Early in practice, many cars are bottoming out through the bumps. This is pretty much across the board on low air pressures.
30 minutes remain in practice, Tyler Reddick comes to a stop on the apron with a flat tire after 22 laps. The safety crew is in place to pump up the suspension so he can drive it back to the pit lane.
20 minutes left in practice, Josh Berry has slammed the turn one wall. The backend steps out with another flat tire and he backs it hard into the fence. At the same time, Ty Gibbs slows with a flat tire but he picks up no damage.
3 minutes remain in practice, Noah Gragson becomes the latest to blow a tire. He backs it hard into the outside wall.
William Byron tops the times sheet after practice with a laptime of 29.632. Qualifying is up next…
Denny Hamlin will start from the pole position in Sunday’s South Point 400. He turned a laptime at 28.910 seconds.
