DOMINANCE

Joe Gibbs said he can’t explain his team’s dominant start to the season, but he’s going to enjoy it while it lasts.

“Sometimes in pro sports, you know, you get on a roll, things go well,” Gibbs said. “I think that’s the reason why you need to enjoy it in pro sports because you

know, odds are, this ain’t going to keep happening.”

BUSTED

Eight cars failed prerace inspection, including three that failed twice. They include local favorite Denny Hamlin, a three- time winner on the 0.75- mile oval, Chase Elliott and Matt Tifft.

As a result, NASCAR disqualifi­ed their qualifying speeds, sending them to the rear of the field, disallowed their pit stall selections and ejected one engineer from each team for the race.
