Important Practice Notes

Carson Hocevar - The No. 77 Chevrolet wasn't crazy fast on the stopwatch in practice, but Carson Hocevar really liked his race car, noting that it's the best one he has ever had at Kansas.
Chris Buescher - The Fords struggled a bit in practice, but Chris Buescher didn't. In addition to laying down the sixth-fastest overall lap, Buescher ranked second-best in 20-lap average.
