Greg Zipadelli, Competition Director, Stewart-Haas Racing discussed #14-Tony Stewarts condition with the media Wednesday morning. A few notes: “¢ There currently is no timeline for Stewarts recovery or return. They will know more after the second surgery is completed; “¢ The team will ‘absolutely” need a substitute driver for at least the next 2-3 races; “¢ They are talking to candidates to fill in, but dont have a timeline for an announcement; possibly in the next day or so; “¢ Zipadelli says that as many races as Tony runs the team is lucky that this is the first time they are having to deal with this issue; “¢ Stewart Haas will evaluate what races Stewart competes in going forward, but there will not necessarily be any changes. “¢ Stewarts sponsors: ‘Theyre all disappointed and we understand that.”
