Pocono is the last race for seeding. Entering Sunday’s race, Briscoe is seeded 12th and would go head-to-head with Tyler Reddick, who also drives a Toyota, but for 23XI Racing, which is the racing team co-owned by basketball great Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin.

Denny Hamlin won his 44th career Cup pole Saturday, while William Byron and Bubba Wallace had issues in qualifying at Pocono Raceway and will start at the rear of the field. Hamlin won the pole with a lap of 172.

After missing last week's race in Mexico City, Denny Hamlin returns to the track and wins the pole for Sunday's race at Pocono Raceway.
