After slew of rain delays, drivers finally get practice round in
RELATED: Practice results
Originally, the first practice round for the XFINITY Series was scheduled for 2 p.m. ET at Kentucky Speedway, but due to tough weather conditions Thursday the on-track events for all three series were either canceled or rescheduled.
Thus, the sole practice session for the NASCAR XFINITY Series drivers began once the rain stopped at 5 p.m. ET. The No. 28 Chevrolet of J.J. Yeley topped the event with a best speed of 174.967 mph (30.863 seconds).
Ty Dillon finished second (174.729 mph) following an emotional few days leading up to the Kentucky weekend after his brother Austin’s crash in the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona.
Rounding out the top three was Brendan Gaughan‘s No. 62 with a fastest lap of 174.526 mph (30.941 seconds).
Next to complete the session were Keselowski (174.22 mph), Menard (174.137 mph) and Kyle Busch (173.896 mph) taking fourth, fifth and sixth, respectively.
NASCAR XFINITY Series action continues Friday with Coors Light Pole Qualifying at 3:45 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Network (Follow live).
