The horsepower remains the same as last year, the downforce has been drastically increased. Many expected a new track record for qualifying.

We didn’t get a track record. However, we did get a fight!

Watch the Daniel Suarez and Michael McDowell fight videos here.

Daniel Suarez wasn’t happy that Michael McDowell held him up during his hot lap. Suarez then attempted to wreck him after the session as both cars were eliminated in round one.

Suarez climbed from his car and went for a walk toward McDowell. He was met with a hand on his throat. The drivers exchanged a bear hug then a tackle to the ground as they traded punches.

After the initial impact, the tempers calmed. McDowell and Suarez were able to not so calmly talk about what happened on the track.

Ryan Blaney led practice earlier. Now, he takes the pole. It’s the first pole for Team Penske in 2019. He and Chase Elliott will set the front row for Sunday’s NASCAR race.
