Chase Elliott had the third fastest time with a lap at 184.021 mph in the No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, followed by Kyle Larson in the No. 42 Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet (183.908 mph) and Ryan Blaney in the No. 12 Team Penske Ford (183.861 mph).
Practice was delayed for roughly 10 minutes as crews worked to dry the track after early morning showers passed through the Fontana, California, area.
The No. 51 Rick Ware Racing team of Timmy Hill served a 15-minute practice hold in the second session after arriving late to Friday’s qualifying inspection.
Final practice for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series begins at 3:30 p.m. ET on FS1.
