INDIANAPOLIS — Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick made their opinions perfectly clear Saturday. They’d rather be racing on Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s historic oval.
Now, after one short practice session, Cup drivers spent Saturday night plotting their strategical twists and turns for Sunday’s reconfigured and renamed Brickyard 200.
“I really enjoyed it," Kyle Larson said after posting the third-fastest lap in practice at 97.445 mph. “I thought it was flowing and there were some hard-braking zones. I seemed to adapt to it pretty quickly, so I was definitely pleased."
Larson is this season's points leader after adding his series-high fifth victory last week on the road course at Watkins Glen.
