Kevin Harvick blistered the field in the final Happy Hour round of practice for tomorrow’s Lucas Oil 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Dover International Speedway.

Harvick was up on the wheel in the No. 2 Tide Chevrolet Silverado out of the Richard Childress Racing stables, lapping the mile concrete high-banked oval at 154.712 miles per hour. Harvick was the only driver to crack the 154 mph barrier.

Points leader Justin Lofton was second fast in the No. 4 CollegeComplete.com Chevrolet. Then it was Ty Dillon in the No. 3 Bass Pro Shops Chevy. Brian Scott was fourth in the No. 18 Shore Lodge Toyota, with Parker Kligerman’s No. 29 Cooper Standard Ram completing the top five.

The second five was Joey Coulter, Nelson Piquet Jr., Miguel Paludo, Max Gresham and Jeb Burton.

SPEED will televise qualifying Friday at 10 a.m. ET from Dover. Race coverage starts at 4:30 p.m. ET with NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Setup.

Lofton comes into the sixth of 22 races on the season with a narrow one-point lead over Timothy Peters, with Dillon third, 16 markers back.

John King, Harvick, Kasey Kahne, James Buescher and Lofton are the previous winners this season.
