Stewart Friesen Injury Update
The racing world was rocked on July 28, 2025, when Stewart Friesen was involved in a harrowing multi-car crash during a Super DIRTcar Series event at Autodrome Drummond in Quebec, Canada. Running fourth, Friesen jumped the cushion on a Lap 17 restart, slammed the outside wall, and was sent flipping through the air.
His car burst into flames as it landed, then was struck hard by another competitor unable to avoid the wreck. Emergency crews worked swiftly to pull Friesen from the mangled vehicle, and he was taken immediately to a local hospital for evaluation.
His wife, fellow racer Jessica Friesen, provided updates through social media, confirming the severity of his injuries. Despite the carnage, Friesen was alert and talking to officials before transport—testament to both his composure and advancements in racing safety gear.

Stewart Friesen Racing: What’s Next for the Team?
Before the crash, Stewart Friesen Racing was locked into the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series playoffs thanks to that victory in Michigan. The team, co-owned by Friesen and his sponsor Halmar, has been a steady presence in the series, typically running their own program and sometimes fielding dirt entries for other drivers.
While Friesen’s status for the rest of the season is unclear, speculation is high. There are mentions across racing forums and social media about possible substitute drivers stepping into the No. 52 ride, but nothing public is set in stone.
Some fans wonder if Friesen’s own words from earlier this season—about contemplating a step back from racing after multiple violent crashes—could influence a longer-term decision regarding his racing future and the team’s outlook. The impact on the team’s playoffs run will depend on choices made in the coming weeks.
