So I guess Tony Stewart killed a guy tonight

[Serra]

I don't know much about racing, but is it a fair assumption that the speed Stewart was driving, no matter what he did, the collision would have killed Ward?

[NynJa]

Is it routine to get out of your car after you've spun out and challenge these speeding vehicles to stop? I'm pretty sure thats suicide.

Yeah but people are using the "gunned it" detail to show intent.

not really. he could have wanted to speed up to get by him before he got close enough to his car to be in danger.

also, drivers are supposed to stay in their cars unless there is an immediate danger, like the car being on fire. they aren't supposed to get out until the safety crews show up.

It isn't my assertion, I'm saying people in the camp that it was intentional are using that as their evidence: "We heard 'em gun it!"

[Headspace]

The only way we can stop bad guys who gun it are with good guys who gun it

Sounded like rev-matching on a down shift to me.....

I want to watch the video but I also don't cuz I don't like seeing peeps die or Gore

The guy gets tossed from the tire and ragdolls a bit, but you hardly see anything. Which is funny because everyone has been screaming they saw him "swerve intentionally", but the video doesn't show much to that effect. I'd guess most people saying that already had their minds made up reading the headline.

Sadly, it's more common than you'd think.

[Brill Weave]

If anything it looked like he attempted to swerve out of the way.

Has Tony Stewart been involved in any past related sketchy behavior that would make these Neckcar fans believe he attempted to give this dude a bump?

[FNH]

As far as vehicle to person contact? no.

But he has in the past, gone after people after wrecks in the same way this guy did. Fights in the garage, yelling, swearing, etc.

He is definitely a hothead but as FNH said, no vehicular homicide

I think it's possible he tried to whiz just past or graze the guy but that's complete speculation. I have a hard time thinking it was a complete coincidence that Stewart was the one to hit him

Well there was also this just two years ago:

Tony Stewart is a hot headed shit but I have a hard time believing he would intentionally try to kill a guy.

It wasn't. The kid that got hit walked dangerously close toward Tony's car as evidenced by video.

[Brill Weave]

I read something earlier today that said Stewart had been involved in two other accidents with younger drivers in Sprint series races. Think they were 19 and 15? The 15 year old I remember was a girl that got a compressed spine fracture or something similar as a result.

I watched Rush on Friday so I'm pretty qualified to comment on this and it is of my expert opinion that car racing is for fucking losers
