Bristol NASCAR Happy Hour Practice Notes

Drivers parked for the first 15 minutes: McMurray, Kahne, Bowyer, Elliott, Buescher, Allmendinger, Johnson and Truex.

Erik Jones – Likes his car over long runs. Said his car felt good and his balance was close to where he wanted it. Thinks the 20 and 18 are the two best cars.

Matt Kenseth – Has a fast car and stayed in race trim the entire session. Said his car was a lot better this practice. Worked to get a good balance that was fast. Started with a 19 lap run that put him 1st on the speed chart. Erik Jones thinks he has one of the best cars.
