Brian Vickers has received medical clearance from NASCAR to race at Daytona International Speedway, and the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing car of injured Tony Stewart will compete in Saturday night's Sprint Unlimited at DIS.
That is according to NASCAR's executive vice president and chief racing development official Steve O'Donnell, who made the announcement on Thursday with SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
A formal announcement of SHR's plans for the No. 14 car at Daytona is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. ET Friday at the track.
"He is medically cleared, so Stewart-Haas is still looking at communicating the driver of that vehicle, but we have made the decision to allow the No. 14 car to participate in the event," O'Donnell told SiriusXM. "When we looked at it, (Stewart's injury) was due to some unforeseen circumstances.
"A lot of prep work went into that car and there were a lot of implications for the 14 not being in that race, so in this instance we made the decision to allow the 14 to participate."
