Hamlin claims Pocono pole as spins rearrange Cup lineup
Denny Hamlin captured pole for the NASCAR Cup race at Pocono with a 51.948-second lap—the only sub-52-second time—smoking the field by a tenth to earn front-row start alongside Kyle Larson; Daniel Suárez, Ty Gibbs and Chase Briscoe fill the rest of the top five. Bubba Wallace and Carson Hocevar spun in Q2 and will start at the rear, with championship leader Tyler Reddick 16th and Christopher Bell 22nd as the start time was moved up two hours due to rain.
