Early on in the day, it was clear that tire pressures would be a major talking point. Four drivers, Shane Van Gisbergen, Ty Gibbs, Brad Keselowski and Chase Briscoe, all saw their left rear tires go flat in session one. Zane Smith lost a right rear tire in session two.
Watch for these storylines to continue into Sunday afternoon's main event.
