Tony stewart hospitalized with back injury

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Tony Stewart has been hospitalized with a back injury after an all-terrain vehicle accident, according to a spokesperson from his Stewart-Haas Racing team.


According to the SHR statement, Stewart was hurt in an accident Sunday afternoon while driving an all-terrain vehicle on the West Coast. He was transported to a hospital in an undisclosed location and is able to move all his extremities, according to a team spokesperson.


Stewart-Haas spokesperson Mike Arning indicated that further updates on the three-time champion's condition "will be provided Thursday afternoon when more information is known."


Stewart, 44, is entering his final full season in NASCAR's premier series. Teams are scheduled to arrive next week at Daytona International Speedway for season-opening Speedweeks and the Feb. 13 Sprint Unlimited exhibition (8 p.m. ET, FOX). The first Sprint Cup Series points-paying race of the season, the Daytona 500, is set for Feb. 21 (1 p.m. ET, FOX).


"We have received word from Stewart-Haas Racing of Tony Stewart's accident and injury," said NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France. "On behalf of everyone at NASCAR, I wish Tony a full recovery and look forward to seeing him back in our sport when he's ready to return."

Stewart missed parts of the 2013 and 2014 seasons after racing accidents in sprint-car events. He suffered a severely broken lower right leg in August 2013 after a heavy crash in Oskaloosa, Iowa, and missed the final 15 races of the Sprint Cup season. Stewart also missed three races in 2014 after his involvement in a crash at a New York dirt track that claimed the life of 20-year-old racer Kevin Ward Jr.

Stewart, who co-owns the four-car SHR operation with Gene Haas, announced last September 30 that the 2016 season would be his last in NASCAR's top division. Clint Bowyer, who will drive for HScott Motorsports this season, was named as his successor in the team's No. 14 Chevrolet starting in 2017.

Richard Petty on Danica Patrick: 'She ain't gotten no better or no worse'

Year 5 of Danica Patrick's great foray into NASCAR's Sprint Cup series kicked off at the Daytona 500 and ended same as her previous 118 races: without much of anything to show for it. Following a crash and 35th-place finish Sunday, Patrick now has more than twice as many wrecks (14) in her career as top-10 finishes (six). Not once has she seen a checkered flag from a top-5 position.

None of this is lost on Richard Petty, the greatest racer the sport has known, a seven-time Daytona 500 champion nicknamed The King with good reason. One of royalty's perks, of course, is the ability to reveal one's innermost thoughts without fear of repercussion. And once again Sunday, Petty – one of Patrick's most vocal critics in years past – leveled a harsh assessment of her seeming stagnation as nothing more than a middle-of-the-pack racer.

"She just settled in where she at," Petty told Yahoo Sports. "She ain't gotten no better or no worse."

When asked what she needed to do to win a race, Petty said: "No comment." Which might as well have been him saying: She can't. He has said as much in the past, fending off accusations that he's nothing more than a sexist 78-year-old troglodyte by pointing to her record on the track. And it's damning

Over the last two seasons, when she has run full 36-race slates, Patrick has an average starting position of 22nd and finish of 23rd, according to Racing Reference. Her single greatest accomplishment came when she won the pole of the 2013 Daytona 500, a race in which she lost the lead by the end of the first lap and finished in eighth place. She wrecked here in 2014, finished 21st last year and on Sunday slid through traffic on Lap 184. It took the closest finish in 500 history to redeem a race in which Patrick, wunderkind polesitter Chase Elliott and Dale Earnhardt Jr., the sport's most popular driver, didn't finish.

On Lap 157, Patrick was penalized when a crewmember jumped over the pit-road wall too early. The infraction – a call Patrick deemed close and questionable – set her back a lap and prompted the urgency on which she blamed the crash.

"It put us in a position to be aggressive at the wrong time of the race with cars you don't always want to be aggressive with at the back of the field," Patrick said. "It's just an unfortunate series of events that happened at the end, but I think before that we were having a fairly strong race. I feel like we definitely didn't have the fastest car, but we were able to make good decisions and put ourselves in the right line at the right time and make the most of our situation."

This is the story of Patrick's career: great car and middling racing, mediocre car and great racing, never shall the twain meet. Or at least they haven't, and NASCAR isn't a sport in which late bloomers often emerge. Patrick is now 33, onto a new sponsor after "a half-ass break-up" with her longtime benefactor, GoDaddy, which gave her a platform to build her brand while gaining relevance through the novelty of a female racecar driver.

Which isn't to call Patrick herself a novelty. She drove those 184 laps on Sunday at nearly 200 mph with inches separating her car from others hurtling at the same speed. She competed in IndyCar, won a race and finished third in the Indy 500. She has more fortitude than you, me and every jabroni whose inclination is to criticize her for the temerity of being born with an X chromosome and having her first name end in "ica" instead of being simply "Dan."

Here's the thing: Dan Patrick would be just another mid-tier driver, anonymous to the world, whereas Danica Patrick continues to bring in the sort of fan who stands across from her garage with dreadlocks, Jordan 4s and a vape pen from which he tugged hits every couple of minutes. He wore a No. 10 shirt with the colors of her new sponsor, as did dozens of others who cheered for her after she exited her car and walked from the garage to her trailer.

"It could've just as easily have been running up front and having an accident and saying, 'That's Daytona,' " Patrick said. "Ours just came a little early."

It came in the same fashion as her previous four 500s, as her whole Sprint Cup career, the results disproportionate to the attention paid. Greatness is the only salve for that, and Patrick wants it more than anything, not just because it would silence the Richard Pettys of the world but validate this whole experiment.

Instead, as she walked away from the track Sunday, a roar emanated from the crowd. Denny Hamlin's daring run from fourth for first on the final lap sent the 100,000-person-plus grandstand into a collective conniption. From her spot on the infield, Patrick peered through aviators to sneak a peek at what was causing the commotion. She saw the tops of the cars zoom by, turned around and continued toward the exit, toward the next city, toward a race that perhaps someday she'll finish with all those cars in her rearview.

KEVIN HARVICK SIGNS LONG-TERM DEAL WITH STEWART-HAAS RACING

http://static.nascar.com/content/dam/nascar/articles/2016/5/19/main/Tony-Stewart-Kevin-Harvick.jpg

KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (May 19, 2016) -- Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR), the championship-winning NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team, has signed driver Kevin Harvick to a long-term contract extension.

Harvick joined SHR in 2014 after 13 Sprint Cup seasons and his impact with the organization was immediate. In his debut year with SHR, the Bakersfield, California-native scored eight poles, won five races and led 2,137 laps en route to his first Sprint Cup championship. Harvick's title defense in 2015 was incredibly strong, as he won three races and earned career-best numbers in top-fives (23), top-10s (28) and laps led (2,294) before finishing second in the championship. Harvick already has a win, five top-fives, nine top-10s and 688 laps led in the 12 Sprint Cup races run this season.

"It was a big decision to join Stewart-Haas Racing and it has turned out to be my best decision," said Harvick, who has won nine of his 32 career Sprint Cup victories with SHR. "I came to Stewart-Haas Racing to win championships. We have one, but that only made us hungry for more. I'm very happy to have my future secure with a team so dedicated to winning."

Harvick will continue to drive the team's No. 4 entry and remain paired with crew chief Rodney Childers, who signed a multiyear contract extension last June.

"Kevin's results speak for themselves, and in addition to those numbers, he brings a presence to our team that makes everyone want to work harder," said Tony Stewart, co-owner of SHR with Gene Haas, founder of Haas Automation, the largest CNC machine tool builder in North America. "Kevin Harvick has made Stewart-Haas Racing a better team and he will continue to be an integral part of our future."

Stewart earned SHR its first Sprint Cup championship in 2011, with Harvick bookending that title in 2014. SHR is one of only five active Sprint Cup teams with multiple premiere series titles.

"When you have talented people who consistently deliver results, you hold on to them," Haas said. "Kevin Harvick is an exceptional talent and we're very proud to have him a part of Stewart-Haas Racing for years to come."
