"Rising From The Ashes In Phoenix!"

 

 

Imagine, having a really bad sunburn, and then going to the desert!

Tony Stewart plans on doing just that.

After a crankshaft broke apart, going into turn one last week in Texas, resulting in the #20 Home Depot car becoming engulfed in flames. Before Tony could bail out, he suffered some second degree burns and a lot of first degree burns on the back of his leg.

Borrowing a line from Sam Elliot in the movie "Road House"...That's gotta hurt!

Tony Stewart: "I'm not in near as much pain today as I have been (Monday) and Sunday. But Sunday, I had a lot of discomfort. They gave me a shot while we were at Texas that basically let me sleep the whole flight home and I slept through the night pretty good."

Now comes Phoenix....It's going to be hot in the desert,...but, hey, it's a dry heat, right?

Tony Stewart: "The only thing we're going to have to worry about is the sensitivity to heat. So we're going to have to sit down with the doctor and evaluate that. I'm still planning on running both the Busch and Cup races this weekend. But as far as what we'll do to shield the wounds from the heat, I'm not exactly sure what that's going to entail yet."

Yeah, but you seemed pretty cool gettin'out of the car?

Tony Stewart: "No, I was honestly pretty surprised. I hadn't practiced getting out of the car in a hurry and that's the first time I've ever been on fire. I had to stop for a second and try not to panic because my natural instinct was to panic because I was getting burned."

(pardon the pun)...Tony, you are about the only thing that's been..uh.. HOT... for Joe Gibbs Racing so far this season!

Tony Stewart: "it's just been a little bit of everything this year. We've been off on our aero program some. Obviously we had a motor problem that we haven't had in the past happen this past weekend with the crankshaft breaking. We've had weird things happen that we're not used to. So, I'm not sure what the problem is, but hopefully we'll find it soon to where we can get the issues addressed."
