MADISON, Wis. - NASCAR driver Tony Stewart, who turned 46 Saturday, was briefly stuck in the elevator of a east Madison hotel early Sunday, a fire official said.
Madison Fire spokeswoman Cynthia Schuster said firefighters responded to the Staybridge Suites at 3301 City View Drive at about 12:10 a.m. Sunday on a report of a stuck elevator.
The crew found the elevator stalled on the second floor with people inside. The doors were stuck, but firefighters were able to get them open after about 5 minutes and free the people inside.
"Awesome birthday yesterday with an exciting finish. Stuck in the hotel elevator for 20min until the fire dep saved us. #freakedout," Stewart tweeted Sunday with a photo in front of an elevator with the firefighters.
The fire department said the group had been in the elevator for several minutes before the fire department was called. Schuster said getting stuck in an elevator is considered an emergency and it is appropriate to call 911.
