INDY PRO SERIES: Brian Stewart helps Canadian golfer qualify

Brian Stewart helps Canadian golfer qualify for tourney: Indy Pro Series team owner Brian Stewart spends nearly as much time on golf courses as he does at racetracks.

Earlier this week, Brian Stewart took time away from chasing his own golf balls to caddy for fellow Canadian Dan Payton in Chattanooga, Tenn., as the young golfer qualified for this weekend�s Nationwide Tour event at Black Creek Club.

�Dan is a good kid,� Stewart said of Payton, who regularly golfs on the Great Lakes Tour, Canada�s developmental golf circuit. �He works at the club where I belong, and we had a chance to talk and play a couple of times, so I decided to back his efforts.�

Payton, who ranks third on the Great Lakes Tour, will compete for part of a $475,000 purse. Stewart, who caddied �in the blazing hot sun� Monday and Tuesday, departed for Iowa Speedway where the team will conduct some off-season testing.
