Who had a clear line of sight? Certainly not Stewart.....you don’t know this because you most likely have even seen a winged sprint car in real life, much less sat in one or been out on the track with one.

The video was shot from a great distance, from a very low angle in poor light conditions. Even with those hinderances, I watched the video and knew with 100% certainty that Stewart could not have seen him. I know this because I have sat in a dirt track sprint car and have spent many, many nights walking on a dirt…

Who was the angry one? Certainly not the guy who had no idea why the caution was out on his first trip past the accident scene. Remember that sprint cars do not have rear view mirrors or radios and there was no contact between the two cars.

Would you prefer the statement that Kevin Ward Jr suffered death by stupidity?

Personally, I don’t think Ward Jr smoked pot before he got into the car. I believe that he consumed too many edibles which have a delayed and much stronger affect.

Freakouts have been documented from the overconsumption of edibles, in one Colorado case (that has forced legislation for better labeling) a gentleman…

Is this a young and dumb lawyer or an old and cocky one? It is obvious that he knows NOTHING about dirt track sprint car racing and is starting to look like an ass. He might be screwing himself out of an easy settlement and into slander charges.

Never mind, I just looked him up. He is a bible thumper from Texas that…

If you have never sat in the seat of a winged sprint car inside a full containment seat with a helmet full of tear offs at night on a banked track....STFU because you have no idea what you are talking about.

What about that video (shot from a distance, from a low angle and under poor light conditions) convinces you that it was intentional?

I watched the video and knew instantly that Smoke could not have seen him.

Why do you find it hard to believe that Stewart did not see him?

Black firesuit, dark track, full containment seat, helmet full of tearoffs, wing panel that drops on the right front (especially when in forward position), car on the bottom of banking/stoned kid running at it from above, car in front has to swerve at…

How do you know this? How much do you know about dirt track sprint cars?

There was no manslaughter involved, a kid full of drugs flipped out and tried to tackle a moving racecar. have you not been paying attention?

One possible reason is that most likely “insert millionaire twam owner here” ‘s planes were all in Pocono and Tony’s was most likely already near Indy on Sunday afternoon.

No, I think it was just a matter of timing and logistics. Wife and kids in Colorado, brother in Indy, hospital in NE Pennsylvania....no time to spare.

I told you that he didn’t put out press releases! If an elderly gentleman (midget racing hall of fame president, I cannot remember his name) telling me that “Tony Stewart bought this wheelchair for me and I have never even met him” is considered “hearsay” then so be it.

If you need some sort of media article, check…

Correct, Smoke has been doing things like this for a long time. The first time I witnessed it was 2001-ish when he purchased an electric wheelchair for an old retired racer he had never met. He has made his plane available to racers and non-racers alike at least since 2004-ish. He has been known to run up charity…

I have seen it first hand when the recipients have told me and second hand thru friends and news stories. From purchasing a special wheelchair (or other equipment) to making his airplane available to just plain handing over cash to someone raising money for a good cause, Tony helps when he can but doesn’t talk about…

Tony donates a hell of a lot of money to charity....he doesn’t put out a press release every time so you are excused for not knowing that.

That sounds right, if I remember right it was described as a solid substance. No matter what, it was a blatant attempt to cheat...no where near a grey area. NASCAR went very light on Mikey, if they would have been consistent with their penalties the team would have folded almost immediately.

That team should have been allowed to die in it’s first year. If Michael would have been given appropriate penalties when he tried to use jet fuel to get into the Daytona 500, that team would have never made it past the first year.

Mikey is just too much of a moron to own/operate a team. Kauffman propped up the team…

I looked at the travel schedule and assumed that all times were local at the track in question. IE, I saw a 2 hour plane flight and assumed that with the time difference between Spa and Pocono that it was actually an 8 hour flight.

Usually the US F1 commentators (Matchett, Hobbs, Diffey) are sitting in a US studio calling the race via TV monitors and the F1 feed. Why was the decision made to put them at the track for this weekend?
