No fuel will be added (empty fuel cans will be used) — Drivers will exit their stall, maintain pit road speed and return to the track to complete the last of three laps. — Total elapsed time from green flag to checkered flag will be used as each team's qualifying time. Quickest time wins the pole for the All-Star Open. — The quickest qualifying time among the cars in the All-Star Race earns that team the No. 1 starting spot for Heat 1 and also the pole for Sunday night's All-Star Race. — The pit crew with the fastest stop (no penalties) during the qualifying attempt is the winner of the Pit Crew Challenge.

All three manufacturers (Chevrolet, Ford and Toyota) will be equally represented. The members per team will be set based on the manufacturer that has the fewest cars in the All-Star Race. Teams will be scored against each other and not by their overall All-Star finish. The lowest combined total of finishing positions will be the winning manufacturer.
