Kyle Larson topped Thursday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practice at Daytona International Speedway, posting a best speed of 192.699 mph on a chilly Florida afternoon.
Larson's top speed was the slowest among all practice session leaders this week, but it came on a day in which nearly every Sprint Cup Series team opted to use the practice time to work on their respective cars in the garage, instead.
Single-car runs were the norm Thursday, and only four others joined Larson on the 2.5-mile superspeedway.
Cole Whitt finished behind Larson in second place (190.710 mph), followed by Michael Annett (190.098 mph), J.J. Yeley (189.478 mph) and Jeb Burton (187.864 mph). Burton steered his No. 26 Toyota onto the track with five minutes remaining in practice.
Thursday's 85-minute session was the only on-track time for Sprint Cup Series cars Thursday in advance of tonight's Budweiser Duels (7 p.m. ET, FOX Sports 1).
