INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - In a Super Bowl showdown, Tony Stewart's NFL allegiance would lie with the Indianapolis Colts, not with the team coached by his NASCAR boss, Joe Gibbs.

"I told Joe, 'If it's Colts and Redskins, sorry, Joe, I'm wearing blue and white, so you'll have to get over it,'" the two-time Nextel Cup champion said.

Washington is at Seattle in an NFC divisional playoff on Saturday, while Indianapolis is home against Pittsburgh in the AFC on Sunday.

"I'm a pretty die-hard Indiana guy, and everybody knows that, and Joe knows that," said Stewart, who's from nearby Columbus, Ind.

"I hope it gets to that. I hope Joe has a good enough season to get to the Super Bowl," Stewart said. "As long as it's one of those two teams that wins it, I'll be fine. If it comes down to those two particular teams, I'm going to have to stand on the Indiana side, for sure."
