Tony Stewart suffered a broken leg, in a sprint cup race, in Iowa, on Monday evening. He will miss, at least the next Sprint Cup race, possibly more. A replacement driver has not been named for the race, at Watkins Glen, as of now. Here is a link to the article:

Surgery and a compound fracture? He may be out for the year. Who knows though, these guys will do anything to run if they can including starting and running a lap before giving way to a relief driver. I guess it will depend on how fast they think he can heal. Anyway, best of luck to a speedy recovery.

I think Max Papis won the lottery in a sense...to get in a top flight car isn't the luck of most ringers...

He shook the car down for them at Road Atlanta recently, so it's really no surprise. He'd better do good, I included him in my pick 'em! ;)

Max has been really active, with both the Hendrick and RCR organizations. Testing cars, driver coach of Austin and Ty Dillon, just to name a few thigns. I'm not surprised that he got the call to run Stewart's car. Hope he does well. Max is the kind of guy that you can't help but like and can't help but want him to do well. :D

Lets start a pool on how much weight Smoke will gain before he is able to start racing again.

Actually at his first press conference since the accident, it looks like he's lost a little weight. (At least his face seems thinner to me) Of course that will happen when you're around doctors and rehab people 12 hours a day. It's much more difficult to sneak off and scarff down a half gallon of ice cream. :p

Also,for some reason, soda cookies are frowned upon. :crazy:
