He’s not alone—five other top drivers, including Christopher Bell, Erik Jones, Austin Cindric, Josh Berry, and William Byron, also face rear-grid starts due to tire issues, mechanical failures, or spins during qualifying. Hamlin, who famously overcame a penalty to win last week at Nashville and is the defending Michigan champ, remains confident, noting his team’s focus was on securing a decent pit stall—which they got. With so many contenders starting behind the leader, Sunday’s race promises wild unpredictability as these drivers battle to claw their way forward.
