(KANNAPOLIS, N.C.) - Tony Stewart will miss the start of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series according to Stewart-Haas Racing.
In a press release from the team it states that Stewart underwent surgery Wednesday for a burst fracture of his L1 vertebrae after an ATV accident on Sunday.
"The subsequent recovery period means Stewart will miss the beginning of the Sprint Cup season. A timetable for Stewart's return has not been determined, but he is expected to make a full recovery and return to the No. 14 Chevrolet in 2016. Plans for an interim driver have not yet been finalized."
