Atlanta Final Practice – Report

Duration: 90 minutes

20 minutes in, Kyle Busch is in the wall off turn two. The back end stepped out and he tagged the wall. NASCAR was just about to throw the yellow for rain.

Joe Gibbs Racing is unloading the backup car. Busch was scheduled to start the race in 6th. He’ll be going to the tail of the field for Sunday’s race.

30 minutes in, Clint Bowyer sits at the top of the board. He’s been there all weekend.

42 minutes remain, Erik Jones is up in smoke. The caution is out. He thinks he lost power steering.

10 minutes remain, a bulk of the Ford drivers have hit the track in a group. They’re looking to get a feel for handling in the race tomorrow.

5 minutes remain, Kevin Harvick has turned the most laps of all drivers at 71. Harvick was fighting power steering issues in both practice session yesterday as well as qualifying. It appears the team has that bug worked out.

Clint Bowyer wins final practice at Atlanta Motor Speedway!
