Stewart Friesen returns home as full extent of injuries revealed
Friesen was competing in a Super DIRTcar Series event, driving a Big Block Dirt Modified at Autodrome Drummond in Quebec, Canada, when the accident occurred.
In the latest update provided by his wife, Jessica, she has revealed that Stewart has returned home after being released from the hospital.
"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," an official statement read, thanking the Albany Medical Center and its trauma team for their efforts.

Jessica also revealed more details regarding the injuries he sustained when his car went airborne and was struck by another car upon landing.
"The procedures to reconstruct his shattered pelvis and his right leg tibia and fibula went smoothly," the statement continued. "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."
When the 42-year-old misses this weekend's race at Watkins Glen, it will be the first Truck race without Friesen in the field since Kansas Speedway in the fall of 2020. Friesen willingly skipped that race in order to compete in a Short Track Super Series event at Port Royal Speedway. He has 200 career starts in the Truck Series, including four race wins.

Asking Eric: Friend's erratic driving causes concern
Dear Eric: My friend and I are in our mid-70s. We participate in several activities together — a book club, a continuing education class, et cetera. We often carpool together. I have begun to be very alarmed about my friend's driving habits. She brakes unexpectedly, veers across the center line and seems quite distracted. I'm more and more reluctant to get in a car that she is driving, as I actually think I might be in danger.
