Kyle Busch will start the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race XXIV from the pole, leading a 24-car field to the green flag Saturday night in search of a winner’s purse of more than $1 million.

Greg Biffle was fifth in a Roush Fenway Ford.

Also suffering calamity on pit road was Denny Hamlin, who spun his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota entering pit road, doing a full 360-degree rotation. His teammate, Tony Stewart, had to replace a motor after practice and he, too, will start at the
A total of 21 drivers are already locked into tomorrow night’s NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race XXIV, which will be televised live on SPEED, starting at 7 p.m. Three other drivers will make into the big show: the top-two finishers in the preliminary Sprint Showdown race and a driver who will be voted in by fans.
