASCAR All-Star race after turning a lap of 1:29.75 on Saturday during qualifying at North Wilkesboro Speedway.
The two 60-laps heats that were to determine the remainder of the field for Sunday night’s race were postponed Saturday after heavy rains pounded the area, leaving portions of the track under about a foot of water.
The weather was so severe that it brought down power lines on the road outside of the racetrack, cutting off power and internet access to the track and causing traffic snarls.
NASCAR said the rest of the starting lineup will be determined by qualifying, which means Brad Keselowski will start on the outside row alongside Logano. If defending champion Kyle Larson is able to make it to North Wilkesboro after qualifying at the Indianapolis 500, he will have to start at the rear of the field.
