Just ahead of qualifying teams rolled to the track for two groups of practice. Many drivers suffered from a loss of grip in both sessions. The track isn’t taking rubber. Austin Dillon will go to a backup car after contact with the wall.

Brad Keselowski is fastest overall following practice. He turned a laptime at 22.690 seconds.

A bit of rain rolled to the track with just two minutes left in group B practice. That rain has washed out qualifying. The starting grid will now be set via the rule book.

Kyle Busch will start from the front row.
