The Toyota dominance continues in 2026, as Denny Hamlin put his No. 11 on pole position for Sunday’s highly anticipated NASCAR Cup Series return to Chicagoland Speedway.

Hamlin sits as the current betting odds favorite for the event, and right behind him is the man starting second, Kyle Larson. RFK Racing teammates Chris Buescher and Brad Keselowski share the second row, with Ty Gibbs rounding out the top five.

Sunday’s green flag is set to wave just after 6:00PM ET, with a race that will more than likely run into the nighttime. Drivers have been skeptical of how wide the racing grove will spread out, but some are optimistic the top may open up as rubber spreads out and more cars are on the track.
