Cup drivers in the field: Kyle Larson, Kyle Busch, Joey Logano, Chase Elliott

The trackbite has been installed at Bristol. It’s a bit narrower and lighter applied than it was on the last trip to Bristol.

Kyle Larson was quickest in the opening round of NASCAR Xfinity Series practice. Joey Logano was quickest in the 10 consecutive lap average.

This is Larson’s favorite track. In the media center he stated that he never missed a race at Bristol, even before he was a contracted NASCAR driver.

In final practice, Larson was on the high side trying to work in the groove all on his own. That’s where he wants to race and it’s not going to rubber itself. The outside lane is significantly slower but Larson is working on it as they drive by on the inside lane.

Tyler Reddick was all over the track in the final round of practice. The car would over rotate on corner entry. The backend would step out, it helps the car turn. But, it wouldn’t stop rotating until Reddick chased it up the hill, which isn’t good.

Reddick had several close moments throughout the session, at least five close calls. However, he also had 87 laps in final practice alone to try and work it out, second only to Larson who ran 101 laps.

Christopher Bell was quickest overall in final practice. Two tenths slower than the opening round of practice. Kyle Larson was quickest in 10-lap averages.

Tomorrow afternoon, the NASCAR Xfinity Series will return to the track for qualifying. On Friday night, the green flag will drop on Food City 300 a300 lap event over 159.9 miles.
