Jackson Hewitt Preseason Thunder at Daytona wrapped up Tuesday with J.J. Yeley posting the fastest speed during the final session.

Yeley clocked his No. 1 Chevrolet at 187.30 mph in the afternoon test, which was sixth-highest among the 46 drivers.

Ward Burton posted an a.m. speed of 183.782 mph in the No. 27 Ford to lead his second consecutive morning session. Burton was 10th in the afternoon practice.

The top of the charts looked familiar in both sessions as seven drivers posted top-10 speeds in each practice: Erik Darnell, Carl Edwards, Bill Elliott, Jon Wood, Mike Wallace, Casey Mears and Burton.

Darnell was second in the afternoon at 187.099 in the 06 Ford, improving upon his 10th-place run in the morning. No other driver topped the 187 mph mark.

Toyota did not participate Tuesday.

Kyle Busch was the fastest driver at Busch testing, his Chevrolet followed by the Dodge of Sam Hornish Jr. and Toyota of Dave Blaney. Robert Richardson and Casey Mears, both in Chevrolets, rounded out the top five.

The fastest Ford driver was Darnell, who was seventh.
