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.


Dude is a professional driver though. I'd have to imagine if his whole purpose was to avoid the kid he would have. At the least he was intentionally trying to get close to him to intimidate him.

Didn't sound like he was in shock.


article goes on to say he got emotional

quote:

Graves got emotional as he talked about Ward, whom he raced against last week in the Patriot Sprint Tour. Graves' car broke, and he got upside down and Ward hit him.


I'm not saying he's wrong or anything, but he is certainly capable of making memory errors right after something like this happens to someone he clearly was close to

The crazy thing is Tony's drive Donny Schatz is on the verge of winning the Knoxville Nationals, the most prestigious sprint car race in the world.

I'm not going to pretend to have any valuable input, just saying that it could be an argument made.

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

I just don't see how it isn't vehicular manslaughter unless they can prove that Ward jumped in front of Tony's car

I really hate to hear all this...

Smoke has been one of my favorite drivers for a long time.

Another possibility

@PeytonsHead: Sounding like Tony Stewart turned the wheel and hit the gas to avoid Kevin Ward Jr...rear end slid on the dirt and hit him.

sprint cars aren't like regular race cars. Very hard to control. As soon as you jump on the gas they want to spin out due to the huge amount of stagger they run.

Or we are just going by what we've heard. I don't give a shite about NASCAR so I have no bias in this. But Tony Stewart is a known hot head and there has not been one source to show anything good about Stewart here.

While this is true, I have a hard time believing tony stewart is not aware of this having raced sprint cars all his life.

It's going to be hard to prove he did it on purpose.
