The NASCAR Cup Series ran a single practice session at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday afternoon in preparation for the upcoming Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday afternoon.
The 40-car field was split in to two groups for practice, with each group getting 25 minutes on track.
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
Ross Chastain - Ross Chastain had one of the fastest cars in practice, but he didn't escape the session without problems. With about 12 minutes to go in practice, Chastain blew a left rear tire and spun out, hitting the wall. There's no word yet on if the No. 1 team will have to go to a backup car for the race.
Kyle Busch - The No. 8 team had some major issues during practice, and Kyle Busch wasn't able to get much track time. In addition to radio problems between driver and team, Busch also reported major problems with the steering.
Denny Hamlin - During the first group's session, Denny Hamlin got a little too high and scraped the outside wall. There wasn't much damage to the No. 11 Toyota and shouldn't be anything to worry about.
