Tony Stewart says that he’s pretty bruised up, but that didn’t hamper his test session at Phoenix International Raceway earlier this week, nor should it be a factor in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend.
Stewart crashed twice last weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, once in the Nationwide Series race Saturday and again in the Cup race on Sunday. That hard hit left Stewart with a bruised right foot, but he was otherwise uninjured.
“Obviously, I battled through a lot of soreness, but the [right] foot’s just bruised, and I got a lot of bruises everywhere else, but that’s just a part of this deal,” Stewart said of the test session earlier this week. “By the weekend, it’ll be healed, or almost healed, so it’s no different than a normal racing rheumatism, as the doctors call it, and we’ll be just fine.
“We’re race car drivers. We’re tough. It’s no different than anybody else who hit the wall. We’re all probably sore from this weekend, but we’ll all be fine for this weekend, and I’m no different.”
