NASCAR Cup Series Practice Results: Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott Top Hendrick Team

The sun finally made an appearance on Friday afternoon in Mexico City following some rain delays that pushed back the practice sessions for the NASCAR Cup Series teams. All 37 teams had the opportunity to hit the track in two practice sessions to get a feel for the newest road course on the circuit. The first session offered 50 minutes of track time for all 37 teams, while the second session was shorter at 25 minutes.

In practice one, Kyle Larson was the highest-finishing driver from Hendrick Motorsports, securing the fifth position. In practice two, it was Chase Elliott who led the quartet, grabbing 12th place. These practice sessions helped the teams navigate the 15-turn road course, but there are still plenty of unknowns heading into the weekend with rain in the forecast.

The practice results from both sessions showcased some interesting performances. Names like Michael McDowell, Chase Briscoe, and Ty Gibbs topped the charts, while drivers like Kyle Larson, Joey Logano, and Christopher Bell also put up solid times.

Looking ahead, the NASCAR schedule for the weekend includes Xfinity Series practice and qualifying on Saturday, followed by the Cup Series qualifying on Prime Video.
