Erik Jones sets early pace in Michigan
Erik Jones rose atop the NASCAR XFINITY Series speed chart in opening practice Friday, leading a session interrupted by track workers trying to capture a stray groundhog on the backstraight.
Jones powered the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 20 Toyota to a best lap of 192.092 mph. He'll seek his third victory of the season in Saturday's Menards 250 presented by Valvoline (1:30 p.m. ET, FS1, MRN, SiriusXM) at the 2-mile track.
Ty Dillon registered the second-fastest lap at 191.882 mph in the Richard Childress Racing No. 3 Chevrolet. Joey Logano (191.714 mph), Paul Menard (191.296 mph) and defending race winner Kyle Busch (191.215 mph) completed the top five in 55-minute session.
The 55-minute session was delayed more than 10 minutes while track safety workers cornered a groundhog on the loose. The crew's initial capture was foiled when the critter worked free of a bucket. The chase continued until a larger trash can was brought in to confine the groundhog.
