TULSA, Okla. -- Tony Stewart, the reigning champion in the Nextel Cup Series, was taken to a local hospital for a preliminary examination after he flipped his Midget car in the opening laps of last night's qualifying race for the 20th annual Chili Bowl Midget Nationals at the Tulsa Expo Raceway.
Complaining of pain in his right arm after the crash, Stewart was taken to the hospital where X-rays revealed no broken bones and a CT scan proved negative.
In a precautionary measure, Stewart was fitted with a cast until a more extensive evaluation can be made by his own doctors on Monday.
"I'm a little sore," said Stewart. "The doctors were great and did a pretty thorough evaluation of me. They didn't find anything broken, but just to be sure, they fitted me with a cast that I'll wear until I meet with my doctors on Monday. It looks a lot worse than it is.
"In no way should this affect my upcoming test at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, my plans to compete in the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona or my participation in Daytona Speedweeks."
Stewart also flipped in a hot laps session on Wednesday night. After the accident, his qualifying race appearance was switched from Wednesday to Friday.

I think I remember hearing somewhere that the promoters of the Chili Bowl don't want the event to be televised. Something about wanting people in the stands instead of staying at home.

Black out the area involved! Or better yet get folks interested in coming by watching it a few times on the tv. If that is there attitude it seems stupid to me.

Not to be too upset. MLB does the same thing.
They black out the local area if the game is NOT a sell out.
