• Ryan Blaney cut a front left tire in the middle of the second practice group. Amazon Prime analysts Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Steve Letarte determined he may have hit a piece of debris and there may also be an issue with the No. 12 car’s diffuser.

• Tyler Reddick also had a left rear tire issue toward the end of the second group. Steve Letarte said the combination of downforce and a new tire compound from Goodyear for the left side tires at Michigan are the cause.
