Jr blows the right rear tire then wrecks , he will use the backup. The tire took the whole rear of the car off.
The trucks race Saturday at 3:30PM ET on Speed, the Sprint Cup cars Sunday at 1PM ET on ABC. The Nationwide is off, next race at Lowe's Oct 10 on ESPN2 at 7:30PM ET.

Yes he does go to the rear because he has to go to a back up car. And qualifying is around noon I belive.
