Texas NASCAR Practice #1 Notes

Kyle Busch – Near the start of practice he had a tire go down and hit the wall hard which brought out the caution. He said it killed the right side. He will be going to a backup car. He was originally using a new chassis. Didn’t get back out on the track until the final 30 minutes. Was in qualifying trim exclusively.

Kevin Harvick – Started in race trim and had great speed. He was the fastest driver in race trim. Went to qualifying trim 45 minutes into practice. Using his Chicagoland chassis. His team is very confident in this chassis. Jumped to the top of the speed chart in qualifying trim with about 14 minutes remaining.
