Maybe it's because they have a very high level of confidence in the ability of other professional drivers to avoid them on a 5 car wide race track when under caution.

Like that isn't blatantly obvious

I think he got close to him on purpose and spun his back end out on purpose. I don't think he consciously wanted to kill the guy, but I do think he wanted to intimidate him and didn't try NOT to hurt him.
Are we really to believe he didn't see him at all?

Link to anyone claiming this?

Again, though, did his back end break loose?
If it did, why did it?
Is he not a good enough driver to prevent that?
Maybe he saw him at the last minute and gunned it in an effort to get around him. That would be stupid and not square with the reality of just how good a driver Tony is, but it's possible.

Oh idk, maybe because he's driving on frickING DIRT?

You don't know shite about driving and racing, how do you say this so matter of factly?

Right. Good reason to lay off the accelerator if there's anything near your back end that you don't want to damage.
But maybe y'all are right. Maybe Tony didn't see the guy and still for some reason accelerated right when he passed him. Or maybe Tony is just not a very good driver and didn't realize that accelerating would cause his car to do that.

Only 5 cars passed while Ward was out of his car, and you can't see 3 of the 5's tires. Reach much?
The more I watch the video, the more it looks like Stewart was going around the 45 and Ward was in the way of that.
And Ward looks even dumber now that the initial shock of oh crap that dude died has worn off.

quote:That is where the main argument/difference of opinion rests right now. Some(including me) thinks the car starts moving that way before making contact with Ward, while others(you) think the car does not move until making contact. As of right now anyone who thinks they are definitively right is fooling themselves. That goes for both sides
Maybe it's because there was a body underneath it, and not the other cars.

Instinct tells you to accelerate and swerve.
And the cars are designed to drift to begin with.
Moral of the story: don't be an idiot and challenge a vehicle like that on freaking foot. Nothing good could come of it.

Gives you less control of the vehicle.

I love how you won't engage me because of the way I "argue," when all you do is regurgitate the same two questions.

the more it looks like Stewart was going around the 45
ETA: Techinally not illegal, but we all know in racing it is known not to pass on a yellow
