@danielfarish: @KenD51 @thadopeja MRN officials are now saying Stewart intentionally turned towards Ward.

@BostonRobConn: .@FOXSportsLive giving updates/reports on the Tony Stewart incident.

@SportsCenter has nothing on the story yet.

That video is disturbing

1. Zero chance you can tell I'id it was intentional from that video.

 

2. I don't watch that stuff, butwhy in God's green earth would you jump out of your car and start walking on a racetrack, in a black fire suit, at night. Darwin Award nominee.

I saw the video

 

I put both of them with fault and blame.

The kid should never stand in the middle of the track and tony has always had a temper and wouldn't surprise me if he tried to get as close to him as possible to send a message but got a little too close and tragedy.

 

The car in front of Tonys was able to avoid him by a lot and it didn't look as if Tony made any effort to avoid him and instead went straight for him.

 

Tony will get off because he is Tony Stewart. Unfortunately both were at fault and it left a 19 year old dead.

Here's the video. Warning that it obviously is disturbing to see someone get hit and killed plus the person recording the incident does curse. Mods can feel free to remove it it deemed necessary.

 

Video: Tony Stewart Runs Over Driver During Confrontation, Killing Him

No way Stewart hit the guy on purpose. We're not talking about some weekend warrior here.

 

The video doesn't show it well, but the track was dimly lit, the other driver had on black firesuit and helmet and he walked back into traffic. It looked like Tony's car was following another car, and that car moved over to avoid the guy and he was right in Tony's path. You can see Stewart swerve at the last second and catch the guy with the right rear of his sprint car.

 

Very unfortunate situation, but there is no way I'm blaming Stewart based on what I've seen so far, especially saying he did it on purpose.

For the love of me, I do not understand why drivers got out on the track. I know they are angry but if they want to fight, that is what the pits are for. I have seen it in NASCAR, and if fact Stewart has done it, but it is just a dumb thing to do. It is just to bad Kevin Ward paid the ultimate price.

Always thought Tony was a scum bag. He totally revved up his engines as he was trying to pass Ward, which caused his car to hit him. He may have meant to intimidate the young man, but instead he left him dead.

how do you know this?

 

You lose any credibility as soon as you typed the first sentence.

The guy videoing the incident that I saw was ripping Stewart, "saying he just ran over this guy", you could hear people in the background getting upset before it cut off. Didn't Stewart also injure someone a few years ago in a dirt track race?

Just announced that Stewart will not race today

I don't want to speak ill if the dead but that was the height of stupidity.

That looks like what happened to me as well...I don't think he intentionally tried to hit the other driver.

He was in a wreck where a young lady broke her back. Last year he was in a wreck and broke his own leg.
