Stewart was much higher on the track than the car in front of him which makes me think it was also very unlikely he was shielded from seeing him

Zippadelli(sp) even says he will race. Business as usual.
You just killed someone, how can it be business as usual?
I doubt he actually races.....he hasn't heard from his sponsors yet today. Would you want your brand pasted all over his car today???????

I don't see how someone can go out and race the next day after something like that.

Height on the track has nothing to do with vision angles. A shielded line of vision can happen anywhere, high or low.

Looks like the guy got too close and was coming further down into Stewart's path, so he tried to kick it out away from him, but it was too late.
From watching the video on ESPN, the kid was at fault. You would have to be out of control to walk on a dirt track during a race.
I've never been a Stewart fan, but it appeared to be reckless negligence by the victim.

Most of my arguments are based on what I can actually see and deduce from the video.
If I had to guess, Tony wanted to scare him but wasn't prepared for the kid running up and down the track after him. He was going faster than he should and expected him to move if he got too close. Let's not forget that Ward was being just as irrational as Tony was allegedly being. He was being extremely reckless.

Tony employs team sweep. Pays enough to have some dirt track in NY renamed Kevin Ward Track and pays the family $1 million. Case closed. The family ends up satisfied and Tony goes on with his life.

Oh, ok. Explain to me how vision works since Im not a human with eyes.
A better post would have been that the car in front of him may have just moved down to the bottom of the track, and tony was looking at the wreck as he drove by instead of the car in front of him or the guy.

I know they don't. I have a close friend who drives tell me so. Although he doesn't dirt track, he has told there is very little difference.

You ever been tried to make the Chase for the Cup? I don't think so.

Not if it was my company. I would expect a little more sympathetic stance from Stewart's team.
Posted on 8/10/14 at 7:59 am to ell_13
Looks pretty open and shut to me. Guy (stupidly) walks in front of car thinking tony will slam on his brakes, Tony tries to avoid him and clips him. Nothing in that video shows me that tony did it purposefully

Unbelievable. Hot head Stewart.

Good lord! You need help with something you experience every day?
You have 3 moving objects. Not hard to see how vision lines of the track can be adjusting constantly.
Go away dumbass

Maybe a few feet at worst but not "much higher" than the car in front of him.

Did Tony have an onboard camera? Some said he did.
