Gordon, who is the most recent race winner at Michigan, edged Kyle Busch (198.571 mph), with Martin Truex Jr. (198.571 mph), Kyle Larson (198.495 mph) and Kevin Harvick (198.358 mph) rounding out the top five. Harvick led the first two practice sessions, including the one early Saturday that was delayed by weather conditions.

Denny Hamlin spun in Turn 4 and brought out the red flag with about 35 minutes left in practice. Hamlin suffered damage to the right-front fender of his No. 11 Toyota when his tire blew. Hamlin was forced to go to a backup car. (UPDATE: Hamlin's crew repaired his primary car and didn't go to a backup.)

Just outside of the top five was Dale Earnhardt Jr., followed by Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards, Brad Keselowski and Hamlin.

Sunday's Quicken Loans 400 is set for 1 p.m. ET with coverage on FOX Sports 1, MRN and SiriusXM.

Harvick tops second practice session
Practice 2 results


The fog in the Irish Hills couldn't put a damper on Kevin Harvick's speed in the second of three NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practice sessions.

The driver of the No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet posted a lap of 201.084 mph to pace practice on Saturday morning at Michigan International Speedway in a session that started 30 minutes late because of foggy, damp conditions at the track.

Coors Light Pole Award winner Kasey Kahne finished second to Harvick, who also led Friday's opening round of practice. Kahne, who was the only other driver to top 200 mph, was followed by Kyle Larson, Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. to round out the top five.

Defending race winner Jimmie Johnson was 10th at 198.769 mph.

The caution flag came out less than 10 minutes into the session because of debris in Turns 1 and 2.
