Below you will find the two groups, key notes from the practice session, as well as the practice speeds for all drivers.
Important Practice Notes
Michael McDowell - The No. 71 Chevrolet spun out early in the session, but there was no major damage to the race car. McDowell came into the race weekend as one of the favorites, but admitted after his practice session that they were struggling quite a bit this weekend (so far) to find the speed that they expected.
Shane van Gisbergen - SVG had the third-fastest single lap and ranked fastest in 10-lap average during practice, but when interviewed afterward, he said the car wasn't very good. The practice speeds don't line up with van Gisbergen's words.
