Episode Details

Denny Hamlin locks in his fourth straight oval pole at Chicagoland Speedway—his fourth of the season and now ninth all-time with 52 poles—thanks to a lucky sun angle that helped him outpace rivals, including Ty Gibbs, who might’ve beaten him if just one more car had been behind him. Hamlin credits his crew for overnight tuning and a solid practice run that gave him the perfect car balance. Kyle Larson edges in second, with Chris Buescher, Keselowski, and Gibbs rounding out the top five. Top contenders like Bell, Briscoe, and Wallace are also in the mix, while Tyler Reddick lurks just one point behind Hamlin in the standings. Michael McDowell starts last after inspection woes. Race kicks off at 6 PM Eastern Sunday.
