The GMS Racing Chevrolet Silverados of Kaz Grala (30.437/177.416) and defending series champion Johnny Sauter (30.454/177.317) were third and fourth, respectively, followed by Ben Rhodes’ ThorSport Toyota.

John Hunter Nemechek, Ryan Truex, Noah Gragson, Chase Briscoe and Grant Enfinger capped off the top 10.

Briscoe was the fastest Ford in ninth, while his teammate Austin Cindric landed 11th in final practice.

2014 Kansas Truck winner Kyle Busch was 12th-fastest in preparation for his second series start of the year.
