There's just no stopping the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota of Denny Hamlin right now, who snagged pole position for this weekend's NASCAR Cup race at Pocono Raceway. He was the only driver to break into the 51-second bracket with a fast lap of 51.948s.
This is Hamlin's 51st career pole (tying Ryan Newman) and his sixth at Pocono. He will be joined on the front row by Kyle Larson in the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, who fell 0.055s short of P1.
