What’s Happening?

NASCAR Truck Series regular Stewart Friesen suffered multiple injuries and will require surgery following a fiery dirt modified crash Monday night.

  • Following his crash on Monday night, Friesen’s X account posted that the 41-year-old driver has a broken pelvis and right leg. The post also states that CT scans came back negative for head, neck, and spine injuries, though he will require surgery for both of his fractures.
  • During the race at Autodrome Drummond in Drummond, Quebec, Canada, Friesen’s car caught a tire barrier and went airborne on entry to turns three and four. His car rolled down the retaining wall before reentering the track and colliding with other cars.
  • Shortly after the accident, the Super DIRTcar Series, the series Friesen was racing in, claimed that the other drivers involved were okay.
  • As of press time, Friesen is locked into the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series playoffs with a win at Michigan earlier this season. While there is no clear timetable for a return, if Friesen recovers in time for the playoffs, which kick off on Aug. 30 at Darlington Raceway, NASCAR does supply drivers with medical waivers.
