Terrible.

But not surprising with sprint cars. Those are so dangerous. Can go so fast, one little bump is all it takes.

There was a driver at the track I go to who was severely burned last year in a sprint car.

I like watching the late models - they go around the dirt pretty good

Dirt track races are definitely more fun to watch than anything else.

you pay for your thrills

Stewart has metal rod placed in second surgery

A specialist in North Carolina placed a stabilizing metal rod inside the fractured tibia Thursday, according to a statement from the Stewart-Haas Racing team. The operation was a follow-up to a preliminary surgery Tuesday that stabilized and cleaned the Grade 2 injury, the team said.

Stewart remains hospitalized for observation
