Tyler Reddick, the regular season champion, set the pace in an extended NASCAR Cup Series practice at Watkins Glen International with a quick time of 72.018 seconds (122.469 mph) in Group A, holding the fastest time for the full 80-minute session due to tire falloff. Following Reddick were Ross Chastain, Kyle Larson, Shane van Gisbergen, and Denny Hamlin in the top five. Road course specialist Reddick, who has won at Road America and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course in 2022, is looking to challenge Hendrick Motorsports’ five-race win streak at The Glen. Austin Cindric topped Group B, with Kyle Busch in 12th, Ty Gibbs in 17th, and Juan Pablo Montoya in 15th with a one-off run for 23XI Racing in the Next Gen car. The practice sessions saw minimal incidents, including Hamlin and Busch spinning without damage, and AJ Allmendinger going off-track at the esses as the session concluded before the upcoming qualifying session.
