Here are seven things drivers had to say after Friday's only two practice sessions, leading into today's qualifying at 2:45 p.m. ET on FS1. (Sunday's Toyota/Save Mart 350 will also be on FS1, with coverage beginning at 1:30 p.m. ET).
Elliott wrecked hard in Friday's second and final practice, causing considerable damage to his No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet.
