Tony Stewart isn't ruling out an Indy 500 run, just not in 2019

INDIANAPOLIS - Tony Stewart has thought about competing in the 2019 Indianapolis 500, but he isn't planning on making a start next May at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

He also isn't giving up on his thoughts about returning to the Indianapolis 500 at some point.

When discussing his future racing plans, Stewart said Aug. 9 that he was interested -- "Everything is a possibility. There's nothing that I've written off and said, 'You know what, I'm never doing it.' ... [Indy 500] is not out of the question."

In an interview Sunday during the Brickyard 400 telecast on NBCSN, the former NASCAR and Indy Racing League champion said he won't do it in 2019.
