Ty Gibbs, a driver not in the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs, led the way in Saturday's practice session for the Enjoy Illinois 300 at World Wide Technology Raceway. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver was the only car to dip into the 32-second bracket.

NASCAR Playoffs driver Kyle Larson was ranked second in the session, with Brad Keselowski, Carson Hocevar, and Todd Gilliland inside the top-five. Cole Custer, Michael McDowell, Zane Smith, John Hunter Nemechek, and Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. were inside the top-10.

Many of the drivers in the second group were slower than those in the first group due to weather and track conditions. Qualifying, which will immediately follow the practice session, will likely even out that indifference.

Playoff Drivers were: 12th (Ryan Blaney), 13th (Chase Briscoe), 16th (Chase Elliott), 17th (Denny Hamlin), 18th (Christopher Bell), 19th (Bubba Wallace), 21st (Josh Berry), 22nd (Tyler Reddick), 23rd (Joey Logano), 24th (William Byron), 25th (Alex Bowman), 27th (Austin Cindric), 31st (Ross Chastain), 33rd (Shane van Gisbergen), and 36th (Austin Dillon).
