Final round qualifying results: Denny Hamlin claimed pole position with the fastest time in the second round of qualifying. Tyler Reddick will join him on the front and row and Shane van Gisbergen and Christopher Bell will follow on the second row. The full starting lineup is listed below.

NASCAR’s Cup Series will be back in action this weekend. They will run the first Grant Park 220 street race in Chicago, Illinois on July, 2. The race begins at 5:30 p.m. ET and will air on NBC. Practice and qualifying will be held on Saturday starting at 1:30 p.m. ET on USA.

This is the first iteration of the street race, but qualifying will not be drastically different than what the Cup Series has done at other tracks. The field will be split in half and each driver gets a shot at putting together the fastest lap. Each group will run for 15 minutes, which means multiple potential laps per driver. The five fastest drivers in each group will advance to the final round to compete across ten minutes for the pole position.

Chase Elliott heads into qualifying with the best odds of winning at DraftKings Sportsbook. He’s installed at +500 and is followed by Tyler Reddick (+650), Martin Truex Jr. (+750), Kyle Larson (+750) and A.J. Allmendinger (+900) to round out the top five.

Here is the full entry list for Sunday’s Grant Park 200 Cup Series race. We’ll update it with the full starting lineup as qualifying wraps.
