    Re: Off Topic 2014

    Kinda looks like the kid was deliberately trying to get in Stewart's way in an effort to make him stop on track.

      and re: Tony Stewart.. holy ****. Not trying to condemn what he did or didn't mean to do, but as the other driver why would you get out of your car and walk into the middle of a track where cars raced?

        I never drove on a dirt track but I would assume in would be hard to avoid someone at the last second especially on dirt.

          I can't get on the kid for going onto the track. Tony has done it before but never put himself in the position that he could get hit.

          This kid got directly in front of the car and didn't seem to have any intentions of moving.

            Looks intentional to me because you can hear Tony's vehicle rev up. Also Tony was closer to the grass then suddenly goes up towards the kid.

                To me it seems like he's going along his path and doesn't really veer until after well yeah. Car only moves like that cause well he hit something.

                  Exactly. It looks clear as day.

                  I mean, are people going to actually defend Tony Stewart here???

                    That car moved to the right prior to him hitting him. The kid was standing in the same spot when the blue car went passed him with no problem. Tony would have went passed him too if he stayed to the left, but Tony not only veered to the right, he accelerated.

                      Yeah, that's how I saw it too. I think the fishtail was after impact and occurred as the tire was running over the kid. I haven't watched the video with sound on yet, but people are saying they heard Stewart's engine rev right before impact. Though I wonder how they can be so certain it was Stewart's engine since we can't tell how far away the person taking the video, though he appears to be on the far side of the track so it could have been a car passing on the near side but below the view of the video.

                        I think Tony was just trying to be an ******* and get close to kick dirt in his face to intimidate him, but instead screwed up and hit him. Of course, the victim is not totally free of fault, having run down towards Tony's car. Nevertheless, I do feel Tony should probably be charged with gross negligence or manslaughter or something.

                        On another forum, there's a lot of people circling the wagons to defend Stewart, but I just don't see it. I don't think Tony has a lot to stand on at this point, but we'll see.

                            My thought is that both parties in the video were stupid. No reason to stand in the middle of the track and with the way he was going after him, I don't think he moves even if Tony slows down and tries to move out of the way.

                            Sounds like Tony accelerates, which is also dumb as hell for the obvious reason. Tony will get charged with something, which he should be. Just stupid all around; now a 17-year-old kid is dead. Just ****ing terrible.

                              Was the kid smart by walking towards the middle of the track?? Of course not, but you don't friggin' run him over with a damn race car. Or even flirt with that kind of danger.

                              If you have beef with the kid, teach him a lesson after the race. I'm not necessarily saying fisticuffs, but let him know he can't be doing that.

                              I honestly can't believe I'm sitting here typing this, actually making an "argument" against this.

                              WTF.

                                Car #1 goes by safely. The victim doesn't move one bit and then Stewart comes by and drills him. Hmm...
