Another day, and more news has come out surrounding Tony Stewart’s incident in the sand-dunes.

As announced by Stewart-Haas Racing on Thursday, the three-time Sprint Cup Series Champion will miss the season-opening Daytona 500, as well as possible other events as a result of a burst fracture to the L1 vertebra in his back. Stewart sustained the injury as a result of an accident while driving a dune buggy in the desert just east of San Diego.
