CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The three-time Nascar champion Tony Stewart was hospitalized Tuesday with a back injury, and Stewart-Haas Racing said the team was unsure of the extent of his injuries just a week before he is expected in Daytona Beach, Fla., to prepare for his final season in Sprint Cup.
Stewart, 44, was injured Sunday during an accident while he was riding an all-terrain vehicle somewhere on the West Coast, SHR spokesman said Mike Arning, a spokesman for Stewart-Haas Racing. Stewart was being evaluated at an undisclosed hospital and was able to move all his extremities.
