Three Richmond favorites qualify poorly

Three Richmond favorites qualified outside the top 10 for the Sprint Cup race tonight.

Denny Hamlin (11th), Kyle Busch (20th), and Jimmie Johnson (30th) all had disappointing qualifying efforts. Hamlin was also terrible in Happy Hour, posting just the 40th-fastest lap, while Busch and Johnson were not much better (34th and 22nd, respectively).

Hamlin has won the last two fall Richmond races, while teammate Busch took home the checkers in the last two spring events. Johnson has three Richmond victories, all coming in 2007 and 2008, and finished 10th and 3rd at the track last season.
