Spire Motorsports teammates Carson Hocevar and Michael McDowell set the pace for NASCAR Cup Series practice at Phoenix Raceway right at the start of the session, with no one able to beat their fastest laps. Hocevar led the leaderboard at 132.533mph, followed by McDowell at 132.523mph. Tyler Reddick of 23XI Racing was third fastest. The defending race winner at Phoenix, Christopher Bell, is looking to secure their third consecutive Cup Series win after victories at Atlanta Motor Speedway and Circuit of The Americas. Cup Series teams had one 45-minute session due to Goodyear bringing the option tire, with one set available for practice and two for Sunday’s race. Joey Logano, the fall Phoenix race winner, was 11th fastest, while Katherine Legge, making her Cup Series debut, finished 37th out of 37 cars. McDowell also had the best 10 consecutive lap average in practice. Next up is Cup Series single-car qualifying for the Shriners Children’s 500.
