NSCS: Denny Hamlin Scores Pole for FedEx 400 Benefiting Autism Speaks

At the end of qualifying for the FedEx 400 Benefiting Autism Speaks at Dover International Speedway, it’d be Denny Hamlin topping the charts with a lap of 22.483 seconds.

The lap for Hamlin marks his 21st pole and first of the season. He is looking for a strong run after just finishing inside the top 10 at Charlotte while fighting illness due to dehydration and an exhaust leak.

Martin Truex Jr. was second quickest after dominating last weekend at Charlotte and coming up short due to fuel milage winning out in the end. Kyle Larson was third quickest, followed by Matt Kenseth and Joey Logano.

Kevin Harvick continued his trend of being freaky fast, timing in sixth quickest, ahead of Greg Biffle, Carl Edwards, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Kyle Busch.
