After watching the video several times, IMO, I think the kid got clipped by the upper wing as he was leaning in to give Smoke the old fuk finger, and from there went down and then was clipped by the right rear tire.
Didn't see the right rear kick out as though Smoke was trying to scare him. Having been a crew member on a winged sprint car for a few years, the upper wing is obviously wide, but is also very low in the frontal area.
Anyway very tragic, and all sanctioning organizations should require drivers to stay in their cars, unless it is on fire, until safety personel are on the scene.
