Daniel Suarez qualified second with a lap of 48.288 seconds. This marks his second front row start of the season. He also started second next to Hocevar at Texas Motor Speedway.
The rest of the top 10 included Tyler Reddick (48.367), Ty Gibbs (48.396), Denny Hamlin (48.430), Michael McDowell (48.449), Corey Heim (48.529), Alex Bowman (48.552), AJ Allmendinger (48.558), and Kyle Larson (48.566).
Chase Briscoe, the Indiana kid, just missed the top 10. He qualified 11th with a lap of 48.578 seconds. He will line up next to Cole Custer (48.579).
This starting position is significant for Heim, who went out third during Saturday's qualifying session. He said during his post-qualifying interview that his time would not be good enough for a top-10 starting position.
Another person who capitalized during the qualifying session is Hamlin, albeit for a different reason. Last year, he had the fastest car in the field, but he crashed during his qualifying lap. This dropped him to the rear of the field as Joe Gibbs Racing pulled out the backup car.
This year, Hamlin will be able to start inside of the top 10 as he tries to complete NASCAR's Grand Slam by winning the Brickyard 400 for the first time.
The flip side involves Bubba Wallace. The defending winner of the Brickyard 400 will have to start 29th after a bobble in qualifying.
The Cup Series race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway will take place on Sunday at 2 p.m. ET. Adam Alexander, Steve Letarte, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. will lead the booth for TNT. This marks the final race on TNT of the season and the last race before the off-week.
