Darlington Raceway spokeswoman Cathy Mock said Stewart underwent an MRI at approximately 7:30 a.m. on Monday, which proved negative. He was scheduled to test Lakeland, Fla., Tuesday and Wednesday with teammate Bobby Labonte, but will now sit that test out. Labonte, however, will still test.
Mock said Stewart plans to race next weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway.
