Clint Bowyer led a brief practice session Friday at Talladega Superspeedway, turning a lap in his No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford at 196.822 mph.
Bowyer clocked the time before the red flag came out at 2:44 p.m. ET for rain after 13 minutes, 29 seconds of action on the 2.66-mile track.
Kevin Harvick was second in his No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford at 196.439 mph. Rounding out the top five were Brad Keselowski in the No. 2 Team Penske Ford, Kurt Busch in the No. 41 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford and Joey Logano on the No. 22 Team Penske Ford.
The session was so abbreviated because of rain that Erik Jones and Kyle Busch completed a field-high 13 laps for the most time on the track.
The cars of Kyle Larson, Danica Patrick and Ty Dillon were scheduled to sit out the first 15 minutes of practice to serve penalties, and were not able to turn a single lap. Larson and Dillon were late to pre-race inspection at Richmond; Patrick failed pre-race LIS.
Rain in the area led to the cancelling of final practice, which had been scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET.
