Tony Stewart will not drive this weekend in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series IRWIN Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Instead, Jeff Burton will once again be behind the wheel of the No. 14 Chevrolet.

Stewart has not raced in the past two Sprint Cup events following the death of Kevin Ward Jr.

This change only pertains to Bristol. Stewart's plans for upcoming Sprint Cup races have yet to be determined, according to a team release.

Stewart-Haas Racing officials said last weekend at Michigan that there is no timetable for Stewart's return to NASCAR racing and that the decision will be the driver's call to make.
