TS has the money to get the type of lawyers that will make O.J.'s dream team look like public defenders. They will bitch slap this case and will be the only people getting paid in the matter

Tony was standing off to the side, on a concrete surface, throwing at a Cup car on pit road, not bouncing around like a retard on a dirt track.

Really has nothing to do with the present situation.

He wasn't dumb enough to get run over though

I think he'll do time for this.
No way he walks off a free man from this.

Just watched the video. While Ward was stupid for getting out of his car in anger, Stewart should have slowed, even stopped. Seemed like Stewart hit the gas and veered toward him. If he doesn't arrested, this is f'ed up. And I could care less about racing.
why aren't you complaining about the other cars not stopping? cars don't stop on the traffic when under a caution.

So is this good or bad for the sport of racing?

Don't know where you see him veering toward Ward.

It's already been stated 100 times why these cars have to gear down over a lap or two to slow down much less just stop.

Well we can't rule that out either. Everything in this thread is still speculation at this point. But in my experience I would say that this case is ripe for a grand jury presentation once it's all said and done. Let the community decide to charge or not. It takes the pressure off the DA and sheriff to make that call.

Bad for Tony Stewart.

It's hard to believe but from the video it looks intentional.
not at all, it does look like he probably gunned it as he was driving by they guy but at that point he's moving pretty fast any way and the guy is coming down the track. He could have gunned it to try to get by the guy. At the most I could see them trying to convict on involuntary manslaughter.

I'll bet it is put before a grand jury. Doing that alleviates the DA from having to make the call. This with a death like this which will have some political pressure on the DA, he gives it to the Grand Jury. If they charge, it's not his fault. If they don't, still not his fault.

A quick experiement for you to do, go find a dirt road somewhere. Build up speed to about 30 mph (which is way slower than they were driving). When safely away from everything slam on your breaks to stop.
Or put a marker down and gradually stop.
Get out of your car and then see how long it took for you to come to a complete stop.
Not as easy as it sounds (or possible) to see the guy in the middle of the track and just "stop" to avoid him.
That's not even considering that stopping on a race track under caution could cause more problems.

He could have been trying to accelerate attempting to miss him. Anyone with a driver's license knows that when you lock up your breaks, you have very little control of a motor vehicle.
I'm coming at this clear eyed. I don't follow Nascar. The only two Nascar drivers I'd be able to pick out of a line up are probably Dale Jr. and Jeff Gordon. All I'm doing is looking at the information that is out there and anyone that thinks Tony Stewart should bear any blame for this in any way is wrong.

This was my first thought.
