Practice – Report
Duration: 50 minutes
A long line of cars have formed at the edge of the pit lane. The green drops and they all hit the track at once.
45 minutes remaining, Chase Elliott has flames pouring out of the back of his machine. He comes to a stop on the track and climbs out of the window to bring out the red. That’s a major mechanical issue on lap 5.
26 minutes remaining, Ryan Blaney gives a little bump to Kyle Busch off the corner. Busch pulls to the side and lets him go.
