Fastest Lap Time (Race): ~27.0 seconds (2025 Shriners Children's 500).
Practice Averages (10-15 Laps): Generally in the 29-32 second range, depending on tire wear and fuel load.
Average Speed: The 2025 spring race showed an average speed of roughly 92-100 mph (due to cautions), but green-flag laps are significantly faster, with top speeds exceeding 160 mph.

Wow look how close he came to slow car on left. Then clipped car on right and cut his tire. These series with such difference in class speeds is already dangerous.
