According to a press release from Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates, Dario Franchitti will be sitting out the NASCAR Sprint Cup Aaron’s 499 Sunday.  Dario suffered a fractured left ankle during a lap 11 crash in the Nationwide Series, Aaron’s 312 on Saturday after his car blew a right-rear tire.  The search is on to find a substitute driver to sit in for Dario’s 43′d starting spot Tums Dodge for the Sunday Talladega race.

Dario was transported to the infield care center where he was sent on to Physicians Medical Center Carraway in Birmingham, where the slight fracture was further evaluated, treated and released.
