Hamlin Edges Larson by 0.001 at Chicagoland | Nascar News

Denny Hamlin stole the pole for the eero 400 at Chicagoland by a hair—0.001 seconds over Kyle Larson—securing his fourth pole of the season and 52nd career. It’s his first at this track, where he’s also won, and he’s the only driver to claim poles at both the oval and street course here. Joking about being the “Chicago master,” Hamlin credited luck with the weather, running before the sun scorched the track, and warned that a few more cars might’ve beaten him. Behind him, Chris Buescher and Brad Keselowski start third and fourth, with Keselowski the only driver with multiple wins at Chicagoland. Hamlin’s JGR teammates—Bubba Wallace, Chase Elliott, and William Byron—fill the next spots. Leading the series, Hamlin eyes a strong Sunday finish, knowing Larson is his biggest threat at this track.
