Denny Hamlin Secures NASCAR Cup Pole at Pocono Raceway

Denny Hamlin is dominating the NASCAR Cup Series lately, and he proved it again by snagging the pole position at Pocono Raceway. This marks his fourth pole position of the season, and he’ll lead the pack in Sunday’s Great American Getaway 400. The race will kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Prime Video, MRN, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, so make sure to tune in earlier than originally planned due to expected weather changes.

Hamlin’s lap around the Pocono track was just a fraction faster than Kyle Larson’s best time, securing him the top spot. This achievement adds to his impressive career stats, now boasting a total of 64 pole positions. With recent wins in Nashville and Michigan, Hamlin is on a hot streak, vying for a third consecutive victory for the first time in his career.

The seasoned driver credits his team for their work on the car to make it shine on the track. Hamlin is feeling confident with the momentum he has built over the past weeks, trimming the points gap between him and Tyler Reddick to just 51 points heading into Pocono. Hamlin has proven his prowess at the track with a record seven wins at this venue, setting the stage for an exciting race day.

Starting behind Hamlin and Larson are Daniel Suarez, Ty Gibbs, and defending race winner Chase Briscoe. Chris Buescher, Erik Jones, John Hunter Nemechek, William Byron, and Ryan Blaney round out the top-10 on the grid. Keep an eye on Reddick, who starts 15th, and Bubba Wallace, who will start from the rear due to a qualifying session incident. It’s sure to be an action-packed race day at Pocono, so don’t miss the excitement on the track!
