After a bizarre qualifying session on Saturday evening, Roush Fenway Racing driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. failed to qualify for Sunday’s Cup race at Talladega Superspeedway.

Later in the night, Stenhouse posted this on Twitter:

It reads:

What a qualifying session or whatever you want to call that. Obviously didn’t turn out the way we wanted it to or expected. Grew up racing & there was always a chance of not making the race, just don’t think about half the chase drivers needing provisionals too. I missed races throughout the years & man is it tough to watch the A main. Tomorrow will be no different watching the race. It sucks but we will put our heads down and dig on. Guys on the 17 are tough & never give up on working hard, it’s just part of racing. What doesn’t kill you make you stronger.
