New caliper install

I just installed a new set of calipers on my Cup car. After installation, I bled the brakes as usual, running about 24 ounces of fluid through the system to get all the air bubbles out and tapping on the calipers with a rubber mallet to force out the bubbles. My question is what else, if anything, should I do to make sure all the air is out of the system? I was thinking about maybe running a short session (4-5 laps) to heat things up and doing another bleed. But maybe that's overkill. What do you think?

After major brake work it is hard to get all the bubbles out. Even when you think they are all out, some can remain. Take it easy the first couple of laps. If the pedal feels fine, you are set to go. Otherwise, rebleed.
