NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Tony Stewart was released from the hospital Wednesday following surgery on his right leg and will attend NASCAR's Champion's Week festivities in Las Vegas later this week.
The planned surgery was to replace a rod in Stewart's right leg -- routine follow-up for a severely broken right tibia and fibula suffered in a sprint car racing accident in August 2013.
It's the fourth surgery since the accident and Stewart told NASCAR.com last month that there would be one more in the future.
The co-owner of the Stewart-Haas Racing team missed the remaining 15 races of the 2013 season recovering.
Stewart will be attending the Myers Brothers Luncheon on Thursday and the formal Sprint Cup Series Awards banquet on Friday evening to celebrate his Stewart-Haas Racing driver Kevin Harvick's first Sprint Cup championship -- the second for SHR in the last four years.
Co-owner Gene Haas will be sitting on stage at the head table with Harvick with Stewart -- on crutches -- in the audience.
