Important Practice Notes
Ross Chastain - The No. 1 Chevrolet got into the wall pretty hard, as Chastain entered turn three a little too high and lost control of the car. Ross mentioned that the Trackhouse team was going to assess the damage. He was the fastest on the track at that time.
Denny Hamlin - Hamlin was one of the fastest in practice, but he wasn't happy with his No. 11 Toyota at all. He eventually brought it back down pit road for adjustments, saying he was having a very difficult time driving it.
William Byron - The No. 24 Chevrolet was noticeably fast in this practice session. The booth mentioned that Rudy Fugle and the team learned a lot at Kansas a couple of weeks ago, which helped them get on track for the setup here at Vegas.
