Summary
Denny Hamlin is on fire, snagging his sixth pole at Pocono and 51st of his career with a blistering 173.250 mph lap in his 11 Toyota — marking three straight poles including the Nashville rainout. Kyle Larson, Daniel Suárez, Ty Gibbs, and Chase Briscoe follow closely in the top five, while Carson Hocevar, Bubba Wallace, and Brad Keselowski battled incidents or mechanical woes during qualifying. Despite Larson’s fastest practice lap, Hamlin’s dominance is undeniable — but with the field stacked behind him, Sunday’s race promises fireworks.
