After winning Friday's NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Kyle Larson kicked off his Saturday morning by pacing the NASCAR Xfinity Series field in practice.

Larson's fastest lap of 33.137 seconds was good enough for the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion to top the speed chart as he looks for the weekend sweep in south Florida. Larson ran 19 laps in Saturday morning's session, while Brandon Jones ran the most laps (31) of any driver in the session.

Ty Dillon — who filled in for a sick Josh Williams — was second, with Ryan Sieg, Anthony Alfredo and Jeremy Clements rounding out the top-five. Matt DiBenedetto, Jeb Burton, Harrison Burton, Austin Hill and Brennan Poole completing the top-10.

Other notable practice results include Justin Allgaier in 11th, Sheldon Creed in 12th, Connor Zilisch in 17th, Jesse Love in 21st and Corey Heim in 26th.

Xfinity Series qualifying is up next on the CW app, with the Hard Rock Bet 300 going green shortly after 4 p.m. ET. The sixth race of the 2025 Xfinity Series season will be televised on the CW, with radio coverage on MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

Hill is the defending winner of the Xfinity Series race at Homestead.
