Smith turned a lap at 15.811 seconds/113.845 miles per hour to lead the way in the incident-free 90-minute session.

Ty Gibbs (No. 18 Monster Energy/ORCA Coolers/Terrible Herbst/Advance Auto Parts Toyota), grandson of legendary NFL coach and NASCAR team owner Joe Gibbs, was second quick, just nine one-thousandths of a second behind Smith’s pace. Gibbs turned a fast lap at 15.820 seconds/113.780 miles per hour.
