NASCAR Homestead Miami Dixie Vodka 400 - Full Qualifying Results

Only three of the eight playoff drivers were able to qualify inside the top-ten today, but they swept the top three spots. William Byron earned his first pole of the season and the 8th of his career. Christopher Bell and Chase Elliott will start 2nd and 3rd in the race tomorrow.

John Hunter Nemechek had an outstanding day filling in for the suspended Bubba Wallace. Nemechek topped the morning practice session, then posted the fastest lap in the first round of qualifying. He will start 4th tomorrow in the No. 45 Toyota for 23XI Racing.

Kyle Larson, Ty Gibbs, Tyler Reddick, Chris Buescher, Brad Keselowski, and AJ Allmendinger completed the top-ten in qualifying. Chase Briscoe and Ross Chastain were two playoff drivers that failed to advance out of the first round, and will start 19th and 20th tomorrow.

Byron was the only playoff driver in the second group to advance. Both Penske playoff drivers missed the cut as Ryan Blaney qualified 13th. Joey Logano will start 17th tomorrow but the former Cup champion is already locked into the Championship Four after winning last weekend at Las Vegas.

Denny Hamlin had started on pole the last five times at Homestead, but that streak ended today as he qualified 14th. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver should still be one of the favorites tomorrow, as his three Homestead wins are the most all-time and he was strong in the test here last month.
