Las Vegas NASCAR Practice Speeds, Lap Averages, and Notes

Ryan Blaney - NASCAR DFS Picks, Betting Picks, Daily Fantasy NASCAR

The NASCAR Cup Series ran a single practice session at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday afternoon in preparation for the upcoming Pennzoil 400 on Sunday afternoon.

The 36-car field was split in to two groups for practice, with each group getting just 25 minutes on track. The announcer booth thought that the first group had a speed advantage due to the track being green when their first went out, but that didn't end up being the case.

Below you will find the two groups, key notes from the practice session, as well as the practice speeds for all drivers.

 

Important Practice Notes

Ryan Blaney - About 15 minutes into the first group's session, Ryan Blaney blew a right rear tire and spun out, backing his No. 12 Ford into the wall. Blaney's team assessed the damage and determined that it was fixable and they didn't need to go to a backup car.

Ross Chastian - The No. 1 Chevrolet was super fast in practice on Saturday afternoon. Chastain laid down a single lap over two tenths of a second faster than the rest of the field, and had the best 20-lap average as well.

William Byron - About 15 minutes in into the second group's session, William Byron brought his No. 24 Chevrolet onto pit road, complaining of a vibration. Crew chief, Rudy Fugle, had the team look at the car and determined there was nothing to worry about. It may have been cautionary after what happened to Blaney in the first group.
