Joey Logano had the fastest speed as Toyota put three cars in the top five during Saturday afternoon’s Happy Hour practice for Sunday’s Kobalt Tools 400 Sprint Cup race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Logano ran a fast lap of 182.970 miles per hour in the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 20.

Logano will be shooting to end a 93-race winless streak in Sunday’s race.

Following in the top five were Mark Martin, Kevin Harvick, Marcos Ambrose and Martin Truex Jr.

Oddly, Martin and Harvick had the same speed – 182.698, as did Ambrose and Truex – 182.618.
