Kyle Busch turned the fastest lap at Daytona today

Joe Gibbs Racing's Kyle Busch and Alex Bowman of Tommy Baldwin Racing led Daytona 500 practice sessions three and four respectively today at Daytona International Speedway. The early session was marred by a crash involving Danica Patrick. The driver of the #10 Go Daddy Chevrolet had contact with Denny Hamlin on the backstretch, which sent her into the retaining wall.

Michael Annett was also caught up in the crash. Neither driver returned to the track.

Next up for the Sprint Cup Series will be a practice session at noon tomorrow before the Budweiser Duel at Daytona qualifying races tomorrow evening.
