NASCAR champ flips car, injures arm
Associated Press

TULSA, Okla. - Reigning NASCAR Nextel Cup champion Tony Stewart
injured his right arm after he flipped his car during a qualifying
race for the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals.

Stewart, a two-time Cup champion, complained of pain in his arm
after Friday night's race at the Tulsa Expo Raceway. He was examined
and treated at a local hospital. A spokesman for Stewart said X-rays
and a CT scan were both negative, but Stewart was fitted with a cast
until a more extensive evaluation can be made by his own doctors.

"I'm a little sore," Stewart said after leaving the hospital Friday
night. "The doctors were great and did a pretty thorough evaluation
of me. They didn't find anything broken, but just to be sure, they
fitted me with a cast that I'll wear until I meet with my doctors on
Monday. It looks a lot worse than it is."

He said the injury won't affect his upcoming test at Las Vegas Motor
Speedway or his plans to compete in the Rolex 24 Hours of Dayton and
Daytona Speed Weeks.

Stewart, a former U.S. Auto Club champion in Midgets, sprint cars
and Silver Crown cars, still races in several short track events
each year for fun.

report. Stewart has been racing there, along with Kahne all week. The only
time you decide to post anything about it
is when there is an injury. You know, the racing is the real news. What
about Kahne's good run last night? No, you dwell on the injuries and post
links to that instead of the racing. I now know that you are truly
pathetic. The racing has been going on since Wednesday, and you post today.
You should be ashamed of yourself. You are a vulture.

brought out. They don't even know about anything other than NASCAR and
don't want to. They throw beer bottles on the track when they don't get
what they want. It is really sad sometimes.

Janal has always said he has never been to a NASCAR race in his life; and I
am sure you saw that idiotic rag that he submits his articles to. He
watches on TV, parrots whatever Mike Joy says; and hopes he can sucker
that shoestring rag into writing him a check for $100. Janal is to
journalism as Pedostalk is to VCR repair.

That was Gordon fans doing the throwing the year before last. I am not
making excuses - it's not all Jeff Gordon fans. And the crashing thing -
that was always a problem that the fringe fans just enjoy the wrecks. Don't
you remember when the bad fire burned Little E? Dan Claymon and his
internet wife Julia almost had multiple orgasms over the event.

Like all those people I saw during one race (don't remember which one) who were
throwing water bottles on the track. Those, to me, are ignorant rednecks.
