Earnhardt Ganassi Racing driver Martin Truex Jr. was admitted to and released from an Atlanta area hospital Saturday for what a team official called a “small kidney stone.”

The driver of the No. 1 Chevrolet driver is expected to race today. When asked if there was a chance he would not, the team official said, “No.”

Truex complained of pain during practice. He was 13th fastest during the Sprint Cup series’ second practice on Saturday and 15th fastest in happy hour. He will start today’s race 23rd after qualifying at 184.107 mph.

“He was complaining of discomfort and pain during practice,” NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp said. “They had him checked out and that’s what it is. They’re trying to pass the stone.”
