Note: The the second and final practice scheduled was canceled, but these first-practice speeds mean little to the overall equation. The start position means very little as well. It's plate racing. The driver rating coming into the practice holds more weight. Ford's are still the elite in plate races as the first seven top-speeds showed in first practice, for whatever that's worth. Enjoy!
