POCONO, Pa.
Déjà vu!
Yes, just a day after earning the pole for Sunday's Pennsylvania 500, via rain, NASCAR tour leader Tony Stewart crashed in Saturday practice, on his second lap on the 2.5-mile track, and will have to go to a backup car and start the race from the back of the pack.
That's the same scenario he went through here at Pocono Raceway seven weeks ago….when he followed up all that with an amazing charge to victory on Sunday.
This time?
"I just screwed up," Stewart said. "I got in too deep, and got loose, and couldn't save it."
And Sunday?
"I know we can do it," Stewart insisted, slowly adding "I tore up a really good race car."
