Practice Report
Duration: 50 Min
45 minutes remain, many are struggling with handling. Larson drove it in on the bottom lane and washed up the banking, nearly clipping Brad Keselowski in the process.
35 minutes remain, the draft is fully in place. We’re seeing larger groups of cars catch smaller groups ahead.
The high lane has more banking but it’s still a disadvantage. The inside lane is the place to be but some are making the outside lane work with help behind them.
30 minutes remain, we’re seeing pack racing. 20 cars have bunched up and run two by two.
15 minutes remain, the pack has dissipated as most of the field heads to the pit lane for final adjustments.
5 minutes remain, a new pack has formed on the track. Drivers are using the bottom and middle lane. The upper lane appears to be a bail out lane, for now.
