Dover NASCAR Happy Hour Practice Notes

Jimmie Johnson – Early in practice while he was at the top of the speed chart his crew chief said, “Lap times look really good, P1 on the board.” Following his second run he reported that his handling improved.

Kyle Larson – Appears to have really good speed this weekend. Started with a long run. Tested here last month. Has great speed over a long run.

Chase Elliott – He’s using a similar setup to what he used last fall. 20 minutes into practice while he was 10th he said, “No improvement in ride. I’m still to the free side.”

Matt Tifft – Early in practice he said he has little rear grip. 25 minutes into practice while he was 35th he said, “The back of the car was better there, but the splitter is just hitting everywhere on the racetrack.”

Joey Logano – Made a +35 lap run. Larry McReynold’s liked his long run speed. His team was pleased with their consistency.
