    NOTE 2: Reutimann is not in the #00 car as he is ill with the flu, Aric Almirola is practicing the car, the plan is for Reuitmann to qualify and race the car. Reutimann ran some laps late in the practice
    incidents: #43-Allmendinger got sideways down the backstretch early in practice, didn’t hit anything and no other cars were involved, then late in practice he spun around on the frontstretch, doing a little damage to the right rear.
