Hamlin on Pole Amid Rainout Drama

Denny Hamlin locks in pole position at Nashville Superspeedway after qualifying was rained out — a second straight week — with NASCAR’s performance metric placing him ahead. Tyler Reddick, championship leader, starts beside him, while Daniel Suarez (Coca-Cola 600 winner) takes third. Christopher Bell and Kyle Larson round out the top five. With defending winner Ryan Blaney and Team Penske’s recent dominance, familiar faces are poised to battle. Drivers get just 45 minutes of practice before Sunday’s race — a tight window for tuning cars with 38 teams entered. Rainouts and metric-based grids are reshaping race strategy, turning every opportunity into a high-stakes gamble. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
