Kyle Larson took the top spot on the board during the final lap of the session on Friday. Larson wasn't content with second as he took over the top spot as the red flag was displayed to end the session. His teammate Jamie McMurray was second in the session followed by Kyle Busch, William Byron, and Chase Elliott.Defending race winner Ryan Newman finished the session in 15th, Newman along with Ty Dillon and a few other drivers had issues with brakes during the session. This is the first race of the season where we're seeing the importance of brakes. Teams can get a feel on brakes before the series heads to Martinsville in two weeks.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was the only driver to not complete at least one lap during the session. Stenhouse attempted to do so but as he entered turn three his car shot up the race track and nailed the outside wall. That will result in the No. 17 going to a backup car.
Qualifying will be shown on Fox Sports 1 beginning at 5:00 p.m./ET.
