Little bit slower this practice, but I think he's running race runs, only 0.02sec off the #22, which was by far the fastest car in 1st practice.

yep, really cool to be fast.

Anybody have any idea about when (or if) q runs were made?

They made qualifying runs in 1st practice, I don't think they've made any in this session that I've noticed. I think it makes more sense to have run them in the 1st session, more like the weather they'll experience tomorrow for quals.

Factory support baby! I'm pumped about this season. RG has been good at speedways for a long time, b ut you really get a feel for what he's bringing the rest of the season once we hit races 2-5. SO far sooooo good.

Awesome to go to the practice speed pages on Nascar.com and see the speeds. Like someone else said, this also reminds me of the RCR days.

He really picked it up, identical lap time as Harvick.

he'll have a decent qualifying position. I think he'll be 15-20th going into raceday. That would make me happy.

It looks like all the hard work this off season is paying off. Penske horse power and pit crew are definitely a benefit. If you look at lap times, his average times are faster than previous years, for the first 2 races his cars are better prepared for first practice. Bones is making a difference.
