TALLADEGA, Ala. -- Tony Stewart qualified 35th Saturday for today’s Amp 500 in 35th. Stewart was swept up in a crash during practice Friday, but his team elected not to go to their backup car. Stewart said his team worked on the car until 8 p.m. on Friday night to get it ready for qualifying.

--(Cont'd From Front Page)-- The crash was triggered by Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s blown tire. Stewart crashed into Kasey Kahne, slid down the track and into the grass. Crew chief Greg Zipadelli decided to repair the primary car instead of moving to a backup, like Earnhardt did.

"They said it wasn't anything mechanical, it was all cosmetic," Stewart said. "We've got a great body shop and we've got a lot of great guys that are more than capable of getting this thing where it needs to be."
