The safety these days is incredible, if anyone remembers the 2007 Aaron's 312 at Talladega, when Kyle Busch got turned backwards by Tony Stewart, and barrel-rolled like 5 times in the backstretch grass, well if you have he walked away in a split second, thought he did crack his HANS device during the crash. But my point is that you probably won't see drivers die from crashes these days, the safety of the cars is excellent, cars can flip and tumble, and the drivers are still A-OK.
Through 2013, Tony Stewart has started 521Nascar Cup Series races, 94 Nationwide Series races (formerly known as the Busch Series) and 6Truck Series races.
There are rumors but only Tony and Kurt know for sure.

Jeff Gordon, Kasey Kahne, Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Matt Kenseth, Tony Stewart, Kurt Busch, Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle and Ryan Newman.
Tony Stewart has won 14 Nascar Cup Series poles. He has also won 6 poles in the Nascar Nationwide Series (formerly known as the Busch Series).
A better question would be why are Nascar drivers Kurt Busch, Juan Pablo Montoya, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson such cry babies?
Since 1950, 79 drivers have steered the #97. The most frequent is Kurt Busch.
In the 2014 Nascar Cup Series, Kurt Busch will drive the #41 Chevy SS for Stewart-Haas Racing.
