I agree, but a mention of a driver getting hit outside of his car is newsworthy, regardless of the did TS intend to do it and all that IMO.

This shite with road rage between drivers and pit crews fighting and all that shite is bush league. Now a kid is likely dead and one of the sports most polarizing personalities is gonna be in the can.


Tony has a lot to lose in this sort of incident.

His 4 cup teams
Eldora Speedway
2 USAC teams
2 World of Outlaws teams
Tony Stewart Foundation

I am speechless at this point. I know Tony is a competitor but damn dude.

But a guy was hit, on the track, and taken to the hospital with serious injuries (confirmed by hospital).

If you don't want to name names...fine, but the WW leader should at least act like what they claim themselves to be.

This one surpasses Hernandez because of the sheer fact that he killed someone during competition. That makes this unlike anything I've seen.

Tony is an idiot for getting on a track and actually competing against amateurs.

Deadspin Update (1:06 a.m.): More from Pockrass:

Tyler Graves, a sprint-car racer and friend of Ward's, told Sporting News in a phone interview that he was sitting in the Turn 1 grandstands and saw everything that happened.

"Tony pinched him into the frontstretch wall, a racing thing," Graves said. "The right rear tire went down, he spun on the exit of (Turn) 2. They threw the caution and everything was toned down. Kevin got out of his car. … He was throwing his arms up all over the place at Tony for most of the corner.

"I know Tony could see him. I know how you can see out of these cars. When Tony got close to him, he hit the throttle. When you hit a throttle on a sprint car, the car sets sideways. It set sideways, the right rear tire hit Kevin, Kevin was sucked underneath and was stuck under it for a second or two and then it threw him about 50 yards."
