Indianapolis
Practice – Report

Duration: 50 minutes

Jimmy Johnson is on the outside looking in on the playoff bubble. He’s the first car on the race track in the opening round of practice.

Johnson is tight on his opening run. He nearly pushed it into the outside wall off the corner.

39 minutes remaining, the caution is out for debris. Kyle Larson was one of the drivers on the track at the time of the yellow.

Halfway in Indianapolis Practice: 1. Brad Keselowski (49.267); 2. Jimmie Johnson (49.284); 3. Denny Hamlin (49.288); 4. Clint Bowyer (49.358); 5. Kurt Busch (49.362); 6. Kyle Larson (49.398); 7. Ryan Blaney (49.461); 8. William Byron (49.465); 9. Kevin Harvick (49.481); 10. Bubba Wallace (49.487);

10 minutes remain in practice, Ryan Newman is loose. The back end stepped out into turn four and again of turn four. He stays in the throttle as he’s been fighting a loose condition for the whole session.

Moments later, Jimmie Johnson jumps to the top of the times sheet. That was a qualifying run.

2 minutes remain, a bunch of cars have hit the track at once. It’s unclear if they’re in qualifying trim or if the draft is just helping but the times are dropping rapidly.

Kyle Larson wins the opening round of practice!
