Final Practice Report

Duration: 50 minutes

5 minutes in, Ryan Blaney sits at the top of the times sheet. He and William Byron are running a tribute paint scheme to Kobe Bryant this weekend.

Just as we saw in the opening round of practice, drivers set their fast laps early in the session. The tires far off at a rapid rate.

15 minutes in, Kyle Busch brushes the wall in turn three. The car landed on the bumps and it washed up into the fence. Busch heads to the garage.

Halfway in Auto Club practice

Halfway in NASCAR practice: 1. Ryan Blaney (40.866); 2. Alex Bowman (40.955); 3. Christopher Bell (40.980); 4. Clint Bowyer (40.984); 5. Brad Keselowski (41.005); 6. Matt DiBenedetto (41.050); 7. Tyler Reddick (41.102); 8. Kurt Busch (41.123); 9. Chase Elliott (41.124); 10. Joey Logano (41.167);

Just past the halfway mark, not only does Blaney sit at the top of the overall times sheet but he also leads in 20 lap averages.

17 minutes remain, Kyle Busch is back on track after earlier contact with the wall.

15 minutes remain, Chase Elliott is sitting in the garage area. He’s done for the session as he serves an inspection penalty from last week.

10 minutes remain, Alex Bowman jumps to the top of the board. He was quickest in the opening round. With new tires, he surfaces back at the top.

It’s a clean sweep of the weekend thus far. Alex Bowman wins final NASCAR practice at Auto Club Speedway!
