2 years agoDenny Hamlin figured to be in the final qualifying group on Saturday for the Ambetter 301. However, that was not the case. Hamlin wound up 14th instead but did have a run just 0.223 seconds off the pole sitter, Martin Truex Jr. Again, rules are rules when it comes to qualifying. It will be interesting to see how the Toyota's perform later in the race on Sunday. Last year, they did begin to fade some. Only Christopher Bell truly contended last year as even Hamlin fell back to tenth. Hamlin finished in the top-five the two previous appearances. The final stage may see the No. 11 drop positions again. --Chris Wassel - RotoBaller
