The trio will again compete with each other and Ryan Blaney hopes to get his first win of the season.

The weather will be a factor on race day with temperatures rising well in the afternoon.

Drivers Kurt Busch and Kevin Harvick have their big target on their back as they have the ability to drive fast at the racetrack.
