NASCAR Qualifying Results: Larson suffers FAILURE as Elliott and Hamlin put on a show

NASCAR Cup Series qualifying for The Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium now in the books, with Kyle Larson failing to make it to Sunday's main event and the likes of Chase Elliott and Denny Hamlin impressing.

With 20 drivers able to qualify for Sunday's main event through four heat races, it was Elliott who came out on top in the first, closely followed by the likes of Brad Keselowski, Noah Gragson, and Kyle Busch.

Whilst heat number one had been hit with multiple cautions, heat number two was caution-free, with Chris Buescher dominating his rivals.

Denny Hamlin was the man to come out on top in heat number three, beating the likes of Joey Logano and William Byron, whilst heat number four saw Tyler Reddick finish out front.

Despite the above, however, a number of drivers will be unhappy with their failure to qualify for Sunday's race, including former Cup Series champion Larson.

The Hendrick Motorsports star could only finish a disappointing 8th place in his qualifying heat, failing to make it to Sunday's race.

With all that said, let's take a look at the qualifying results in full.
