Yahoo Autos Reddick leads Cup Series practice at Pocono after solo spin
Tyler Reddick spun Saturday during NASCAR Cup Series practice at Pocono Raceway, only to return later and set the fastest time.
The 23XI Racing driver had a single-car incident at the exit of Turn 1 early in his practice group, but Reddick kept his car off the wall and was able to drive back to his pit stall and the attention of his team.
Reddick’s fastest lap was 168.231mph (53.498s). He topped the board over William Byron’s 167.942mph lap.
Martin Truex Jr. was third fastest (167.942mph), Bubba Wallace was fourth (167.863mph) and Michael McDowell completed the top five (167.773mph).
Ty Gibbs was sixth (167.218mph); Austin Cindric, seventh (167.205mph); Kyle Larson, eighth (167.137mph); Daniel Suarez, ninth (167.016mph) and Carson Hocevar completed the top 10 (166.994mph).
Larson, the championship point leader, also went for a single-car spin. The Hendrick Motorsports driver spun in Turn 2 and did not hit anything.
Reddick and Larson were the only incidents in practice. Denny Hamlin, the defending race winner, was 24th fastest. He also ran the most laps of any driver (21).
Martin Truex Jr. was the fastest in the best 10 consecutive lap average. It was Truex over Reddick, Cindric, Gibbs, and Hamlin.
