This track is called
‘The Lady in Black’. It has that name because drivers paint the walls black in
tire marks. However, nobody found the wall in the opening round of practice.

Final Practice Report
Duration: 50 minutes
A group of 15 cars
have lined up at the edge of the pit lane ahead of the green. The session
begins and Joey Logano is the first car to the racing surface.
In the opening round
of practice we saw a lot of single car gaps with large gaps between them.
They’re looking far more racey in this session.
10 minutes in, Aric Almirola has tagged the wall off turn two. Moderate damage to the entire right side.
The track remains
green. Stewart-Haas Racing is currently unloading the backup.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr
leads at the halfway point. That’s a qualifying run.
