Tony was clearly about a half car higher then the 45 car.



Nope






Look at how much road there is between the tires on each car. It's not a half a car width. A few feet maybe but it's not like TS went really high. They guy was in the middle of the track.

I used to follow NASCAR and I know that the drivers would always be in radio communication with their spotters/crew chief.

I'm curious as to whether radios are used in Sprint Car racing and if so, what if anything was said by Stewart before, during, and after the incident.

Show me where you saw any of those other cars make a sudden movement to move down.

And still no video evidence of Tony swerving into him as many claimed to see.

people who were there said it looked intentiona, though that doesn't exactly mean he swerved into him.

There is no spotter. Maybe a crew chief, but no spotter.

You mean all the ones except 45 that were at the bottom of the track?

45 didn't either then. The gopro camera will be interesting, I'd bet its almost impossible to see him with the black flame protecting suit.

That's the argument now? He should have swerved to avoid the dude standing in the middle of the track.

I think the key part of the video is how he stepped out of the way of the previous car then went back down the track.

Starting to side with tony on this one. Those cars aren't that maneuverable.

And for those saying it's Ward's fault

Stewart has gottenout of his car or approached people in their car just to bitch and act like a hard arse

So now someone does it to him and he gets a free pass for mowing them down?

Solid logic

My comment was directed at those saying they could see the car swerve before the collision.

They were already at the bottom and didn't swerve. When they passed Ward was still up top closer to his car. He made a move down to the middle of the track in time to catch 45 and Tony.

There are no radios in the cars. You wouldn't be able to hear anyways.

this, but you'll probably not see him well either because the go pro in the little case it's in the protect it doesnt give us the best quality of video either.

Now we're comparing a guy standing in the middle of a racetrack to pedestrians crossing the street?

Jesus.
