Kevin Harvick in the No. 4 Jimmy John’s Ford Mustang was the fastest in the second Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series practice session at Auto Club Speedway.
Harvick was joined by some usual suspects atop the leader board as Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski and Martin Truex Jr. followed. Daniel Hemric was a surprise name in fifth. Polesitter Austin Dillon was ninth fastest.
The Auto Club 400 will take place at 3:30 pm ET on Sunday. Fox and the Fox Sports App will have viewing options while MRN has the radio.
