Championship 4 driver Joey Logano was fastest in the final Cup practice session for Sunday’s Cup season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway (3 p.m. ET on NBC).

Logano posted a top speed of 171.701 mph to complete a sweep of Saturday’s practice sessions. He was followed in second by fellow Championship 4 driver Martin Truex Jr. (170.584 mph).

“I think we were pretty good,” Logano said. “I am not sure our last run was as good as I wanted it to be but I don’t think it was that bad. We will have to look at some more data to understand it better. The car has speed on the short run and hangs decent on the long run. We just made a couple of 30-lappers or so. We will just be doing some fine tuning from here. No wholesale changes which is good.”

Kyle Busch was 12th fastest (168.587) and Kevin Harvick was 14th (167.931).

“We’ve made some small adjustments to get better for the race and we’re still chasing some speed, but I know they’ll make some good adjustments and be ready for tomorrow,” Busch said.

Busch scraped the wall in the closing minutes of the session.

“They all look like that at some point during the weekend,” said crew chief Adam Stevens. “Better in practice than in the race, but it’s just minor, minor damage. It’s nothing we can’t fix in short order.”

Said Harvick: “Honestly, it’s hasn’t really been that good, so you just have to keep working on it and see if we can make it better for tomorrow.”

The top five was Logano, Truex, Brad Keselowski, Erik Jones and Aric Almirola.

Logano and Denny Hamlin recorded the most laps in the session with 60.

Logano had the best 10-lap average at 165.018 mph.
