Tony Stewart hospitalized with back injury after ATV accident
Tony Stewart, born May 20, 1971, in
Columbus, Ind., is a three time NASCAR Cup Series champion (2002, '05,
11), the 1997 Indy Racing League (IndyCar) champion and the 1995 USAC
Triple Crown champion.
Tony Stewart has been hospitalized with a back injury sustained
while driving an all-terrain vehicle on the West Coast, team spokesman
Mike Arning told USA TODAY Sports in an email.
Stewart's team released a statement Tuesday that indicated the three-time NASCAR champion was injured in a non-racing accident.
Stewart-Haas
Racing said Stewart was transported to a local hospital following the
accident and is awake and alert. However, the exact location of the
accident was not disclosed.
Stewart, 44, is able to move all extremities, the team said.
Arning said another update will not be issued until Thursday afternoon when more information about Stewart's injury is known.
The co-owner of SHR and driver of the No. 14 car is retiring from NASCAR after this season.
Drivers
are expected to start preparing for NASCAR's biggest event - the
Daytona 500 - next week when SpeedWeeks kicks off with the Sprint
Unlimited on Feb. 13. Stewart is qualified to drive in that exhibition
as a past winner. The Daytona 500 pole will be decided the next day,
with the race Feb. 21.
Stewart has not won a Daytona 500 in his decorated 17-year career, one of the few superlatives missing from his resume.
During a preseason media tour in Charlotte last month, Stewart expressed hope for how his final Cup season might unfold.
"The
biggest thing is we want to have fun this year," Stewart told
reporters. "My performance hasn't been on par the last two years. If we
can just make improvements this year, I think we're going to consider
that a great season."
A year later, Stewart struck and killed driver Kevin Ward Jr. during a sprint car race in upstate New York after Ward Jr. had spun out and walked angrily down the track toward Stewart. Stewart sat out three races following Ward Jr.'s death. Following an investigation, Stewart was not charged with any wrongdoing but is facing a wrongful death lawsuit brought by Ward Jr.'s family.
Meanwhile, Stewart's results have declined dramatically on the track. He won at least one race in the first 15 years of his career but is now winless in the last two. He suffered through the worst season of his career in 2015 with only three top-10 finishes and had career lows in several other major categories.
Last September, Stewart announced 2016 would be his final NASCAR season. He was set to enter the season with a new crew chief (Mike Bugarewicz) and a fresh start, although his back injury may now threaten his farewell tour depending on its severity.

The 10 Most Electrifyin' Moments From Fox's Musical Production
Peachy keen, jelly bean! Since Fox announced plans to remake the classic musical two years ago, Grease has been the word that everybody’s heard. Finally, on Sunday, January 31, Grease: Live arrived.
Viewers
were clearly impressed with the results, as screams from the lucky fans
watching on-set were sometimes as loud as the music! So, what made the
three-hour production the living end? Well, let us tell you about its 10
most memorable moments, stud!
Vanessa Hudgens Razzled and Dazzled as Rizzo
This
star gets her own entry on the list because, not only did she totally
nail her performance, but she did it just one day after her father's death from cancer. Starring as the hard-as-nails Rizzo, Vanessa Hudgens,
27, created a character who was bold and unflinchingly fierce while
still showing some vulnerability, which was pretty fitting, considering.
In fact, it wouldn't be surprised if a proud tear or two made their way down the face of the original 1978 film's Rizzo, Stockard Channing, particularly during the Spring Breakers actress' powerful performance of the beloved ballad, “There Are Worse Things I Could Do.”
Every Character Was a Star
Hudgens
wasn’t the only standout in the show, of course; the whole cast was
full of talented actors who made their characters unforgettable.
Dancing with the Stars judge Julianne Hough took on the role of Sandy, while Broadway veteran Aaron Tveit tackled Danny, and they went together like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong! Keke Palmer’s melodramatic Marty arguably made her the breakout performer, while Carly Rae Jepsen's syrupy-sweet take on Frenchy was super fun. Patty Simcox (Elle McLemore) was delightfully manic and only got more unhinged as the production progressed. Mrs. Murdock — played by Eve Plumb of Brady Bunch fame! — had a history in prison and a convent. What a crew!
The Music Was Systematic, Hydromatic, Ultramatic ... It Coasted Through the Heat Lap Trial and Beyond
The musical performances were the most, to say the least, starting with Jessie J’s
killer rendition of the original film’s opening number, “Grease,” as
dancers holding umbrellas twirled around her trying not to get drenched
in the rain. The first morning announcement was also surprisingly fun:
From the choir member in a neck brace straining to sing, to Principal
McGee (Ana Gasteyer) and her assistant Blanche (Haneefah Wood) belting some very impressive runs, they were better than any morning announcement we ever got in high school!
While everyone will be
talking about “There Are Worse Things I Could Do” and “Greased
Lightnin’” for a while, “Those Magic Changes” deserves a special
mention, too, because the harmonies sung by newcomer Jordan Fisher (Doody) and Tveit were one of the best parts of the show.
The Jokes Got Kinda Meta
The music was great, but so was the writing by Jonathan Tolins and Robert Cary,
who expanded on the original writers’ wit. From Frenchy exclaiming, “We
girls gotta be our own people, like they tell us in home ec!” to one of
the Pink Ladies swooning that Sandy’s mystery boyfriend sounded like
“marriage material — like Rock Hudson!”
Tolins and Cary
wove in jokes that relied on the audience’s contextual knowledge of pop
culture history. They even poked fun at themselves, writing in the
lines, “You know TV — they’ll do any cheap stunt to get people to
watch!” and “I wish we could watch a movie at home, any time we wanted!”
Intolerance Got a Sandy-Level Makeover
The
jokes weren’t the only bits of dialogue to get a makeover. Some of the
lines that were acceptable when the movie came out in the 1970s,
wouldn’t fly with modern first-time audiences, and the writers
commendably opted to be a little more tolerant this time around. For
instance, the line during the dance competition declaring that same-sex
couples were banned, was cut in favor of one outlawing “solos and
threesomes.”
Similarly, a line about Jan (Kether Donohue)
being fat was replaced with a jab about her being “weird.” Progress!
Some changes, like Sandy being from Salt Lake City instead of Australia,
were made just to set this version apart (though that was also a nod to
Hough’s real-life Utah upbringing).
The Dancers Were Born to Hand Jive, Baby
Like Vince Fontaine (Mario Lopez)
said, “It doesn’t matter if you win or lose; it’s what you do with your
dancin’ shoes!” and did the cast ever win with theirs. “Summer Nights’”
had fun choreography that drew heavily on the original moves
popularized by John Travolta.
The cheerleading try-outs
were a cool new addition that kept the audience totally on edge, and fan
favorite “Grease Lightnin’” had some of the most intense dancing, and
got the loudest screams from the audience. Finally, as expected, the
competition for National Bandstand was a scene of nonstop action that likely made viewers feel breathless.
“Freddy, My Love” Was Lovely
One
song that stood out as a huge winner for the night is “Freddy, My Love"
because the cast, designers and writers all made something out of an
otherwise-unremarkable tune, with Palmer leading the way.
In an awesome twist that
the set and costume designers deserve endless credit for, the simple
scene that usually takes place in Frenchy’s bedroom moved to a
military-themed runway while she strutted around in a sequined red dress
and proved she came to play in the big leagues occupied by Hough and
Hudgens.
The Modern Sets Looked Perfectly Vintage
Thanks to Us Weekly's exclusive interview with the stars of Grease: Live,
we already knew that the set was going to be huge and intricate, but it
didn’t fully make sense until the show aired, and we got to see it on
screen. The filming took place across three sound stages, so the cast
and crew spent their time running back and forth between them, but never
sounded out of breath!
Not only was the scope of the sets
impressive, but the design was, too. As evidenced by Frency’s bedroom,
even locations that were the setting of just one scene were given plenty
of details, like posters on the walls, clothes on the floor and makeup
on the vanity.
Pardon Our French: Jepsen and Didi Conn Were Damn Good
By
far one of the best scenes arrived with Didi Conn, the original
Frenchy, arriving to play beloved waitress Vi. When she and Jepsen
shared the stage, it was magic, especially following reports that Conn
sent Jepsen her original Frenchy jacket and locket before the
production. The importance of the two Frenchies wasn’t lost on fans:
