(Bristol, TN) - In NASCAR, Stewart-Haas Racing officials announced Monday that Tony Stewart will miss the rest of the Sprint Cup season because of a broken leg.
The three-time champion is expected to make a full recovery from a sprint car accident on August 5th and return for preseason testing in January of 2014.
Two drivers will navigate Stewart's number-14 Chevrolet over the remainder of the season.
