According to Greg Zipadelli, the manager of his Stewart-Haas Racing team, Stewart plans to race in the NASCAR event at Watkins Glen scheduled to begin at approximately 1:19 p.m. Zipadelli said of the decision: "we're business as usual today."

Cautions on a pavement track under control of nascar safety personnel are night and day different from small local dirt tracks with volunteer safety personnel. NASCAR guys point throw helmets flip guys off all the time - After safety guys are there and caution has slowed cars and pace car is out. You stay in your car at dirt tracks. Unless you are hurt or they have to wrecker you car, you stay in your car on dirt tracks they tow you back to the pits.

You could hear him hit the throttle when he plows that guy. If that is not murder, I don't know what is.

Oh look. Standing still. Bright daylight. Spotters. Cars completely down to caution speed. Totally the same!

He is 15 feet from the closest car and standing still though. Not even close to the same thing as what Ward was doing.

So let's not exaggerate and say that this guy literally jumped in front of Stewarts car. He was on the track but he didn't jump in front of the car.
Bonus: in that video posted on the previous page, TS got out f his car to confront another driver on the track

I just watched it. He definitely throttled into the guy.

Standing back next to the accident crew giving the "WTF?" gesture with your hands =/= running into the paths of oncoming cars.

Geez...some of you people just want him to be the a-hole. He can't win no matter what he does from here on out or whatever evidence vindicating him comes to light.
He planned on racing last night. He knew the guy was dead last night. Nothing has changed since then. So, it seems logical that someone else made the decision for him.

And the guy is 10 yards from the racing groove. Cars aren't having to dodge him.
The point was guys get out of their car in NASCAR events too. I know you watch, are you saying drivers never get closer when confronting on the track? If so, you missed some races. Drivers have gotten to windows on the track.

Confronting a driver under caution in a NASCAR sanctioned event is a far different animal than doing it during the cool down laps of a sprint car event.
Neither is advisable, but the latter is fat more perilous due to the type of machines they're running.
Of course it is. BUT it happens in NASCAR too. And I bet NASCAR comes down harder on drivers for doing it now.

So are we still going to say no Nascar drivers get out on the track?

I don't get this pissing match about how often drivers walk onto a live track.
It really doesn't matter how often it happens, every time someone other than emergency crew walks/runs onto a live track it's idiotic. It doesn't absolve the dead kid (nor anyone else who does it) from mitigating his risk of sustaining serious bodily harm.

Because no one in human history has changed their mind on their own.
