August 12, 201412 yr I posed it like this before, but if Stewart wanted to avoid him, why didn't he simply brake? Do you know how hard it is to slow down a sprint car??
August 12, 201412 yr How? Walking on the track and walking towards one car are very different things...no?
August 12, 201412 yr For about 10 years I spent most every Friday and Saturday night watch 3 cousins, 3 uncles and my grandpaw dirt track race throughs Mississippi and Louisiana. So I feel I have a little insight
August 12, 201412 yr Which is? I don't know what went through TS's mind but there's no evidence what so ever to indicate he meant to hit him.
August 12, 201412 yr I don't know what went through TS's mind but there's no evidence what so ever to indicate he meant to hit him. Who has said he meant to HIT him?
August 12, 201412 yr Who has said he meant to HIT him? I didn't say anyone said it. I was giving my opinion because I was asked. If it helps, I'll add... There's absolutely no evidence to suggest he meant to scare him either. Or that he even knew Ward was walking towards him...better?
August 12, 201412 yr Walking on the track and walking towards one car are very different things...no? If it makes you feel better, Ward walked towards Stewart's car. Happy? Now, since there is no evidence, in your opinion, that validates the argument that Stewart was intentionally too close, where is your evidence that he didn't intentionally get closer?
August 12, 201412 yr I posed it like this before, but if Stewart wanted to avoid him, why didn't he simply brake? In most cases, when you slow down to a certain point doesnt the engine cut out? Sprint cars dont have transmissions right? Have to be push started.
August 12, 201412 yr I don't know what went through TS's mind but there's no evidence what so ever to indicate he meant to hit him. So 0% blame on TS?
August 12, 201412 yr People that hate Stewart all see him as doing "Something" intentionally...these are the people that have referred to him with condescension and name calling in this thread. People that think there "Has" to be somebody to blame for everything that happens in society...think Stewart intentionally did "Something" and it caused Ward's death. Stewart Fans think he did absolutely no wrong. I think it was an accident...and that accidents happen. I personally place more blame on Ward for his actions are 100% clear on the video and reserve the ability to place blame on Stewart if the evidence is clear that he intentionally tried to hit Ward. As much as everyone thinks they know what was going on in his head, no one knows if he even knew the kid was mad or even who had wrecked until he got back around to the car.

Now, since there is no evidence, in your opinion, that validates the argument that Stewart was intentionally too close, where is your evidence that he didn't intentionally get closer? I don't have it nor have I claimed I did. Usually the burden of proof here would be on the side trying to claim he's guilty. I realize we're not in court, but we were he'd be innocent until proven guilty...
August 12, 201412 yr In most cases, when you slow down to a certain point doesnt the engine cut out? Sprint cars dont have transmissions right? Have to be push started. Not sure but that's how it used to be. Also as Doc noted these cars are very unresponsive steering at slow speeds.
August 12, 201412 yr In most cases, when you slow down to a certain point doesnt the engine cut out? Sprint cars dont have transmissions right? Have to be push started. I've read that they have to keep them around 35 to 40 even during caution laps.
