Kurt Busch Fastest in Second Practice at Phoenix

Kurt Busch topped the chart in the second Sprint Cup Series practice. The driver of the No. 41 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet was the fastest in the second practice session with a time of 26.194 and a speed of 137.436 mph.

Kevin Harvick was second in his No. 4 SHR Chevrolet with a time of 26.338 and a speed of 136.685 mph while Carl Edwards was third in his No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota with a time of 26.375 and a speed of 136.493 mph. Martin Truex Jr. was fourth in his No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota with a time of 26.395 and a speed of 136.389 mph as Chase Elliott rounded out the top-five in his No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet with a time of 26.397 and a speed of 136.379 mph.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was sixth in his No. 88 HMS Chevrolet, teammate Kasey Kahne was seventh in his No. 5 Chevrolet and A. J. Allmendinger was eighth in his No. 47 JTG Daugherty Racing Chevrolet. Joey Logano was ninth in his No. 22 Team Penske Ford followed by Ricky Stenhouse Jr. who rounded out the top-10 in his No. 17 Roush Fenway Racing Ford.

Michael Annett’s No. 46 HScott Motorsports Chevrolet slammed the wall hard in Turn 2 during practice after suffering a front-end lockup.

“Definitely got down there and the car just didn’t want to turn,” Annett said. “I don’t know if we were on the splitter or if we cut down a right-front (tire). … I cranked on the wheel and it wouldn’t go straight.”

The damage was so severe that he had to roll out his backup car. Because the change took place after qualifying, he’ll start from the rear of the field in tomorrow’s Good Sam 500.

The Sprint Cup Series cars will be back on track for final practice this afternoon at 1:00.

I've followed NASCAR for well over 20 years of my life, both as a fan and now as a member of the media. As of 2024, I'm on my ninth season as a traveling NASCAR beat writer. For all its flaws and dumb moments, NASCAR at its best produces some of the best action you'll ever see in the sport of auto racing. Case in point: Kyle Larson's threading the needle pass at Darlington Raceway on May 9, 2021. On used-up tires, racing on a worn surface and an aero package that put his car on the razor's edge of control, Larson demonstrated why he's a generational talent. Those are the stories I want to capture and break down. In addition to NASCAR, I also follow IndyCar and Formula 1. As a native of Knoxville, Tennessee, and a graduate of the University of Tennessee, I'm a diehard Tennessee Volunteers fan (especially in regards to Tennessee football). If covering NASCAR doesn't kill me, down the road, watching Tennessee football will. I'm also a diehard fan of the Atlanta Braves, and I lived long enough to see them win a World Series for the first time since 1995 (when I was just a year old). I've also sworn my fan allegiance to the Nashville Predators, though that's not paid out as much as the Braves. Furthermore, as a massive sports dork, I follow the NFL on a weekly basis. Though it's more out of an obligation than genuine passion (for sports dorks, following the NFL is basically an unwritten rule). Outside of sports, I'm a major cinema buff and a weeb. My favorite film is "Blazing Saddles" and my favorite anime is "Black Lagoon."
