The long recovery process from a broken leg suffered in a dirt-track race in August 2013 continues for Tony Stewart. He had a fourth surgery last month, and a fifth – and, he hopes, final – operation is scheduled after the 2015 Sprint Cup season to remove the titanium rod that supports the right leg. “The leg isn’t bad,” he said. “I was out here (working at the track [at the Chili Bowl]) on it for 12 hours Monday and didn’t have a problem. That’s a long day for anybody on their feet. I’m in pain, but I’m walking back and forth, so it’s not terrible. The last surgery wasn’t that bad. I feel better at this time this year than at the same time last year. I’m much further along.”(USA Today)(1-18-2015)
