Tony Stewart will be returning to his #14 Chevrolet for the Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Georgia on Sunday. Stewart missed the last three races after being involved in a fatal sprint car accident in Canandaigua, New York on August 9, the eve of the Cup race at the Watkins Glen road course. Stewart last raced in a Sprint Cup car on August 3 at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pennsylvania.
With the investigation of the incident complete, some people hope Stewart, a three-time Cup champion, can get his mind back on racing, but others are frustrated that he seemed to get away without any punishments from the sprint car sanctioning body or from NASCAR. Stewart will definitely get a mixed reception when he shows himself to the fans on Sunday evening. He has already been eliminated from the Chase, and this week marks the penultimate regular-season race, so all he can do is get his career as a driver and an owner back up and running. But this point in his career will surely stay with him for the rest of his life.
