Tony Stewart at DaytonaFor the third week in a row Tony Stewart was involved in a Sprint Car wreck racing in his “off time” and doing what he loves. This time his luck ran out while leading on Monday night at Southern Iowa Speedway when a lap car crashed in front of Smoke and collected his car and two others with 5 laps to go. This time Tony didn’t emerge from his mangled wreckage okay as he had done so many times before, this time he suffered breaks in his lower right leg (tibia and fibula.) He was transported to a local hospital where he had surgery. He’ll of course miss Watkins Glen this weekend, and most likely many races beyond that. We wish Tony Stewart a quick recovery.

NEWTON, Iowa –Brad Keselowski made a busy weekend well worth the trouble.
The defending NASCAR Sprint Cup champion was the lone driver making frequent trips between Central Iowa and Pocono Raceway, where he’ll compete in Sunday’s premier series event.

Keselowski will be toting a gas pump trophy back with him after winning the Fifth Annual NASCAR Nationwide Series U.S. Cellular 250 Saturday night at Iowa Speedway. He has won the last three Nationwide starts he has made for Penske Racing, despite not having a Sprint Cup victory this season.

Keselowski made his move after the third caution of the race, starting seventh with less than 50 laps remaining. As Trevor Bayne and Brian Vickers were battling side-by-side for the lead, Keselowski made his move.
