Indiana native Justin Haley was the fastest driver overall in two NASCAR Xfinity Series practice sessions Friday for the Indiana 250 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Haley, 20, from Winamac, Indiana, topped the charts at 168.227 mph in his No. 11 LeafFilter Chevrolet that features a paint scheme honoring his grandfather. Xfinity Series championship leader Tyler Reddick was second at 168.199, followed by Brandon Jones at 168.196 in No. 19 First Foundation Toyota, Austin Dillon at 167.713 in the No. 10 Ellsworth Advisors Chevrolet and three-time Indiana 250 winner Kyle Busch at 167.710 in the No. 18 Combs Toyota. Drivers ran in large packs of sometimes 10 or more cars in the final practice session as they tried to draft and slingshot past each other to simulate race conditions expected in the 100-lap race Saturday, which starts at 3 p.m. The second practice session included contact between Mike Harmon and Michael Annett exiting Turn 4, with damage to the rear bumper of Annett’s No. 1 Pilot Flying J Chevrolet. The contact prompted an intense discussion between the two in the Gasoline Alley garage area. Joe Gibbs Racing swept the top three spots in opening NASCAR Xfinity Series practice. Christopher Bell was fastest at 168.218 in the No. 20 Rheem-Parker Hannifin Toyota. Jones was second at 168.215, followed by Busch at 167.782 mph.
