Senseless, all around.
There was video of the accident on YouTube, but I think it has been taken down. |

Maybe he had a massive stroke from the impact with the wall when Stewart went by?? I guess an autopsy will confirm the cause of death. Seems strange that the ass end of a dirt car going sideways would kill instantly like that....

I would have to see the video to give a better opinion, but it sounds like Tony felt threatened, or didn't want to be bothered with him. and just wanted to get out of there quick..

Most of the time accidents just happen because two drivers were fighting for the same piece of real estate. It is just part of the game, and it is going to happen at times. no one is happy about it, everyone wants to finish at least... and hopes to win. But no one wants to tear their cars up! If Tony meant to run him over, he would have done it with the front tire. I'm sorry the guy had to die, but I see this as a stupid accident that he brought on himself. Regardless.. I'm sure Tony still feels bad about it.. |

Tragic all around.
I want to believe that Tony turned the wheel to avoid hitting him and the back end kicked out. For what it is worth - the other driver walked into traffic. |

WTF was he thinking!!!!! And I even have to wonder why he even thought this accident was Tony's fault. There was a slower car to the bottom of the corner and Stewart had to move his line up, and still plenty of room. Keep in mind that sprint cars do not use mirrors, and he was behind his line of sight, so Stewart had no idea other than the sound of the other cars engine where he was. The general rule of thumb is... if you cant see the other guys front tire at your door, you own the line. Stewart's right rear tire clipped the other guys left front tire... sending him into the wall. The track looks like it has a lot of clay in it and looks slick, so of course there is going to be some lateral slide. The guy in the top grove trying to ride the cushion needed to get out of the throttle a bit and let him go. He caused his own crash! Then caused his own death... |

Sorry- but T. Stewart is a master at car control. He knew exactly what he was doing. This was aggravated assault at minimum. With manslaughter.
Steward did the same shit his whole career. Getting out and confronting other drivers on the track. He will get what he deserves. Loss of his race team, career, and whatever else. |

What kind of damn fool walks away from a wreck into the path of oncoming cars?
Sure Stewart's confronted drivers before....AFTER they stopped moving! |

wtf were they both thinking? Oh... They weren't. It'll be interesting to see Stewart snake out of this one.... And people wonder why owners have a clause in their driver's contract prohibiting racing like this, other than exclusively for their team. This is a bad situation all around.... It seems that Stewart leaves a wake of carnage at this track every time he's there. "Stewart was involved in a July 2013 accident at Canandaigua that seriously injured a 19-year-old driver. He later took responsibility for his car making contact with another and triggering the 15-car accident that left Alysha Ruggles with a compression fracture in her back." |

video here:
Video: Tony Stewart Runs Over Driver During Confrontation, Killing Him Other driver clearly caused his own wreck. Dumbass had no business getting out of the car. As far as Stewart intentionally running him over, it's hard to tell. |

Is it just me or did Tony drift the rear of the car AWAY from the angry driver? It almost looked like he was trying not to hit the kid.
Also, the kid had a little more room he could have run a little higher up the track and this whole thing never would have been an issue. Last edited by Stangkiller; 08-10-2014 at 8:18am. |

Wow, a lot of conclusions being drawn here based on a crappy video. None of you know what anyone's intentions were.
