Bristol Motor Speedway is attempting to make this a one groove race track. PJ1 has been installed on the bottom groove. We’ve seen that before. But, new for this race, they’ve also pressure washed all the rubber off the 2nd and 3rd grooves.

Practice Report

Duration: 50 minutes

Kyle Busch is the first car on the race track in this morning session. He’s rolling super slow, just testing out both the high and low groove. He never got up to speed and comes back to the pit lane.

5 minutes in, Denny Hamlin is on the track. However, he heads into turn three and the front end doesn’t stick. The nose washes up the track and Hamlin returns to the pits.

10 minutes in, Kyle Busch is facing the same issues as his JGR teammate. He returns to the pits as well.

Erik Jones is quickest at the halfway point in this session.

Halfway in Bristol Practice: 1. Erik Jones (14.997); 2. Joey Logano (15.008); 3. Matt DiBenedetto (15.032); 4. Denny Hamlin (15.034); 5. Kyle Busch (15.038); 6. Ryan Blaney (15.065); 7. Brad Keselowski (15.091); 8. Martin Truex Jr (15.098); 9. Alex Bowman (15.098); 10. Jimmie Johnson (15.141);

The fast cars are right around the bottom. If the car rolls a foot off the bottom, they’ll be slow. For the meantime, old Bristol is back.

2 minutes remain, Ricky Stenhouse Jr and Kyle Larson are attempting to run the middle of the race track. These are the only two to try it all day. Together, they’ll trying to build the rubber up. Kyle Busch joins them.

Denny Hamlin wins the opening round of NASCAR practice in Tennessee!
