NASCAR Michigan Practice Update: Hendrick Motorsports Looks Strong
Jimmie Johnson was third and Jeff Gordon was fifth as the Hendrick cars all looked strong – Dale Earnhardt Jr. was 12th.
Kyle Busch grabbed the No. 2 spot (187.417) and pole-sitter Greg Biffle was fourth-fastest. The rest of the top 10 included Kurt Busch, Matt Kenseth, Ryan Newman, David Ragan and Paul Menard.
Menard was the quickest of the 24 drivers who ran 10 or more laps consecutively in practice, which should be a good sign for Sunday.
Next on that list were the Busch Brothers (Kyle, then Kurt), Clint Bowyer and hometown favorite Brad Keselowski.
The race is expected to begin shortly after 1 p.m. on Sunday.
