DOVER, Del. — The preliminaries are all wrapped up for Sunday’s AAA 400 Drive for Autism at Dover International Speedway (12:30 p.m. ET, FS1).
And when the dust settled on the third and final Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series practice at the Monster Mile, Kyle Larson was atop the speed charts.
Larson, driver of the No. 42 Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet, had a best lap of 157.411 miles per hour around the 1-mile, high-banked concrete oval track, tops among the 39 drivers in the field.
Second fast was no surprise: Jimmie Johnson, owner of a record 10 Dover race victories, clocked in at 157.
