Ontheair Stewarthasbeenin seclusion since Ward's death, his whereabouts undisclosed. He's been described as heartbroken, devastated for Ward's family and overcome by the outpour- ing of behind-the-scenes support he's received from the NASCAR com- munity. But very few peo- ple have spoken to Stew- art, who seems to be nav- igating through this grief process away from many he's close to at the track. Kevin Harvick, his longtime friend and teammate, said Sunday he's not spoken to Stew- art. Nor had Rick Hen- drick, one of the most steadying voices in NAS- CAR and a mentor to many, including Stewart. Dr. Joseph R. Ferrari, a social phycologist at DePaul University, said Stewart could be act- ing on the advice of legal counsel, or simply strug- gling through a tricky emotional process. "Does he feel guilt or shame? I think that's what is going on," Ferrari said. "There's a difference between shame and guilt and people often confuse this. With guilt, you've done some moral offense, you've done something to really offend somebody, and you say 'I've done something wrong.' "Shame-prone people, they will begin to devalue themselves and begin to examine their character, wonder 'What a terrible person I am.' It could be so bad, so demoralizing, that he just isn't ready to come back." Nobody in the NASCAR community doubts Stew- art is suffering. You could walk from one end of the garage to the other listen- ing to stories of Stewart's generosity and willing- ness to help in an emer- gency. He's gifted cash to a crew member who had an unexpected and ur- gent need, sent his plane to pick up family mem- bers of a stricken em- ployee, scrambled to get someone home in time for the birth of a child. When someone in NAS- CAR needs an immediate favor, they go to Stewart, who always says yes. Stewart won the Na- tionwide Series race at Daytona in 2013 when a last-lap crash sent Kyle Larson's car into the fence and the debris shower injured dozens of fans. He had an appropri- ate and muted reaction in Victory Lane: "The im- portant thing is what's going on on the front- stretch right now," he said upon climbing from his car. "This is a dan- gerous sport. We assume that risk, and it's hard when the fans get caught up in it." Two days later, after finishing 41st in the Day- tona 500, he visited all the fans still hospitalized from the crash. Many said Stewart cried with them. Stewart, like the late Dale Earnhardt, doesn't talk about his softer side. He never spoke publicly about that hospital visit in Daytona, or the fire- suits and helmets he's gifted sprint car racers, or the money he's doled out to struggling drivers in need of a break. But those who know him and have seen his compassion talk of that Stewart, not the helmet- throwing grizzly bear who has a storied history of sparring early and of- ten with reporters. "Everybody in this ga- rage knows Tony. Tony doesn't beat his chest and talk about the things he does for people. We know it, we see it, but nobody else does," said Jeff Bur- ton, who replaced Stew- art on Sunday. "Earn- hardt was like that. Earnhardt didn't want anybody to know the things he did for people. "A lot of people only know Tony because he threw a helmet. They only know Tony because he got mad. I just hate peo- ple jump to conclusions." The beating he's taken in the court of public opinion and the feelings it has created could be what's keeping Stewart away from the race track, and could be what's pre- venting him from reply- ing to the many mes- sages he's received from his peers. Maybe he'll be back this weekend at Bristol, maybe it won't be until next week at At- lanta, or maybe he won't be back at all this year. But when he does re- turn to the track, he'll find a community eager to embrace him and help him in all the ways he's helped others in need. "Racing is a commu- nity," Burton said. "The racing community cares about each other." NASCAR FROM PAGE 1 miere until Oct. 30. "They're not going to risk losing audience, that show is so hot," said Marc Ber- man of TV Media Insights. In the meantime, "The Big Bang Theory" can help boost CBS's Monday lineup. CBS averaged 8.3 million live viewers in prime time on Thursdays last fall, ac- cording to Nielsen. That's 2.8 million more than sec- ond-place ABC. It seemed to need the Thursday night NFL pack- age the least, but the last thing CBS wanted was to fall behind another net- work that added football's massive audiences. The NFL first proved it could lure viewers in prime time when "Monday Night Football" debuted on ABC in 1970. But in April 2005, ABC decided it could no longer afford the package. The games switched to sis- ter network ESPN. At the same time, the Sunday night package shifted from cable to NBC. Much has changed since ABC made that decision. During the 2004 season, NFL games on ABC, CBS and Fox averaged 15.4 mil- lion viewers; prime-time shows on the big four net- works averaged 9.8 million. By 2013, the NFL on CBS, Fox and NBC was up to 20.3 million, while prime time was down to 7 million. In less than a decade, football's advantage soared from 57 percent to 190 percent. "We've only gotten more valuable on broad- cast," said Brian Rolapp, the chief operating officer of NFL Media. In 2011, "Sunday Night Football" became the first sports program to rank as the most-watched show in all of prime time. And last season, it became the first to rank No. 1 among women ages 18-49. NBC Sports Group Chair Mark Lazarus com- pares the NFL to another event that draws families together in front of the TV, the Olympics — able to overcome what he de- scribes as a "headphone nation." NFL FROM PAGE 1 The 28-year-old Span- iard also said at that time he expected to return for the U.S. Open. Instead, he's the fourth man in the Open era, which began in 1968, to decline to try to defend his U.S. Open title. The others were Ken Rosewall in 1971, Pete Sampras in 2003 and Juan Martin del Potro in 2010. Del Potro also is out of this year's U.S. Open after wrist sur- gery in March. Nadal is 44-8 with four titles in 2014, including his record ninth French Open trophy in June. He has not competed since losing in the fourth round of Wimbledon on July 1. With Nadal side- lined, five-time U.S. Open champion Federer joins Djokovic as a favorite in New York — even if there are questions about them. Federer turned 33 this month, and it's been more than two years since he won one of his record 17 Grand Slam ti- tles. But he is coming off a runner-up finish at Wimbledon last month and a hard-court title at the Cincinnati Masters on Sunday. After beating David Ferrer 6-3, 1-6, 6-2 on Sunday, Federer declared: "My game's exactly where I want it to be." Djokovic won Wim- bledon to take the No. 1 ranking from Nadal, but had a rough time on hard courts, losing his second match in both Toronto and Cincinnati. Still, Djokovic will be seeded No. 1 at the U.S. Open, and the third- ranked Federer is ex- pected to rise one seed- ing spot to No. 2, so they could meet only in the fi- nal. The draw is Thurs- day. Tennis FROM PAGE 1 Grasu was that he never had to think about him. But Grasu is just as im- portant to the Ducks for his role off the field. Play- ers often mention that he is everyone's go-to team- mate for advice. For the past two seasons the team has honored him with the Todd Doxey Award for the player that best represents the "spirituality, dedica- tion and brotherhood as- sociated with being an outstanding teammate." The award is named af- ter the Oregon defensive back who drowned in an accident shortly before the 2008 season. Considered a solid NFL prospect at center, Grasu instead opted to return to the Ducks for his senior year. Mariota and corner- back Ifo Ekpre-Olomu also decided to stick around for another season. "It's not 'unfinished busi- ness.' It's about coming back for this team, coming back for this community, for this coaching staff. It's about be- coming better football play- ers. It's about becoming a better team. That's what it's all about," he said. "Ob- viously our goal is to win a national championship. It's no secret at all. If we pre- pare like we should prepare, if we practice like we should practice, the sky's the limit for this team." Oregon went 11-2 last season, finishing with a 30-7 victory over Texas in the Alamo Bowl. Oregon's two late-season losses, to Stanford and Arizona, cost the Ducks a shot at the na- tional championship and the Pac-12 title. Mariota joked that Grasu is particularly pro- tective of him, especially since a knee injury ham- pered the Ducks' star quar- terback last season. "Hroniss always gives me a hard time about swinging a golf club — he doesn't want me to hurt my back," Mariota said. Said Grasu: "I joke around with him, like if we're crossing the street, I'll kind of hold his hand a little bit."
