Ryan Blaney, who suffered a heartbreaking loss last weekend at Gateway, ended up fastest in Friday’s NASCAR Cup practice at Sonoma (Calif.) Raceway.
Blaney, the reigning series champion, is still without a win this year after running out of gas with two laps remaining last weekend. Blaney, however, set a blistering pace in practice with an average lap speed of 97.866 mph set in the final minutes. NASCAR provided teams one 50-minute practice session on Friday after the track underwent a complete repave earlier this year. If Blaney’s lap was done in qualifying, he would set a new track record.
Completing the top 10 were Michael McDowell, Noah Gragson, Zane Smith, Ross Chastain and Martin Truex Jr. About nine minutes in, Josh Berry spun around in Turn 2 and briefly ran off track. He did not appear to suffer any damage to his No. 4 Ford. Cam Waters, a 12-time Supercars winner also making his Cup debut this weekend, spun and slid off course in Turn 1 about 15 minutes in and nearly hit the tire barrier but was able to return to the track.
