re: VIDEO: Tony Stewart hits opposing driver; driver has died according to reports

Mikey preview your posts man

I think this is the first video of several that will come out. There has to be a wide shot of the track from an official track videographer. There are rumors of a go pro camera on TS's car.

It looks like TS hit him with the front right tire, rolled over him and then the back right tire kicked him out. Also ward was trying to get out of the way when he was hit.

Couple of things:
They were under yellow so TS should have been slowing way Down

The accident was in a straightaway going into a turn so why was stewart so high and not on the inside of the track avoiding the wreck?

Stewart had to be able to see him, he was coming out of a turn where the track opened up, so why didn't he steer away from him completely?

It looked like ward had stopped moving forward and was pointing at TS coming around, so why did TS pass so close to him?

All quite possible. Can't convict a guy on that, though. (I don't think you were calling for jailtime, so not really directed at you.)

Difference between manslaughter an murder.

All the other drivers were low on the track and throttling down while ol Tony was high on the track and throttling up.

Again...

Stewart hit the throttle in order to intimidate Ward. No doubt about that. He should've known hitting the throttle causes those cars to get sideways.

this . Tony let his hothead and his ego get in the way of his logic.

Same token, how can anyone say he tried to miss him?

i'm not saying he tried to miss him, but that video should exonerate TS in any sort of criminal investigation

that driver put himself in harm's way. end of story

now, is TS potentially civilly liable? maybe

Even if that were true - and it may or may not be - the same could be said of the deceased driver.

Show the next frame where TS is almost on the damn wall

I take that to mean that you believe that this just doesnt happen, which is not true.

I know it happens but not nearly as often as people in this thread are saying it does and not nearly on the same level as what Ward done. I don't even see that behaviour from rednecks at the local track though I have seen them fight after races a few times.

You having to link 12 year old videos proves it isn't a regular occurrence to that extreme and the link of the one that happened yesterday is a whole different situation than what Ward done.

I took what Thib-a was saying as what Ward done was the norm and it's clearly not.

well since the trolls who dont know shite about racing are out now, this thread is shite. Is Tony still racing today?
