Taylor Gray paces NASCAR Xfinity Series practice at Las Vegas

One week after he was eliminated from NASCAR Xfinity Series playoff contention at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval, Taylor Gray paced the Xfinity Series field in practice at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday. 

Gray's fastest-lap of 30.557 seconds was enough to top the speed chart.
