CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Two-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart will attend the inaugural Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Sunday.
Stewart was one of several active champions under fire for not planning to attend any of the Hall of Fame events. He was testing during the May 11 grand opening, and missed Thursday night’s gala because it was his birthday.
Stewart traditionally spends Sunday at the Indianapolis 500 for “bump day” and had planned to do so this year.
He has changed those plans, and will walk the red carpet before Sunday’s induction ceremony begins.
