ORIGINAL POST: Matt Tifft was taken to the infield care center at Martinsville Speedway on Saturday morning. He was then taken to the hospital by ambulance.
There is no word on his condition or what has happened. However, the team says Tifft will not be in the car Saturday. Matt Crafton will take his place.
Matt Crafton, a Ford driver, will practice for Tifft today. Tifft was taken to the hospital (he was loaded on a stretcher into an ambulance, no word on what happened). #nascar pic.twitter.com/Qb3XHCnuj6
