Pure Michigan 400 Practice 1 Results

The opening practice session for the Pure Michigan 400 has concluded at Michigan International Speedway. The 80 minute session was highlighted by the resurgence of Roush-Fenway Racing machines. Roush-Fenway Racing cars had a promising test at Michigan just a few weeks ago and all 3 cars backed up that testing with solid speed in the first practice for the Pure Michigan 400. Carl Edwards held the fastest lap throughout the largest portion of today’s practice with a lap of 204.111mph but was overtaken by Joey Logano in the final minutes of practice with a blistering lap of 204.545mph. Meanwhile teammates Ricky Stenhouse Jr and Greg Biffle posted the 5th and 6th best laps respectively. Historically car owner Jack Roush, Edwards, and Biffle have had a lot of sucess at Michigan International Speedway but it has been the horsepower concerns that have plagued the organization through 2014. Perhaps today’s practice proved that the RFR cars have made improvement in the horsepower department and are capable of contending in this Sunday’s race. Qualifying is scheduled at 4:40pm (EST) today and two practices will be held on Saturday in preparation for Sunday’s Pure Michigan 400.
