Tony Stewart Racing driver Tracy Hines continues to recover from injuries sustained in an off-road motorcycle accident that occurred Monday evening near his home in Indiana. Hines remains in stable condition at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured pelvis, fractured left femur and a dislocated right knee.

The 35-year-old from New Castle, Ind., is scheduled to be released from Methodist Hospital on Friday. After intensive rehabilitation, Hines will return to Methodist Hospital in two to three weeks for reconstructive knee surgery, which will be performed by Dr. Joseph Baele, an orthopedic surgeon.

In Hines’ absence, Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) has named 19-year-old Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., as the interim driver of the No. 21 TSR Chevrolet/Maxim in the U. S. Auto Club (USAC) National Sprint and Midget Car Series, and the No. 22 TSR/Chevrolet/Maxim in the USAC National Silver Crown Series. Stenhouse, Jr., will assume driving duties effective immediately, as the team travels to Iowa Speedway in Newton for Saturday’s USAC National Sprint and Midget Car Series event at the 7/8-mile oval.
