Re: Tony Stewart Strikes and Kills On-Foot Driver
Originally posted by GilleySome of the ignorance in this thread is amazing. I don't watch nascar anymore, but I did a few years a go when Stewart was racing, and while he has a temper, I can't see him intentionally running someone over. Also, I see a lot of people both here, and on other sites that have absolutely no idea what they are talking about when it comes to racing.
I don't think anyone is saying he intentionally ran him over. Their are some saying he meant to intimidate him and accidentally ran him over.Comment

Re: Tony Stewart Strikes and Kills On-Foot Driver
It's hard for me to believe that Stewart could even see the guy.
1) The race was at night.
2) The racetrack was very poorly lit and they should be held accountable for that.
3) Ward's racing gear was all black, very hard to see at night in a poorly lit place.
4) I heard that Stewart told authorities that he couldn't see Ward. It was almost like he disappeared and reappeared when he hit him.
5) The sprint car before Stewart avoided him at the last second, making me believe that he could not see him as well until he got right on him.
Stewart has no fault in any of this. Blame the kid for getting out of his car, and then going into oncoming traffic. We sure have no problem blaming stupidity if that happened off the race course.NFL- Green Bay Packers

Re: Tony Stewart Strikes and Kills On-Foot Driver
And you can't prove he DIDN'T try and hit him on purpose.
I personally believe his anger took over(which he is prone to do), he forgot he was on dirt instead of asphalt, and tried to scare the kid by "brushing" up against or near him. But it backfired on him.
Either way you look at it, it's either involuntary/voluntary vehicular manslaughter and he needs to be held responsible for his actions."People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." - Rogers HornsbyComment

The prosecution has the burden of proof, not the defense.
Therefore you must prove that he did it, he doesn't have to prove that he didn't do it.Comment

Re: Tony Stewart Strikes and Kills On-Foot Driver
It looked to me that Ward almost got hit when he jumped in front of the first blue car. So he was already in danger of being hit especially in a poorly lit area of the track. Unless another video can show a better angle, I just don't feel Tony had anywhere to go especially since Ward jumped down the track in front.Comment

Re: Tony Stewart Strikes and Kills On-Foot Driver
Oh I know. It's a damn shame that Stewart would honestly think "Hey.......I'm going to hit this guy with millions of people watching and knowing that it will be caught on camera." C'mon man.
Doesn't matter what any of us think; he's the one who has to live with his actions for the rest of his life.NFL- Green Bay Packers

Re: Tony Stewart Strikes and Kills On-Foot Driver
I don't really watch racing, so I won't even try to pretend to know whether Stewart could have avoided him or not.
But getting out of your car and charging after a race car that's still running in a race should earn you a Darwin award.
It's a shame because something like this should never happen.Comment

Re: Tony Stewart Strikes and Kills On-Foot Driver
Did Stewart steal your gf or something, or are you related to Ward? You have some type of unhealthy vendetta against this dude.Comment
