Raphael Lessard posted the fastest lap in the opening practice session for the Camping World Truck Series on Friday on the dirt at Bristol Motor Speedway.
The fastest laps were turned in early in the session before the dirt track became slick and speeds slowed.
Lessard (19.384 seconds/92.860 mph) was followed by Carson Hocevar (19.396 seconds/92.803 mph), Hailie Deegan (19.418 seconds/92.698 mph), Chase Briscoe (19.432 seconds/92.631 mph) and Stewart Friesen (19.465 seconds/92.474 mph).
Forty-three of the 44 Trucks entered practiced, including seven Cup drivers: Briscoe, Kyle Larson, Kevin Harvick, Bubba Wallace, Martin Truex Jr., Ryan Newman and Daniel Suarez.
