Powering his No. 00 Chevrolet at 96.068 mph, Cole Custer soared to the top of the leaderboard during Friday’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series practice at Martinsville Speedway. This weekend marks the 17-year-old’s first start with Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s JR Motorsports, the team making its initial foray into the Truck Series this season.
ThorSport Racing‘s Cameron Hayley made a late run for the runner-up spot, claiming the second position on the leaderboard with a high speed of 95.622 mph. His teammate Johnny Sauter also made a late run at the Virgina track and posted the third-fastest speed (95.530 mph).
Joey Logano, who is stepping into the No. 29 driver’s seat for Brad Keselowski Racing this weekend, wheeled around the paperclip oval fourth-fastest at 95.415 mph.
Logano’s teammate for the weekend, Tyler Reddick, rounded out the top five with a high speed of 95.410 mph.
Just shy of a top-five speed was Erik Jones, who is back in his No. 4 Kyle Busch Motorsports ride.
Two-time defending series champion Matt Crafton showed initial speed in his No. 88 ThorSport Racing ride, but came up short, posting the 15th-fastest speed in the field.
The first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series practice was canceled due to inclement weather, so this session will serve as the series’ only practice this weekend.
The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series is back on the track on Saturday at 11:15 a.m. for Keystone Light Pole Qualifying with coverage on FOX Sports 1.
