Kurt Busch Fastest in Dover Happy Hour (Full Results + Ten-Lap Averages)

Kurt Busch #78 Car

The 78 team has definitely carried their momentum into Dover this weekend because Kurt Busch is fast once again. After posting the 5th-fastest lap in Practice #2 earlier today, Busch went out and ran the quickest lap in Happy Hour, just barely quicker than Matt Kenseth. Once again this practice was pretty un-eventful, but that’s probably a good thing for fantasy racers. The ten-lap average chart can be found below the full speed chart.

Pole Sitter Kenseth Paces Happy Hour At Kansas [Full Results + 10-Lap Averages]

Matt Kenseth #20 Car

All practice sessions are now completed at Kansas Speedway for the weekend and it will be interesting to see how the speeds transfer over to the STP 400 race on Sunday. During the practices on Saturday, the track and was cool along with the air, and it is expected to warm up on Sunday for the race. Teams will probably have to adjust on the changing weather and a wrong adjustment could ruin their day pretty quickly. The ten-lap average chart can be found below the full results chart below.

Texas NRA 500 Practice #2 (Happy Hour) Results and 10-Lap Averages

Marcos Ambrose #9 Car

Track time is nearly complete now at Texas Motor Speedway. The Sprint Cup teams got over 6 hours of testing/practice this week, so if they don’t have the cars zeroed in for the NRA 500 on Saturday night by now, chances are it’s not going to happen. Important notes in this practice session: Kevin Harvick blew an engine about 20 minutes into Happy Hour and will have to start Saturday night’s race from the rear of the field. He will, however, be able to pick his pit stall based on qualifying. The ten-lap average chart can be found below the practice speeds chart.

Martin and Bowyer Fastest In Auto Club 400 Happy Hour [Full Results + Ten-Lap Averages]

Mark Martin #55 Car

This weekend’s final practice session ended with a couple of Michael Waltrip Racing Toyotas on top, as Mark Martin and Clint Bowyer paced the field. They were followed by another Toyota in Matt Kenseth’s #20. Happy Hour was the one practice session that was closest to what Sunday’s track conditions will be closest to, in my opinion, and should hold more weight than other speeds. Nothing major happened during Happy Hour. The ten-lap average chart can be found below the practice speeds chart.

Kyle Busch Paces Bristol Happy Hour [Full Results + Ten-Lap Averages]

Credit: Chris Graythen/Getty Images

Surprise, surprise, Kyle Busch was fast once again in the final practice session of the weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway. Happy Hour was pretty uneventful, and there were minimal surprises. The most unexpected thing that happened was that David Gilliland was able to post a pretty fast lap. He qualified 14th on Friday, so you may want to think of him as a (very deep) sleeper option on Sunday. The ten-lap average chart can be found below the practice speeds chart.

Truex Paces Field In Vegas Happy Hour [Full Results + Ten-Lap Averages]

Martin Truex, Jr. #56 Car

Happy Hour was a little more eventful than the first practice session on Saturday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Within the first couple of minutes, Denny Hamlin spun out coming off of turn 4, although it didn’t appear he had much (if any) damage. After that, the practice was pretty tame. The track conditions during Happy Hour were more like what the race should be like on Sunday, at least when the green flag waves. The ten-lap average chart can be found below the practice speeds chart.

Is Concern Growing At JGR Over Engines?

Kyle Busch Strong In Happy Hour At Phoenix [Full Results + Ten-Lap Averages]

Kyle Busch #18 Car

Denny Hamlin may have had engine problems on Saturday, but his team mate, Kyle Busch, seemed to have one working just fine. In addition to posting the 2nd-fastest lap in Happy Hour, “Rowdy” recorded the best ten-lap average, signifying that his car is pretty fast on the long runs. Mark Martin, this weekend’s pole sitter, only ran 7 laps before calling it quits, posting (once again) the fastest lap in practice #3 at Phoenix. The ten-lap average chart can be found below the practice speeds chart.
