Home Cookin'--
There is something to be said for a "home game"--if there is such a thing in NASCAR Sprint Cup competition. Denny Hamlin starts the Crown Royal Presents the Dan Lowry 400 from the pole...sixth of his career. Hamlin found that the track was much cooler than when he practiced the Nationwide car...so much so that on his second lap of qualifying...Hamlin set a speed of 126.198 miles an hour. Mark Martin and Martin Truex make up the all DEI second and third places; Patrick Carpentier has a stout 4th starting position...best for the Dodges and rookies.
Hamlin hails from nearby Chesterfield, VA.
Point leader Jeff Burton starts 33rd.
We'll rejoin you tomorrow.
