Tony Stewart’s freaky season of bad luck took another turn when the two-time NASCAR champion fell ill during Saturday night’s race at Daytona International Raceway.
Stewart started the Coke Zero 400 and ran as high as third, but gave way to J.J. Yeley on lap 72. Stewart got out of his No. 20 Toyota, sat down in his pit stall, wiped beads of sweat off his face with a towel and started drinking water.

Kyle Busch survived a drag race with Carl Edwards, and won at Daytona International Speedway under caution Saturday night.
Jeff Gordon was in position for his 14th victory at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday night.
Then he made two costly mistakes.
First, Gordon moved up the track and allowed eventual winner Kyle Busch to pass him for the lead with four laps to go in the Coke Zero 400. Then, the four-time Cup Series champion had a sluggish restart with two laps remaining and got spun into the infield when he tried to block Carl Edwards.
