Bubba Wallace tops abbreviated second Daytona 500 practice
Darrell Wallace Jr., who finished second in last year’s Daytona 500, was fastest in Saturday’s second rain-shortened practice session.
Wallace’s average lap speed at 195.020 mph topped the second practice session, which was called after rain brought it to a halt just over 23 minutes into the session.
Ty Dillon ended up second-fastest (195.008 mph) and David Ragan third (194.940 mph). Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Paul Menard completed the top-five.
Rounding out the Top 10 were Michael McDowell, Martin Truex Jr., Alex Bowman, William Byron and Chase Elliott.
Once again, the top speed in the session came from a group of cars in a draft.
There were no incidents in the session before it was halted.
