This is the lone practice session ahead of qualifying later today. Drivers spent the majority of practice making single car runs.

The drivers are excited to have the power back. On top of that, they also have added downforce over last year. The combination of those two things will make the cars bad-fast this weekend.

Track records are expected to be broken in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series field. SO, what’s the current track records for ISM Raceway? Jimmie Johnson turned a 25.147 in qualifying back on November 13, 2015. Tony Stewart holds the race record at 2:38:28.

Ryan Blaney was quickest overall at the conclusion of practice one. He turned a 25.403 with an average speed of 141.716mph. That’s three tenths off the track record speed.

“It doesn’t pay nothin,” Ryan Blaney told Fox Sports following qualifying. “It means something. It means you have a good race car in Q-trim.”

“This is the first short track with this new package. Everyone’s trying to figure it out. Figure out what you can get away with as far as the setup. These cars are a lot faster than they were last year around this place.”
