Dillon’s No. 3 Chevrolet, which also topped Friday’s opening practice, laid down a fast lap of 178.224 mph, while Hemric’s No. 8 came up at 177.072 mph. A trio of Fords completed the top five, with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. coming up third in his No. 17 and Aric Almirola and Brad Keselowski ranking fourth and fifth, respectively.
