Default Re: Tony Stewart-Kevin Ward / Sprint car accident

I watched the video several times. I don't think he gassed it. Car in front of Tony jerked wheel to avoid him. Cars were in the turn and would have made it hard to see until you were right on top of him. Kid was pissed and jumped in the way trying to get Tonys attention. Cars were all at same "pace" speed. Last minute Tony tried to avoid him is what it looked like to me. Not the best lights from the video, and black firesuit and black helmet. Emergency crew was not to the car yet.
We all make mistakes, and this one was terrible for a young racer, his family and for TS and everyone else involved. Bad for motorsports in general.
Prayers to all involved.
