Kevin Harvick – Focused on race runs in practice and switched over to qualifying trim at the end. In his first lap in practice he said he was tight and was hitting the splitter. Needs to turn better in turn #1 and needs more rear grip. Later he said, “Feels pretty good right there”. Went to qualifying trim 40 minutes into practice.

Mark Martin – Happy with the balance of his car.

David Gilliland – Tight across the center and free back to gas.
