Darlington
Practice Report

Duration: 50 minutes

Denny Hamlin is the first car on the race track. He’s running a throwback scheme to Darrell Waltrip.

Alex Bowman is fastest overall at the halfway point. The entire top ten is separated by less than two tenths of a second.

Halfway in Darlington Practice: 1. Alex Bowman (29.069); 2. Martin Truex Jr (29.135); 3. Aric Almirola (29.143); 4. Clint Bowyer (29.157); 5. Denny Hamlin (29.196); 6. Kurt Busch (29.197); 7. Chris Buescher (29.199); 8. Ricky Stenhouse Jr (29.201); 9. Joey Logano (29.205); 10. Jimmie Johnson (29.212);

The areo ducts weren’t originally announced for this weekend’s NASCAR event. However, a rules change mid-season has changed that.

The cars are fitted with the 550hp engine package over the 750hp package of last year. In addition, the aero ducts are in play with the taller rear spoiler as well.

The idea is to bunch up the field. However, in this practice session we aren’t seeing any drafting runs. Everyone is out there running with large gaps between competitors.

Kurt Busch wins the opening round of NASCAR Cup Series practice. Nine drivers made qualifying runs. Alex Bowman was quickest in 5-lap averages.
