Practice 2 – Report
Homestead
Joey Logano leads practice two in all categories. He’s quickest in best lap and 10 lap average.
Both Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick set outside the top 20. However, each of those drivers are working on long runs.
Harvick isn’t quick in 10-lap averages either. However, after lap 15, his car becomes significantly quicker. Harvick is working on really long runs. He turned his fastest 10-lap run between laps 13-22. Everyone else in the top 10 averages set 1-10 as their quickest 10 lap run.
The most interesting part is that Harvick has been glued to the bottom. Homestead-Miami Speedway is typically a track where drivers run right against the wall for the duration of the race. Harvick is trying something totally different, he’s been down there all weekend.
