Joe Gibbs Racing dominated qualifying for the Round of 8 playoff opener at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Denny Hamlin secured pole position with a fast lap of 29.213s, besting teammate Chase Briscoe by 0.036s and teammate Christopher Bell by 0.042s.
"I felt good about it," Hamlin told TruTV. "There wasn't a whole lot left out there for it, but great job to get my car good. It was good in the short run practice as well, but we gotta work on it in the long run for tomorrow. Saturday has really been our Achilles heel at this race track, and that's a great way to turn that around."
