UPDATE: #19-Chad Blount crashed in the morning Friday practice session and then sent his backup car into the inside retaining wall on the front stretch during qualifying. Blount managed to get in one clean lap before the accident. He is 26th on the starting grid but will have to go to the back of the field if the team repairs the primary car instead of the backup.(Dallas Morning News need to register to read), no word on any engine changes.(3-22-2003)
