The Cup schedule will begin with pit road exit and entry practice. Drivers will then practice on the .625-mile paved track.
Those with secure spots in the All-Star Race will close out the Friday schedule with the return of the pit crew challenge qualifying session that determines the pole winner of Heat Race 1 and the All-Star Race.
