Report
Laps: 1
Angela Ruch is around early in this session. She avoids the wall after spinning on her warmup lap. She spun just after exiting the pit lane.
Ruch has a flat right front tire after that spin. She might not be allowed to turn a lap in this session as she comes right back to the pit lane without completing a lap.
Teams are running full-throttle, all the way around this track. A lot of teams struggled with handling issues in this morning’s practice. But, they’re making it work so far.
Ross Chastain jumps to the top of the board at the halfway point. Chastain will fill-in for the injured Ryan Newman in the NASCAR Cup Series event this weekend.
It’s short lived, as expected, Kyle Busch jumps to the top of the times sheet.
Sheldon Creed to the top of the board. Just a handful of cars remain. Creed ran a very narrow exit off turn four and left plenty of room between the outside wall. He then cut it below the apron and ran right to the edge of the grass. Making the track a bit shorter worked out for him.
Sauter is clear by a half tenth as he rolled down the back stretch. He holds it through turns three and four, Sauter to the top.
Johnny Sauter will start from the pole position in tonight’s truck race at las Vegas!
