Re: Tony Stewart-Kevin Ward / Sprint car accident
 

You do understand the the term "running over someone" refers to wrecking them/ spinning them out? NOT actually running over them such as what happened here. And as far as that comment goes. I myself (I am sure many others as well) have said something when I was pissed off that I did not really mean. Its not fair to compare one incident with another.

The ambulance chasers probably have that kid's parents home surrounded right now.

I agree Ed. Sad but true about the lawyers. Gonna be a tough case to win, if it goes to court. I mean it was no doubt an accident. Lawyers have to prove otherwise.

No. They just have to convince a jury of "registered voters" that their side is right.

There ya go. Choose the correct kind from the jury pool......

Re: Tony Stewart-Kevin Ward / Sprint car accident
 

So a question to those blaming Tony, what exactly happened there that would have Tony po'd? Was it that the driver behind him got into the cushion and wrecked himself? Was it that that same driver unbuckled himself and stepped onto a hot track? None of this was Tonys fault. The young man made some poor choices while not stopping to think of the danger he put himself in. Now his family must deal with the tragic loss of his life. We have all done things in our younger days that now we say what was I thinking and thankfully most of us escaped with no permanent consequences. No doubt you will see an across the board rule in all sanctioning bodies stating no driver is allowed to leave their car until safety workers arrive unless the car is on fire..

That about says it all Doug.

I absolutely understand that. Just as I suspect you absolutely understand that video of that statement as well as others of him that are readily available will likely be used against him in a wrongful death lawsuit, and it won't end well($$$).

I want to make it clear, I don't have the slightest thought he intended to do this, I'm only commenting that his previous hotheadedness is now going to be a problem for him.

I will just say - how many of you have ever driven a direct drive car with no flywheel or clutch or starter?

Wise up - you can not put the clutch in and roll to a stop - you have to shut it off - One thing some of the local friends like is they get to be push cars.

During a yellow they are probably still going 50 mph.

TS could not see him because the car in front of him nearly hit him.

He gassed it to spin away from him - watch the video and look at where TS front tires are pointed

Don't get out of your car until the safety crew gets there - especially in a sprint car race where THEY DO NOT STOP the cars unless there is a terrible accident - this was not a terrible accident until the idiot got killed.

I saw a video that has since been removed that looked like Tony's wing may have hit the kid before the tire did
