Greg Zipadelli, competition director for Stewart-Haas Racing, said after the race [at Watkins Glen] that the team would make its decision Monday afternoon on who will drive Stewarts car next weekend at Michigan International Speedway. Zipadelli also said he hoped to have the teams plans for the rest of the year set by Wednesday. Although no timetable has been set for Stewarts return, indications are its unlikely hell race again this season. ‘Some cards are falling by the hour’ Zipadelli said. ‘Well take (Sunday night) and work things out. I want to get with (Stewart), and make sure he agrees and is happy with what were going to do.” Zipadelli said he planned to talk to Stewart either Sunday night or Monday about the choice.( Motor Racing Network )(8-12-2013) UPDATE: As NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Tony Stewart continues to recover from a broken right tibia and fibula suffered in a sprint car crash Aug. 5 at Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa, Stewart-Haas Racing continues to field his #14 Chevy SS in the Sprint Cup Series.
