The final practice session for the Daytona 500 has concluded with two-time winner Dale Earnhardt Jr. finishing with the fastest speed.
Earnhardt told Fox Sports 1 his speed of 197.131 mph is a result of getting caught up in a draft despite trying to make a single-car run.
Earnhardt was followed by the three Team Penske affiliated cars in Joey Logano (196.369), Ryan Blaney (196.288) and Brad Keselowski (196.262) mph.
The fifth-fastest driver was Kurt Busch (196.061 mph). Fifteen teams did not see the track in the 90-minute session.
