/> Lynch's ride sustained minor damage due to a small scrap in Turn 3. The 28 Chevrolet of Wayne Edwards spun around in the final hour between Turns 1 and 2, but reported no significant damage.

At the end of the day, the No. 2 Chevrolet of Jack Sprague and No. 7 of Andy Lally ran into each other in the garage, causing both teams to do some minor repairs to those entries.

The No. 9 Germain Racing Toyota of Justin Marks was fourth-quickest, followed by the No. 4 Dodge of Stacy Compton, who shook down both of Bobby Hamilton Racing-Virginia's trucks in the morning before teammate Dennis Setzer arrived at noon.

Setzer had been in Hickory N.C., until midnight at the bedside of his 65-year old mother, Tommie Newton, who suffered a stroke Wednesday night during emergency kidney stone surgery.
