Cannot see video as YouTube has not worked since I left the states two weeks ago


Video has been taken down anyway. Driver was kicked out of Stewarts rear tire and slung a good distance. As another poster mentioned, his upper body was twisted not accordingly with his lower body. It was ugly.

I have to wonder how much longer that guy filmed for?

I mean, if you just recorded Tony Stewart run a dude over on the track, do you stop recording twenty-seconds after it happens?

I don't...

WTF is that guy thinking running into the middle of the track.

I've read a lot about him accelerating but seems hard to determine given in the recording this happens across the way so it very could have been any of the cars.

A stupid tragic accident

Tony Stewart is one of the best race car drivers in the world. The track was under caution and he hit this guy. You'll never, ever get me to believe that he couldn't control his car enough at reduced speeds to not hit this kid. He did this on purpose and I'll never be convinced otherwise.

Nascar is just staying out of it(as they should..not their event nor story)..

And I'm sure they'll suggest to Stewart that he and his head..sit out Watkins Glen, after this tragedy and sleepless night.

swing and a miss

completely dismissing the fact that the whole situation could have been avoided if Stewart wasn't his usually dickheaded self.

Nice try though....



Wow be more of an idiot. If you think that dickhead racers don't hit each other (while in their cars) to get better positions then you are a fricking mo-ron. Regardless of what kind of a person TS is if the driver would've stayed off the track...TS's dick self would've never had the opportunity to hit him.

If Tony actually races today after murdering a kid, NASCAR should be ashamed of themselves and will be ridiculed for allowing him.

I told y'all... The kid got out of his car. He is in the wrong. Now... If Stewart t-boned his wrecked car when he was in it, it would be a different story

No - dirt racing generally has a no communication with the driver/pits rule - however there is communication from the race officials (the tower) to drivers - but only one way comms. This is for communicating lineup ups after cautions, emergencies on the track etc.

He obviously put it online to generate buzz and then took it down once he started getting a million offers to buy the full video. He will get some $ and the entire thing will get released but if he had played his cards right he would have gotten 100k EASILY! Hell, TMZ paid $2700 for the stupid JA video and this is WWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY bigger.
