– Starting lineup: Hamlin on pole at Richmond. Denny Hamlin was the slowest of the 10 drivers to advance to the pole round Saturday evening, but it was the pole-round hot lap that mattered for the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota as a 118.162 mph circuit around the Virginia short track earned Hamlin his 43rd career Cup Series pole. Hamlin’s teammate Martin Truex Jr. will join him on the front row, with Josh Berry, Chase Elliott and Christopher Bell rounding out the top five for Sunday’s starting lineup.
