Group A

Kyle Busch was one of the first on track and set a blistering pace with an average lap speed of 188.788 mph to lead the first 20-minute session.

Busch’s JGR teammate, Hamlin, ended up second-fastest (187.999 mph) and Harvick was third (187.095 mph).

“You have to be productive in how you look at your laps because of the draft. The car drives good and we’ll see how it plays out,” Harvick said.

There were no on-track incidents in the first session.
