Kyle Busch: Fast Xfinity Practice at ISM Raceway

Busch was fastest in opening practice for the iK9 Service Dog 200 Xfinity Series race at ISM Raceway Friday afternoon. He turned a fast lap of 131.921 mph.

Analysis:

The driver of the No. 18 Toyota led a one-two punch for Joe Gibbs Racing at the Phoenix oval Friday. Busch and his teammate, Christopher Bell, topped the scoring pylon at the end of the first practice session. The JGR duo was followed by a pair of Fords, Cole Custer and Austin Cindric, with the top lap times. Busch is coming off an impressive and dominant victory this past week at Las Vegas. He'll be tough to beat in Saturday's race at Phoenix.
