KYLE PETTY (No. 45 Georgia Pacific Dodge Intrepid)
NOTE: Christian Fittipaldi practiced the No. 45 Georgia Pacific Dodge Saturday morning. Petty said he will decide Sunday morning if he'll drive Sunday or turn it over to Fittipaldi.
"If I can get out of bed Sunday morning quick, I'll know it's time to go. If I get out of bed slow, I'll know it ain't going to be the time. I got out of the bed real slow this morning.
"Christian is running the car today. I was hurting real bad yesterday. He'll run today, and if I don't feel like running tomorrow, he'll run tomorrow. That's how simple it is. I wouldn't have wanted to, but I could have raced today. I'm trying to look down the road. You've got Talladega and then you've got Martinsville. If you've got to give up a race to get healed up, this might be it. Christian will do good here. Christian could do good at Talladega. I think Martinsville would be a struggle for him because he's never been to a place like that, ever. That's not a knock on him or anything, but he didn't grow up running half-mile dirt rings. That's a little bit different, so I've got to be ready by the time we get to Martinsville.
