And Tony's already back to racing! Guy's got a true competitor's spirit.

Nevermind, the team manager cancelled it... Someone else is driving.
That video is so gruesome btw. |

I really don't want to believe it was intentional. But..

I think he just meant to frighten him or maybe spray dirt on him with some wheel spin. But he clearly got too close to Ward, opened the throttle too much, and hit him. So he probably didn't want to hit the guy, but Tony's a fucking asshole piece of shit so who knows.
Ward should've never approached him, which is a fair point. It's just completely avoidable, which is why it's such a tragedy. It looks like vehicular manslaughter though, even though it was a race. |

I thought this was clear. Not sure why you're struggling with my perspective:

If he had any idea of "scaring" this kid, then that's depraved indifference murder in lots of states. At the least, criminally negligent homicide or manslaughter. He's in jail for a while.

Never ever get out of your race car. Ever.
I wonder if he will be charged. |

intentional or not, this guy shouldn't be allowed back in a race car again.

He also owns a team that Ryan Newman, Kurt Busch, and Danica Patrick race for.
I'm weirdly shaken by this. |

For fun. He shattered his leg in one of those races last year and missed the second half of the NASCAR season. Probably should have taken that as a sign.

Ward should've never been anywhere near where he was. Unless a DA wants his name in headlines there won't be any charges here - no way can you say it was in any way intentional. Nothing in that video shows he gunned down a dude. IMO he was attempting to avoid Ward but Ward got too close. Poor lightning + bad vision out of the car + a guy in a dark suit = hate to see anything I'd think.
It's a terrible deal. |

I think the caution flag was a good enough sign.

Stewart did nothing to avoid him. Also there's no reason he opened the throttle like that. None at all.

I think it's pretty clear his view was obscured.
Cars don't stop during a caution. There is no expectation that a person will be walking on the track walking through traffic. |

He went a whole lap under caution before hitting him.
Duo, do you really think he meant to hit him? |

You have to be kidding me. He floored it.
1. His car ACCELERATES abruptly 2. The sound coincides with this forward sudden acceleration 3. The vehicle accelerates so hard it actually loses traction and goes sideways He lost control of it he opened the throttle so far. He didn't even have it pinned that hard when he spun Ward out. It's very obvious he pressed the accelerator and did not steer away from Ward or hit his brakes. Hit him? No. Mess with him? Considering he got out of his car and threw his helmet at another driver's car in the past, yes. I think he meant to spit dirt at him or shut him up with some engine noise, car went too far sideways, tire caught him, now Ward's dead. |

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i've read that sprint cars have no transmission (only one gear), so that rules out the idea that the increased engine noise was from down shifting. also, he fishtailed as he hit him, which indicates loss of rear wheel traction, not something that would have happened coming out of a turn unless he opened the throttle or intentionally swerved.
