NASCAR Cup Series practice results: Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott lead Hendrick Motorsports in Mexico

MEXICO CITY -  The sun broke through the clouds on Friday afternoon after rain moved both practice sessions back a few hours.

All 37 Cup teams were greeted with two full-field practice sessions to help the teams figure out the newest road course on the circuit. The first session allowed 50 minutes of track time for all 37 teams while the second session was half the length at 25 minutes.

Kyle Larson was the highest finishing Hendrick Motorsports driver in practice one, setting a time good enough for fifth. Chase Elliott was top of the board for the quartet in practice two in 12th position.

While both practice sessions helped the teams figure out the 15-turn road course, many unknowns still surround the race weekend. With rain looming just around the corner, anything can happen in tomorrow's qualifying session and Sunday's race.
