NASCAR Qualifying Results: Atlanta goes down to tie-break as Hamlin suffers disaster run

NASCAR qualifying at Atlanta was heavily impacted by the weather in Georgia, with some parts of the running cancelled.

The final round of Xfinity Series qualifying was cancelled on Friday afternoon due to lightning in the area, which also cut into time for Cup Series qualifying – which was limited to one single-lap run.

Joey Logano took pole with a great time of 30.979sec, but it still took a tie-break for him to place first ahead of Josh Berry, who set the same time down to a thousandth of a second but lost out on owner points.

Denny Hamlin joked on social media during the weather delay that the session should be called early for safety, with a nudge and wink to the fact that he'd start right up front if the session wasn't completed.

That would've been a much better result for the recent father, who predicted a 24th place start but who in fact qualified all the way back in 33rd in a 40-man field.

With that said, let’s take a look at Friday's qualifying results in full!
