It was an all Chevrolet top eight all told, although the session was largely centred on pit procedures, rather than outright pace.

Andre Heimgartner/Dale Wood (#8 R&J Batteries Camaro), Macauley Jones (#96 Pizza Hut Camaro) and Mark Winterbottom/Michael Caruso (#18 DEWALT Camaro) filled positions six through eight.
