With a lap of 46.558 seconds, 2012 NASCAR Cup Series champion Brad Keselowski topped the speed charts in Saturday's final practice session for the 67th Daytona 500.
Only 24 cars chose to participate in the practice session, with 17 teams opting to sit in the garage. The practice provided drivers with ample opportunity to practice pit road entry and exit, which could be crucial in Sunday's race.
Alex Bowman, Cole Custer, Justin Allgaier and Kyle Larson rounded out the top-five in the session, with Corey LaJoie, Ryan Preece, Justin Haley, Chris Buescher and Zane Smith completing the top-10.
Other notable drivers include Ryan Blaney in 11th, Joey Logano in 12th, Helio Castroneves in 20th, Jimmie Johnson in 22nd and William Byron in 23rd. Cody Ware was the slowest car on the charts in 24th, clocking in with a lap of 49.797 seconds around the 2.5 mile tri-oval.
Chase Briscoe and 2022 Daytona 500 winner Austin Cindric will lead the field to green on Sunday. The Daytona 500 will go green shortly after 1:30 p.m. ET, with coverage on FOX, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. Pre-race coverage will begin on FOX at 11:30 a.m. ET.
