Note: The fast lap for #6 Jeret Schroeder, 41.261, 218.124, actually was turned by his co-team owner Tony Stewart. Stewart completed 11 laps Tuesday. In his 14 laps, Schroeder's best lap was 41.588, 216.409. A timing-and-scoring transponder wasn't available for Stewart, so his laps were recorded under Schroeder's name.
