Nationwide - Charlotte - Practice 1 & 2

The two one hour, 20 minute practice sessions on Thursday for the Nationwide Top Gear 300 saw Jason Leffler pip Iowa maiden winner Ricky Stenhouse Jr. for the top speed in the first session, and Stenhouse top the second session ahead of Kevin Harvick.

Matt Kenseth appeared in the #16 replacing Roush Fenway's Trevor Bayne who is still on sick leave.

The session also saw the Nationwide series debut of former F1 world champion Kimi Raikkonen, who finished the two sessions on 16th and 18th place, comfortably among some experienced Nationwide hands despite this being his first outing in a Nationwide car. Raikkonen is guaranteed entry into Saturday's race thanks to the car owner points from Joe Nemechek's NEMCO Motorsports.

Qualifying for the Nationwide race is on Saturday at 10.10am local time, with the race on Saturday afternoon at 2.30pm.
