Qualifying Thriller at Dover
Denny Hamlin secured the pole position for the upcoming NASCAR All‑Star Race at Dover Motor Speedway, posting a blistering three‑lap time that was 0.144 seconds quicker than Brad Keselowski’s effort.
The qualifying session featured a tight battle among the sport’s elite, with Erik Jones and Ross Chastain joining the front rows, while William Byron, Christopher Bell and Bubba Wallace rounded out the top ten.
Pit‑Crew Drama and Penalties
Zane Smith’s No. 38 Front Row Motorsports pit crew captured the $100,000 fastest‑stop challenge, but Smith’s own starting spot was compromised by a pit‑road speeding penalty that dropped him several positions.
Only 24 of the 36 teams managed error‑free runs, underscoring the volatility of the format and leaving several contenders scrambling to recover in the race.
