Joey Logano – who has started on the front row in the first three races of the 2024 season – edged Denny Hamlin to lead Friday’s NASCAR Cup practice session at Phoenix Raceway.
Logano, in his No. 22 Team Penske Ford, topped the speed chart with an average lap speed of 131.166 mph with Hamlin’s No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota just behind him at 131.080 mph. Fords have won the first three poles of the season with Logano claiming two of them – the Daytona 500 and last weekend at Las Vegas. Toyota driver Tyler Reddick ended up third quick but ended up spinning out with about three minutes left in the session and flat spotting the tires.
Cup cars are utilizing a simplified diffuser as well as 2023 short track/road course splitter stuffers, removal of engine panel strakes, a 3-inch spoiler and simplified diffuser strakes. Completing the top-10 speeds were Erik Jones, Chase Elliott – the top Chevrolet – Christopher Bell, Bubba Wallace and Carson Hocevar. About 21 minutes into the session, Daniel Hemric spun around in Turns 3 and 4 and tagged the wall with his No. 31 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet.
