Hamlin edges Newman for Atlanta pole

Autoracing Betting Lines

09/04/2010 - Hampton, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Denny Hamlin earned his first pole of the season by topping Ryan Newman in Saturday's qualifying for the Emory Healthcare 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Hamlin turned in a lap of 187.380 m.p.h. around the fast 1.54-mile oval for his eight career Sprint Cup Series pole, but his first since last October at Fontana, CA. He also gave Joe Gibbs Racing its 50th pole in the series.

"I was very optimistic, no matter what happened in qualifying, said Hamlin, who notched his first pole in 11 races at Atlanta. "I told myself, 'I knew I had a race-winning car come [Sunday] night.' So this is just a huge bonus for us, because I typically am very bad in qualifying. For us to be anywhere near the front is very uplifting for this team."

Hamlin, currently fifth in points, is tied with Jimmie Johnson for most victories in the series so far with five each. Johnson, the four-time defending series champion, presently sits ninth in points. Just two races remain in the regular season before the championship Chase begins later this month at New Hampshire.

Newman qualified 0.05 seconds behind Hamlin to capture the outside pole. Newman shares the record with Buddy Baker for most poles at Atlanta with seven each.

Kyle Busch captured the third spot, followed by Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart.

Martin Truex Jr., Johnson, Juan Pablo Montoya, David Ragan and Kasey Kahne completed the top-10. Kahne is the defending race winner. He also won the pole for the Nationwide race here earlier in the day.

Clint Bowyer, who currently holds the 12th and final spot for the Chase, qualified 14th. Jamie McMurray, who trails Bowyer by 100 points, will start 12th.

Points leader Kevin Harvick will roll off 29th.

Jason Leffler, Landon Cassill, Scott Riggs and Todd Bodine failed to qualify.

Sunday's 500-mile race at Atlanta is scheduled to start shortly after 7:30 p.m. (et).
