The second practice session for the Daytona 500 is complete, and there were no issues during the hour-long session. Manufacturers stayed with their own, running carefully coordinated groups to minimize risk.<\/p>\n
Chevrolet had the biggest group, so it’s no surprise that bowties dominated the top ten on the speed. Austin Dillon<\/a> led the way in the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing<\/a> Chevrolet (195.63mph), followed by Alex Bowman<\/a> in the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports<\/a> Chevrolet (195.452mph), and Justin Allgaier<\/a> in the No. 40 JR Motorsports<\/a> Chevrolet (195.071mph).<\/p>\n Chase Elliott<\/a> and Ricky Stenhouse Jr<\/a>. rounded out the top five, followed by Shane van Gisbergen<\/a>, William Byron<\/a>, Ross Chastain<\/a>, Kyle Larson<\/a>, and Connor Zilisch<\/a>.<\/p>\n Josh Berry<\/a> was the top Ford driver in eleventh, while Christopher Bell<\/a> led the way for Toyota in 21st.<\/p>\n “We got out there, messed around a little bit in the draft,” said Dillon, who will start seventh in Sunday’s Daytona 500.<\/a> “Our Chevy has speed, obviously. It’s nice to see it atop the board, and last night it was fun out there pushing guys around and really just having the pace we need to be at the front. Tring to take care of it. A few minor adjustments for the heat that we’re going to experience on Sunday. Theres’ a couple things we’ve been working on with our new Camaro, but I think it’s good.”<\/p>\n Dillon’s RCR teammate Kyle Busch earned pole position for the 500. In Wednesday’s first practice session, Team Penske’s Austin Cindric topped the speed charts, but he only reached 187.402mph.<\/p>\n AJ Allmendinger<\/a>, Ryan Preece<\/a>, and Casey Mears<\/a> did not take part in practice as they were still repairing damage sustained in Thursday’s Duel qualifying races. Cody Ware<\/a> also sat out Friday’s practice session.<\/p>\n Photos from Daytona 500 – Friday<\/p>\n Read Also:<\/p>\n Daytona 500 Practice #2 Full Results<\/p>\n We want your opinion!<\/p>\n What would you like to see on Motorsport.com?<\/p>\n
