Stewart Won’t Try Double

Tony Stewart made his double-duty plans official Monday, saying he will not drive in the Indianapolis 500.

Stewart, a former Indy Racing League champion, will compete only in the Coca-Cola 600 and not make a third attempt at the grueling 1,100 miles of racing.

He cited his desire to win the Winston Cup championship this year and his shot at a $1-million bonus if he wins the 600, for not entering the Indy 500.

“Running Indy again is something I’ve put a lot of thought into, but when it came right down to it, the long-term goal of winning the Winston Cup championship won out,” Stewart said.

Stewart is 12th in the Winston Cup standings, 204 behind leader Sterling Marlin.
