Feisty and a hothead.
If he did this deliberately, he's going to prison. Whatever NASCAR does is secondary, no?
So Stewart had a Go-Pro camera equipped and still proceeded to plow over his enemy at 100 mph? Babe the Blue Ox is impressed with this balls on this guy.
Of course not. Pretty sure he didn't intentionally run over him and kill him. Doesn't matter, though. He did it.
My guess is he was looking to show off / show the kid up. Maybe intended to graze him, do a big Yeeee Haawwww fir the fans. Did more than he intended, because it was a ####### stupid idea... Which should be enough for reckless homicide.
Yeah ok guy
I'll feel bad for the kid and his family, not Stewart.
If you walk out on a racetrack during a race, sometimes you get hit.
I'm not trying to be insensitive, but I really don't get this point of view after watching the clip. The kid got out of his car and ran towards moving cars. The car in front of Tony Stewart swerved at the last second. It's possible that he hit him on purpose, but it can never be proven, especially after watching that video.
Just one man's opinion, but having viewed that, let's not call him Smoke. How about Tony Stewart, until he gets an inmate number? He gunned the throttle. Yes, Ward was stupid. As 17 years are apt to being. Stewart gunned the throttle. Not to avoid. Out of aggression. It was fatal.
The guy in front of Stewart was going even faster than Tony was. Tragic accident and a good lesson to stay in your car after you wipe it out, or at the very least, don't jump out looking to take on a 2,000 pound automobile.
Here's case closed. He gunned the throttle. Only viable explanation is that:1. He saw Ward
I think you are watching a different video than the rest of us. Stewart is a professional driver. He had at least 10 feet of open track to his left if he really wanted to avoid the kid.
You should probably stop posting for a while before someone reports this and you get sued.
It's a dirt track. Let's not just make silly assumptions here. From what I see, a hot headed kid wiped his car out, and decided he was going to get out of his car, walk directly toward moving sprint cars (not just Stewart's, BTW) and try to show up a guy who has had more success this year coming off a busted leg than the kid will have in his entire racing career. It's silly. You think if someone other than Stewart is involved in that crash, the kid does anything? No, he takes his medicine and moves on. In this case, he gets nicked by a 3 time NASCAR champion and decides he is going to have a story to tell his buddies. Didn't work out quite so well for him.
Ham, I'm a Dale Jr. fan. Never once rooted for Stewart to win a race or a title or any of the stuff he has done. But watching that video, nobody will ever convince me that he had any intention of running the kid down.
Go to bed before you make further regrettable posts. Not sure that's really possible though. I'm honestly trying to help you out here.
Fair enough RN. Just hate seeing people jump to conclusions, although I may be admittedly guilty of that in this case. Let's see how it plays out.
Go to Deadspin if you want to read all manner of opinions that look my clearly stated opinion seem tame. It would be a pretty big effort to make "guy with an opinion on the Internet" on message boards a standard for lawsuits.
