Your argument is that because Smoke gets angry at other drivers and reporters he is a murder. Based on your argument the Bush brothers should have killed more people than Hitler.
dude...i never said anything close to this. I never once said he was a murderer.
Only things I have said were I think he is hot headed, an a-hole (on the track), he probably tried to intimidate Ward, and that I thought he could see him. The first 2 aren't really debateable the last 2 are.

Like I said continue on with your predetermined opinions.
Stewart was in front of Kevin and Kevin hit the wall. There aren't rear view mirrors. He may have not know that Kevin wrecked.
There was not radio communications.
So continue on with your bullshite theories.
Edited to add: The sprint race on Saturday night was not a NASCAR sanctioned event despite what everyone thinks.

This is from his wiki page

Stewart is known for his successes on multiple levels of racing, his passionate love of racing, and hot-tempered nature, which has led to many on-track altercations with other drivers.

This makes somewhat of a difference.
That yellow flag, though.
And then the car facing the wrong way and a guy walking on the track pointing at him.
I've never driven one of these cars, but if the visibility is so poor that Tony didn't know what was going on, then I don't know how they ever complete a race.

Could Stewart have been mad that a rookie was on the track showing him up?
If he had seen ward that is.

Do you really believe this distinction will matter? It's a major nascar driver and his behavior in question. Public perception of the sport will hurt nascar not sprint racing.

so he didn't know that there was a yellow flag?
and he didn't see the car coming around the turn?
sorry tigerfred, I can't believe that.

While a NASCAR fan, I've never seen much of a sprint car race. Do they have radio communications?

if tony stewart didn't see the wrecked car on the track and a driver walking on it, then he is not the driver that everyone says he is.

Quit trying to beat everyone over the head with your stupidity please!

He was in a turn at a night race. This isn't some perfect visibility scenario.

Maybe because they aren't having to watch for people walking in the middle of the track?
For frick's sake, the 45 car almost hit Ward, why aren't yall all upset about that as well?
The only person to blame in thi8s is the idiot that got out of his car and walked into the middle of a race track.

Has Tony released a statement or anything?

20. The race director will use a radio to communicate with the drivers. Raceivers are mandatory. Drivers will be responsible for a working raceiver. A raceiver that fails to work while on the racetrack is subject to a warning for the first offense. Second offense: subject to a $50.00 fine and five points from point total at end of season. Failure to use a raceiver or scanner, while on the racetrack: automatic suspension for the remainder of the season.

And if he doesn't know how to keep his back end from breaking loose
And if he can't judge his car's proximity to objects

You're really going out of your way to ignore that minor detail.
