Cole Custer was fastest in the final Xfinity practice at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Custer led the session with top speed of 123.570 mph.

He was followed by Daniel Hemric (123.182), Brandon Jones (123.118), Ryan Preece (122.968) and Christopher Bell (122.725).

Custer, Hemric, Preece and Bell are this week’s Dash 4 Cash drivers.

Custer had the best 10-lap average at 121.830 mph

There were multiple accidents in the session. Tony Mrakovich, making his Xfinity debut, crashed for the second time today. Bell and Ross Chastain sustained damage trying to avoid him. Neither will go to a backup car.

BJ McLeod brought out the red flag for hitting the wall. Tyler Reddick spun twice in the session.

“I was trying different things in the car to get more speed out of it, just kept finding the edge and crossing it and somehow not wrecking the car, which is a miracle,” Reddick told Fox Sports 1.

With about 10 minutes left, Ryan Reed made contact with the Turn 4 wall and spun.

“It’s ice once you get into the marbles,” Reed told FS1. Reed will not have to go to a backup car.
