Stewart Friesen Suffers Pelvic Fracture, Right Leg Fracture In Dirt Race

Stewart Friesen, a four-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race winner who captured a win at Michigan International Speedway earlier this year, sustained serious injuries, which will necessitate surgeries, in a multi-car crash on Monday night in a big block modified event at Autodrome Drummond in Drummondville, Quebec, Canada.

According to an update from Jessica Friesen, the wife of the driver, Friesen suffered an unstable/open-book pelvic fracture along with a large hematoma in the area as well as a fractured right leg. Friesen is reportedly in stable condition after receiving additional pain medication and is resting ahead of surgery.

"Most of you know by now, Stewart was involved in a multi-car accident at Autodrome Drummond in Quebec, Canada last night," the Tuesday morning statement from Jessica Friesen began. "CT scans have come back clear of any head, neck, or spine injuries. Unfortunately, he is still in a tremendous amount of pain."

The statement continued, "Stewart has suffered an unstable/open-book pelvic fracture, meaning his pelvis is broken in two or more places, with a large hematoma on the area. Stewart also has a fractured right leg. Both of these injuries will require surgery. Stewart was transferred to a larger hospital this morning for these procedures."

Here is the complete statement from Jessica Friesen, which was shared to Stewart Friesen's social channels on Tuesday morning:
