Final Practice – Report
Duration: 50 minutes
10 minutes in, Kyle Busch sits at the top of the times sheet.
Drivers are really fighting the wheel all the way through the corners. It’s polar opposite of the handling characteristics from their last trip to this same track.
20 minutes in, Chase Elliott jumps to the top of the board. Hendrick Motorsports is fast this weekend.
Chase Elliott is once again quickest at halfway mark of NASCAR practice.
Halfway in NASCAR Final Practice: 1. Chase Elliott (26.823); 2. Kyle Busch (26.825); 3. Aric Almirola (26.935); 4. Ty Dillon (27.013); 5. Joey Logano (27.135); 6. Erik Jones (27.163); 7. Brad Keselowski (27.166); 8. Ryan Blaney (27.168); 9. Kurt Busch (27.173); 10. Kevin Harvick (27.176);
Kurt Busch has lost the final 15 minutes of practice due to inspection issues last week. Martin Truex Jr already served one 30-minute practice hold and now he’ll serve another at the end of this session. Truex Jr had many issues in inspection last week.
5 minutes remain, many drivers are venturing into the PJ1 for the first time. It’s takes awhile to get some heat into it. Kyle Larson and Jimmie Johnson were turning laps up there and now others are following.
Chase Elliott wins the final round of Phoenix Raceway practice!
