Team Penske's Ryan Blaney (192.480 mph) and Joey Logano (192.472 mph) rounded out a top-five sweep of Ford drivers.
"It’s nice to take these Ford Mustangs and put them in a line and be able to put some speed up on the board," Buescher said. "We know we were able to in the Duels, and I think we’ve got a good handle on it. We’ve got plenty of laps, so I’m ready for the 500 now."
Ross Chastain (192.345 mph), Chase Elliott (192.184 mph), AJ Allmendinger (190.917 mph), BJ McLeod (190.880 mph) and Cody Ware (190.739 mph) completed the top 10.
Only 18 drivers set a lap time, including Legacy Motor Club's Jimmie Johnson, who was the only Toyota driver to hit the track in Saturday's 50-minute session for the "Great American Race."
