built 290 days ago
Ryan Newman qualified on the pole for the third time in a row, at 170.062 mph, this was the 41st pole of his career. He ended Denny Hamlin’s perfect streak there, Hamlin qualified second this time, but had the pole in the previous two races at Pocono and won both of them. Newman is the only good thing to happen to Roger Penske this week, with the pit road incident and fine for Kurt Busch, this had to help a little.
