On Track - Saturday

Tony Stewart wrecked during the first practice session today @ Pocono. He lost the pole position for tomorrow's race and will have to start in the back in his back-up car.



"I feel like it's better than the primary car," Stewart said."I was happier with that car then I was the first one," Stewart said. "If I'd known the second one was going to be so good, I would have crashed the first one the first lap out."

He was 6th fastest with a lap of 164.817 in his back-up during the second practice session.
