DARLINGTON, S.C. - Tony Stewart was released from a hospital Monday, a day after he was injured in a wreck at Darlington Raceway. <br>

Stewart underwent an MRI exam on Monday morning before doctors released him from a Florence hospital, track spokeswoman Cathy Mock said. Results of the test were negative, she said. <br>

Stewart, 30, was injured in a crash while he was leading Sunday's Carolina Dodge Sealers 400. He was approaching Buckshot Jones to make a pass on lap 227, Jones' car bobbled and moved into Stewart's path. The two collided, sending Stewart's Pontiac into the wall. Gordon hit him from behind. <br>

After hitting the wall, Stewart's car went back down the track as cars continued to collect behind him and he was hit hard on the passenger side by Jimmy Spencer. <br>
<br>
He was briefly knocked unconscious and when he came to was complaining of lower back pain and numbness and tingling in his left foot. <br>
<br>
He was airlifted to the hospital and tests Sunday night were negative, but he was held overnight for observation.
