2024 Daytona 500 NASCAR Practice Speeds, Lap Averages, and Notes

Tyler Reddick - NASCAR DFS Picks, Betting Picks, Daily Fantasy NASCAR Driver

The NASCAR Cup Series ran a practice session at Daytona International Speedway on Friday evening in preparation for the upcoming season-opening Daytona 500, which is scheduled for Sunday afternoon (although there is rain in the forecast).

Practice at large superspeedway tracks, such as Daytona and Talladega, typically doesn't mean much when it comes to predicting which cars will be fast during the race. These practice sessions are more for drivers to get a feel for how the car is going to race and make any small adjustments.

During the Duel races on Thursday night, we saw the Toyotas have plenty of race speed, and that was the case during this practice session as well. The eight fastest cars during this practice were all Toyotas.

Important Practice Notes

Chris Buescher - Chris Buescher did not participate in this practice session, as he flew home for the birth of his child. David Ragan got into Buscher's No. 17 Ford and logged some laps to shake it down and ensure nothing was wrong with it before the race.

Jimmie Johnson - The No. 84 team at Legacy Motor Club had to do plenty of repairs on Jimmie Johnson's Toyota after he was involved in a wreck during the Duel race on Thursday night, but Johnson noted during Friday's practice that he felt good about the repaired race car.

Anthony Alfredo - Of the 40 drivers in the Daytona 500, the only one who did not practice for a single lap on Friday was Anthony Alfredo. This was likely because the Beard Motorsports team did not want to risk their No. 62 Chevrolet getting any damage before the race.
