Kyle Petty, still aching, plans to start

FORT WORTH, Texas - Kyle Petty got through NASCAR Winston Cup practice and qualifying Friday, but likely won't get back behind the wheel again at Texas Motor Speedway before Sunday's race.
After hitting a wall at Bristol last week, Petty needed help getting out of his car and was placed on a stretcher. He was treated and released from the hospital, but is still hurting.

"Kyle is pretty sore," said Steve Lane, crew chief of the No. 45 Georgia Pacific Dodge. "As for the race, I'm going to let him make the call. We're going to let Christian Fittipaldi practice the car Saturday."

Petty qualified 28th for the Samsung/RadioShack 500 at 189.620 mph. If Petty is unable to finish Sunday, Fittipaldi - a former Formula One and CART driver - would take over.
 
I hope Kyle will be fine for sunday!! He is a tough guy so I would not be surprised if he ran the whole race but i also would not be shocked if KP pulls in during the first yellow and CF steps on in then!!
I would be 100% shocked if CF starts the car and KP does not race!!!! PLEASE DON"T DO THAT!!
 
Better to sit out then to risk getting hurt even more
 
He's got to be one hurting puppy. I agree with pettyfan. it's better to sit out and get well, than risk a more severe injury. The Petty's have had enough sorrow. I wouldn't want to see Kyle have a career ending complication or worse.
 
I also agree that he sits out today! I just don't want him to sit the race out!! He needs all the points he can get! I hope CF is standing by during the first yellow so KP can get out if he wants.
 
Happy hour covrage just said he has 2 cracked ribs!!! :unsure:
I hope is going to be ok!!
 
I did not catch that part!! Now knowing KP is injured i kinda hope he does sit out. I just hope CF will be able to run decent to try and move the 45 up in points if KP sits out this race. It seems that the 45 is now running better the past couple weeks!
