NASCAR Tony Steward Driver Spins Out, Hits and Kills Another Driver

[N2NH]

And speculation abounds. The story was written before 20 year-old Kevin Ward died of his injuries.

The facts will come out soon. Anything earlier is speculation.
Having moved recently to North Carolina, I have witnessed some local track racing. There is one track in particular- Bowman Gray in Winston-Salem which has deteriorated to "wrestling on wheels". I have said recently that someone would get killed soon, due to tempers. I hope that what Tony Stewart did was not intentional, and I will pray for the other driver, Kevin Ward Jr.

There is a link to that video in the first linked to story.

Too many conflicting stories out at this time.

Tony Stewart Race 08/09/2014 Upstate New York

Tragic

[WØTKX]

Too soon to judge, but anybody who walks onto the track during a race (yellow or not) is a freaking dumbass.

I doubt Tony hit him on purpose. Besides, his attention was likely on the apex of the turn, duh?

[KG4CGC]

FOX claimed this morning it was intentional. Guess Uncle Rupert don't like Tony.

Angry populism sells advertisements.

[KG4CGC]

Here's what they did. They repeated a statement by an angry and emotional friend of the deceased. The friend said that Mr. Stewart was a professional who knew how to get the car to kick out just enough to hit the kid. FOX & Fiends did NOT have to repeat that bit since it has started an anti Stewart frenzy on Facebook and elsewhere on the internet.

You know what? You walk out on a live track even under yellow conditions and you're on your own. What did that kid think he was going to do? Stop Stewart's car with his bare hand? Right now the only angle we have shows the kid standing in the car's path, jacked up on adrenaline and testosterone. Stewart got out of the way. The rest will be up to forensics.

Fuck you FOX "News" and eat shit. 100% tabloid grade bovine excreta. It shouldn't get political but FUX had to open their shyte gob.

[N2CHX]

I know you're all gonna disagree with me, but Stewart's always been a hothead and I think this time he crossed the line and it's going to bite him in the ass good.

[WØTKX]

Yea, he is a hothead, and so are a lot of competitive folks. It's why I never got into ski racing, and tired of competitive sports very young.

Free- skiing, frisbee throwing, hippy-dippyness is more fun, gosh-darn-it-ta-tall!
