DENVER (Aug. 13, 2004) -- Tommy Kendall set the fastest time in first-round practice Friday for Saturday's Cytomax Sport Drink 100 Motorock Trans-Am race at the Grand Prix of Denver. Kendall (No. 11 Jaguar R Performance XKR) turned the newly re-configured 1.657-mile street circuit in one minute, 13.115 seconds at 81.687 miles per hour. Interestingly, Kendall's time was nearly one mile per hour faster than the qualifying record here, set by Stu Hayner in 2002.
Jorge Diaz, Jr. (No. 8 Puerto Rico Grand Prix Jaguar XKR) was second quickest with a 1:13.701-minute lap, ahead of the No. 64 Eaton Chevrolet Corvette of Johnny Miller. Tomy Drissi (No. 5 Taxi -- The Movie Jaguar XKR) and Randy Ruhlman (No. 49 Preformed Line Products Chevrolet Corvette) completed the top five.
Qualifying is scheduled for 4 p.m. today.

"The track is very, very slippery which I knew it was going to be, said Kendall. "There is something about the composition of the asphalt and the concrete. But it is the same for everyone. It good to start with P1 and know we've got room to improve.
