For anyone who has watched the video, was there a bunch of smoke on the track and all that?

Is everyone thinking a close drive by attempt gone bad?



There was only one smoke.

"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."
Holy shite

Keep in mind the quote is someone who isa. Friend of the guy that died. Not exactly unbiased.

And no way it was 50 yards.

dude is a friend of the guy. He's upset and in shock

I would probably say the same thing if I saw my friend go through that even though I know there is no way he was thrown that far

No shite.

But just because the guy was friends with the deceased (possibly), then that doesn't mean his statement should be discredited. The kid was obviously not a football player though...

Reports say Tony acelerated and possibly lost control or spun out and around hitting the guy.

IMO if he did anything other than attempt to turn his vehicle away from the guy and avoid any interaction at all, he is in a world of shite.

I've been saying it all night, but was told I was stupid. Canandaigua is a huge track with ample room to avoid anything and everything.

I guess he could make the argument that he was trying to get down the track to avoid any altercation at all. All just random speculation based on all of the comments in this thread though.

Didn't sound like he was in shock.

He described what happened, even saying what Tony did to make Kevin get out of his car was "just racing"...

Looks like a dump situated between a junkyard and a trailer park with a few 2A high school stadium bleachers on one side.
