Yes

Was squashed quick

**aaronsaight** · 08-10-14, 04:36 PM

Does not look like a cold blooded killer to me.

Alejandro died of cholera while being transported in a bus with 32 of his fellow immigrants to a strawberry farm in California. Sad news.

Donte Stallworth was let back in the NFL after killing someone while drunk driving. You think NASCAR of all organizations is gonna give a fukk?

The guy he hit was also drunk, an illegal alien, and was jay walking at night, wearing dark clothing. One of those 50/50 fault cases. Paid a hefty amount to the family.

Re: kid video, I think a doctor would tell u that adolescents have advantages to survive trauma accidents like that.Good blood flow, unusual flexibility.Doctor would give better explanation.But ability to withstand things is unusual at a young age.

then how is it that every other driver was able to see Ward and get out of his road??

**rob** · 08-10-14, 07:38 PM

Sprint car racing is my favorite type of racing. I've covered sprint car racing for the local newspaper for about 15 years and I've been to thousands of races. I returned home today from 10 days in Iowa attending the biggest sprint car event of the year. Tony was there earlier in the week. Ironically, a car owned by Stewart won the biggest race last night. I followed Tony long before he went to NASCAR and have talked with him one-on-one on several occasions. A friend of mine is the guy who Tony credited for saving his leg following his accident last year.

One thing I can't understand is that the most-used eyewitness account mentioned in this thread comes from a friend of Ward's. A view from Tony's biggest fan in the stands there would be just as credible.

I'm pretty sure that I have a good idea regarding what happened. But I'm not 100% sure, so it really doesn't matter.

The only one who knows exactly what happened is Tony.

As a non-NASCAR fan I'm trying to understand why would a driver get off his vehicle and walk in the middle of the track even if the cars don't go full speed.

You do see drivers get out of their cars in the middle of the track if they've been wrecked,ive seen it happen a number of times,but not once has one of those drivers been run over.

OK let me ask another question. Why did this driver decide to walk in the middle of the track when all others stayed in their cars? Was his car on fire and he got out so he won't get burned? Did they say why he had to get out of his car?

I live in Atlanta and everyday someone gets killed trying to change his tire next to the express lane. It's safer if you stay in your car and wait for the tow car.

**jjgold** · 08-10-14, 08:31 PM

non story now sad as that sounds

Tony will pay off family and its over

**thechaoz** · 08-10-14, 08:36 PM

Strange out of all the cars the one that magically hit him on "accident" was the very guy he called out

**manny24** · 08-10-14, 08:36 PM

damn shame is all

**MoMoneyMoVaughn** · 08-10-14, 08:45 PM

Could be expensive settlement. The family will likely argue the kid could have made it to the sprint cup and made millions.

Who knows how this will play out. I have heard rumors of a go pro that is yet to be turned over to police.

**daneblazer** · 08-10-14, 08:59 PM

These guys have spotters. Wouldnt someone like Tony have that recorded

While your momma died from a big trailer home fire.. Apparently she fell asleep smoking cheap cigarettes...sad news.

For a PE, you sure ask some stupid questions. Did the car look like it was on fire Pavlos? Like I said you outstayed your welcome 7 years ago. You bore me so either step it up or step aside.

**ChalkyDog** · 08-10-14, 09:34 PM

Stewart was in no danger of ever going to jail unless he publicly threatened this kid or showed intent to hit him. I would argue that even then Stewart has too much money to not get off any rap like that.

The guy died, on a racetrack. Drivers assume the risk that they can die when they turn on that vehicle. On top of that, this kid was wildly negligent by getting out of his racecar in the middle of a goddamn race.

Stewart was never in danger legally. Mentally - sure. It's hard to come back from shit like this.

The estate can try and sue civilly, but due to the higher standard applied to drivers, it's going to be really difficult to prove negligence on the part of anyone but the victim.

**manny24** · 08-10-14, 09:46 PM

if he has a conscience TS WILL have nightmares about this kid going under the wheels

i would rather hitch a ride with Jeremy Mayfield than this dude

**BatemanPatrickl** · 08-10-14, 09:52 PM

Me posting as Pavyracer: "Let me ask a few more questions. Why did the driver walk over and confront Stewart; why not drive? Do the cars even have brakes? Why were there lights on the track when it was clearly nighttime? Hi I'm Pavlos and I am so bored with my average wife and average life that I come on SBR and ask stupid questions in a lame attempt to stir things up."

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 08-10-14, 10:23 PM

Did someone in Stewart camp really say "business as usual" on Sunday morning, b4 later withdrawing?

**crustyme** · 08-10-14, 10:25 PM

if laura bush can run a stop sign at 70mph, killing a teen and not spend a day in jail then theres hope for ts .

No question about this, not to mention Stewart was way in the left side, and Ward kept moving more and more towards his car.

**jjgold** · 08-10-14, 10:26 PM

Stewart has a big fan base and strong support from the big time drivers

many people say he is a generous guy also

Its a tragedy but its over

**OptimistPrime** · 08-10-14, 10:43 PM

Yes sir, JJ. Only thing that is left is the eventual interview with Oprah.

**ItsMeMrMattE** · 08-10-14, 10:52 PM

my opinion is that he should go to prison on involuntary manslaughter charges. if you have seen the video, it looks like he fishtailed it out a little on purpose. i think in his head and in the moment he was thinking he would scare him a little or maybe he was trying to tap him with the back of his car. he didnt want to run him over, but thats what happened. i cant believe he had the option to race today as well. any sponsor that sticks with him is going to have this incident attached to them. i can understand why the other driver was mad. i cant understand why tony stewart had to be driving that fast and that close to him. he could have been driving at 2mph and turning away from kevin ward instead of hitting the gas and whipping the back towards him. like a poster said above, if stewart is a normal human being he will either be haunted by this for the rest of his life or he will man up and admit that he made a mistake and accept the punishment that accompanies that mistake.

**crustyme** · 08-10-14, 10:55 PM

he can use the twinkie defense when he is charged.

Dozens of people just died while I typed this.

So let's poke fun at people who just died? Real classy CUSE. #TEAMBROKEDICK

If I jump in front of a car, feel free to make fun of me.

If you do so, please take the members of #TEAMBROKEDICK with you. Trust me you idiots will not be missed.

Bateman, quit pretending to care about a kid you've never even heard of just for the sake of arguing.
