Tony Stewart hospitalized with back injury

[Chewbaccer]

Apparently he wrecked his 4 wheeler.

Hope he has a speedy recovery. I'm holding out hope that he can find a way to manage a win in his final go round this year.

I'd like to see him get 3 wins: Daytona 500, Darlington and Kentucky. I think if he can accomplish those, he'd feel like his career was complete in NASCAR.

Regardless, I'm hoping for a speedy and full recovery as well and that he at least is competitive this season, unlike the awful showing he put forth last year.

He should just go ahead retire and focus on being a car owner/track promoter. He's not going to help himself racing anymore IMO.

I know you can't avoid life, but sooner or later, Nascar contracts are going to rival NFL contracts, where the drivers can't do anything that risks injury outside of the race track.

I would say that the sponsors would have more say in it than anything. Sponsors aren't going to want to put their logo on a car of a person that does other racing events and keeps getting injured at them.

Time to.lose some weight Tony boy......

Yeah...he's not racing anytime soon. Well, unless he's got a ridiculous pain tolerance and toughs it out instead of opting for surgery.

Dr Jerry Punch says Tony will miss 4 months. I hope he looks at Alex Bowman. Kid can drive l, just needs better equipment to show it.

I thought for sure it was going to be a heart attack.

Yep, I totally agree BPNAZ. He is even going into the stands after fans. Sooner or later, he is going to run into somebody who is packin' and then Stewart will get his wish.

Well, about the time his condition appears again I guess Tony could be ready.

Tough break for that kid, hope he actually does have it solved this year.
