Raphael Lessard and Ben Rhodes paced the two sessions, respectively.

Lessard wheeled his way atop the leaderboard with a speed of 92.860 mph.

Rhodes, a two-time winner this season, completed 39 laps en route to topping the leaderboard this session.
Ryan Newman, driving for new team DCC Racing, was second quickest.
Tanner Gray was third-fastest.
Friesen and Matt Crafton rounded out the top five, respectively.
There were a few spins in this session, but JR Heffner suffered the most damage when he destroyed his No. 3 Jordan Anderson Racing Chevrolet. The team will likely have to go to a backup vehicle.
