this is a bad situation all around. poor decision on Ward to exit his car and walk on a moving race track. not sure where the sense was there.
Poor decision on Stewart as i question why he didnt slam on the brakes or swerve to avoid hitting him. unfortunately, I smell litigtion in tony's future which will derail him on any racing venues i believe. He will have to live with this the rest of his life. but, this is not new to Stewart and his temper in the past. the last couple years of ON track, literally, walking, throwing helmets, and fighting in the pits has degraded NASCAR sport to its lowest. this all needs to change. RIP to Ward and thoughts with both Stewart and Ward families today. |

It was the sound of Tony's car. No other car on the track would have a reason to blip the throttle at that time.

From what I saw it looks like Tony's car swerves away from that young man...

Craziness! It didn't seem like it was intentional.

Bob Dylan sang in "The Ballad Of Judas Priest" the line "One should not be found where one does not belong".
Bad situation for all involved. |

Your right there should be rules for drivers not to leave their cars unless they were on fire or in immediate life threatning circumstances, so I would imagine the governing body of Sprint Car racing will be sued to for not having rules in place but even with that you cannot make do something like get out of the car with other cars coming around the track... |
