NASCAR Qualifying Results: Denny Hamlin denied pole after WRECK as Toyota dominate at Indianapolis

Joe Gibbs Racing star Chase Briscoe will start the 2025 Brickyard 400 from the pole after setting the fastest time in NASCAR Cup Series qualifying at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

However, it was very nearly his teammate Denny Hamlin who took the honor, with the No. 11 having been over two-tenths up on Briscoe's lap time (49.136secs) on the final lap of qualifying when he crashed heavily into two separate walls, causing significant damage to his car.

After such a heavy second impact, Hamlin's car ground to a halt on track, unable to set a lap time, meaning he will start Sunday's race in 39th.

With Hamlin wrecking, Briscoe's time remained the leading effort of all drivers, with the No. 19 edging Bubba Wallace in the No. 23, who will start Sunday's race second, by just 0.013 seconds.

It was a dominant session overall for Toyota, who locked out positions one through five, with Erik Jones, Tyler Reddick and Ty Gibbs third, fourth and fifth, respectively.

Further down the order, it was a very disappointing day for the likes of Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott and Ross Chastain, who all start tomorrow's race outside the top 20.

With that said, let's take a look at the full finishing order from qualifying below.
