NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Larson is in the show for the first time since 2018. He’s driving the No. 17 for Hendrick Motorsports. The car is an old cup car that’s been converted to an Xfinity machine. Cole Custer and Tyler Reddick are also in the Xfinity field.
Just ahead of qualifying, teams took to the track for a brief 20 minute practice session. Cole Custer topped the session with a 135.562.
Noah Gragson made light contact with the wall during practice. He attempted to take more curb and it sent him spinning.
