Before Saturday, Shane Van Gisbergen had never run a lap on the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL. That doesn’t matter, since he was quickest overall in both NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series practice.
In the first grouping of 20-minute sessions, it was AJ Allmendinger, Zane Smith, Austin Cindric, William Byron, and Carson Hocevar the top five. In the second grouping, it was Van Gisbergen over Austin Dillon, Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, and AJ Allmendinger.
