Denny Hamlin will start on the pole for the NASCAR Cup Series race at Michigan International Speedway after qualifying was cancelled due to inclement weather.
Hamlin, who finished second last weekend at Richmond Raceway, and his 23XI Racing driver Tyler Reddick will make up the front row.
Hamlin’s Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Christopher Bell begins third, while Hendrick Motorsports’ Kyle Larson starts fourth. Reddick’s 23XI cohort Bubba Wallace rounds out the top five.
Chase Elliott, Ross Chastain (who was quickest in the shortened practice), Ryan Blaney, William Byron and Austin Dillon complete the top 10 in the lineup.
The lineup was set by the rulebook.
The FireKeepers Casino 400 is scheduled to run Sunday, Aug. 18 at 2:30 p.m. ET and airs on USA Network.
