Tony Stewart anxiously awaits update after back surgery

Tony Stewart is waiting as anxiously as anyone for an update on his medical condition.

Stewart was at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Friday and spoke to reporters about the status of his recovery. The three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion suffered a burst fracture of his L1 vertebra in an all-terrain vehicle on Jan. 31. He will have an X-ray in Charlotte, N.C., on Wednesday that will offer insight into his progress. He says it's his first X-ray since he had surgery a few days after his injury. Stewart has not raced this season and has no current timeline for a return.
