Tony Stewart Lends Plane To Justin Wilson's Family Members After Accident
Tony Stewart Lends Plane To Justin Wilson's Family Members After Accident-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:39

NASCAR driver and team co-owner Tony Stewart came forth with an incredible act of kindness after Justin Wilson’s yesterday. Stewart lent his private plane to reunite Wilson’s family in Pennsylvania, where Wilson remains in intensive care after being struck in the head by a loose nosecone.

According to the , IndyCar was able to transport Justin’s wife Julia from the family’s home in Colorado, but younger brother and fellow open-wheel racer Stefan Wilson was on his own if he wanted to be by Justin’s side in the hospital in Pennsylvania.

That’s when Tony Stewart stepped in and lent the use of his plane to get Stefan by Justin’s side. Stefan was able to make the flight from his home in Indianapolis to join the rest of the Wilson family.

notes that this isn’t the first time Stewart has lent his plane to other racers’ families in a time of need. He tends to quietly do so without much fanfare, but the multitude of tweets from other IndyCar drivers thanking him outed his good deed this time.

Per the last released on Justin Wilson’s condition, Wilson remains in a coma in critical condition at Lehigh Valley Health Network Cedar Crest Hospital.

Driver Justin Wilson was airlifted to a hospital during IndyCar’s race at Pocono Raceway today…

The Audi Quattro Wasn't Invincible
The Audi Quattro Wasn't Invincible
The original was a revolutionary car, instantly defeating all of the establishment of the rallying world and instantly resetting everyone’s watch to all-wheel drive.

I Have a New Favorite Porsche
My automotive internet seems to have been slightly obsessed with builds as of late, in which people struggle to put together their ultimate dream car. That’s fine, sure, but what’s better than a perfectly built car is a perfectly driven one. Watch now the Rally Belga team’s 1984 Porsche 911...

This Ugly Hatchback Is One Of The Best-Sounding Cars Ever
I’ve been hearing a lot of griping about how the new Ford GT doesn’t have a V8, and that V6s are never cool, can never be cool, have never been cool. Well, listen to the unholy roar of this ugly little British hatchback and think again. This is the MG...

Racing's Best/Worst Idea Took 12 Jaguar XJ220s and Went Downhill From There
Think of your dream, no-holds-barred, greatest racing series idea. It might involve drivers like Mario Andretti, Parnelli Jones, and Paul Newman for a little star power. Maybe a fleet of Jaguar XJ220s, which all get destroyed in huge crashes. Then you put it on TV. It was absurd and great...

When OnStar Thinks You've Crashed As You're Whipping a Corvette ZR1 Around the Track
The race car driver Andy Pilgrim has long been associated with GM’s most powerful offerings, driving C5 Corvettes for Chevy in the early aughts, later moving on to CTS-Vs for the Cadillac factory team. All of which is to say this isn’t his first rodeo, though it might be the...

When Even the Soviet Union Got Into Group B
When Even the Soviet Union Got Into Group B
Group B’s popularity wasn’t just apparent from the huge crowds filling every stage. It was apparent from who was getting involved. Sure, there were some oddballs like Ferrari and a Citroen BX, but there was one that should’ve been ideologically opposed to the whole idea as an example of decadent...
