NASCAR News: Stewart Friesen injured in wreck in Canada

Friesen’s wife, Jess, provides this latest update:

We are thrilled to be reunited at home, as Stewart has been released from the hospital. It has been a long 9 days for our family. Stewart continues to be in pain as he recovers, but we are very happy to have him at home to recoup before we start the physical therapy process.

We are thankful to the team at Albany Medical Center, especially the trauma team, for their incredible work. The procedures to reconstruct his shattered pelvis and his right leg tibia and fibula went smoothly. He has some extra plates, screws, rods, and pins as well as a fractured C7 and fractured left hip, but we are thankful to finally be on the other side of these injuries and on the road to recovery!

We also want to thank the race fans for their continued support. Your purchases of racing merchandise at One Zee Tees has been astounding, and we cannot thank you enough.

We will provide updates as Stewart continues his recovery and look forward to seeing you all back at the track!
