Denny Hamlin has Toyota's first pole of the season.
While the Joe Gibbs Racing driver has won three times this year but he has yet to take home a pole yet this year until Friday.
"I can't believe it," Hamlin told NBCSN after his run. "I'm proud of this whole FedEx team for giving me such a great car, it's just, these guys are on it right now, it's unbelievable."
Hamlin has been on fire of late having finished inside the top three in each of his last four races with a win coming at Pocono Raceway and he will once again be in great position to win this race.
Kyle Larson will start second and Martin Truex Jr. will be third.

Play-Off Points :
"In the battle for the final playoff spots, Daniel Suarez scored nine points in the first stage and moved past Stewart-Haas Racing teammate Clint Bowyer for the final playoff-eligible position. Suarez leads Bowyer by two points with two races left.
Bowyer and Suarez finished seventh and eighth, respectively, but the stage points made the difference.
Johnson’s troubles continued on Saturday night. The seven-time champion started 30th and fell two laps down after contact with Austin Dillon and Hamlin. Johnson fought hard to finish 19th, four laps down, but he fell 26 points behind Suarez for the last playoff spot."...!
