Saying Stewart killed someone implies Stewart had a choice and could have avoided it. It would be more appropriate to say Stewart's *car* killed someone.

The young man's temper doesn't seem to enter into your logic. The young man's temper is what got him killed. Nothing else.

You are absolutely the least informed person on the entirety of Jalopnik. Sprint cars at a short track like that don't have spotters to inform the drivers of what's going on around them, the cars don't have mirrors and Stewart never actually hit Ward's car. Stewart came around the track after just going under yellow…

I guess I just don't get that line of reasoning. Sure, if Ward put Stewart into a wall I could understand that Stewart would try to teach the kid a lesson about running with the big dogs, but it was the opposite way around (and, from what I've seen, the initial wreck was a genuine racing incident and not anything with…

If this ever gets seen than great, but i give you Jack Hewitt. As I posted a few weeks ago, is probably the True King of sprint cars. look him up. but he's given the best interview ever. somewhat NSFW but very awesome.

I don't really have feelings about Stewart either way, but what Ward did was inconceivably stupid. You don't exit your car on a hot track. And you don't step up to a goddamn sprint car from the outside of a turn.

You are so right case closed. A completely enraged and foolish Kevin Ward Jr. steps out of his race car on foot to challenge another race car, and guess what, the fucking race car won. He blindly let his emotions control him, and he died because of it. Nobody would have died on the track if he did not step out of…

That's a problem with a lot of the arguments on BOTH sides. Virtually no one knows a damn thing about sprint cars.

That guy just made me mad, I think I will get out of my car and walk across a race track and tell him about it. Darwin 2014 winner of the year.

last night, I was at a different track in NY watching a similar series. A few things became clear to me watching those races. Just because we can see one angle of what happened in semi clear video, it doesn't mean that Tony had a clear line of vision. Track lighting is incredibly shitty.

Bring back the roadster?

kahne drove for evernham motorsports in 2006, years before that team had anything to do with petty in 2009

Audi guy was initially being a dick by pulling in the cyclist zone (I hate those stupid areas, all they do is favor the progress of slower vehicles over faster ones, which makes no sense from a traffic engineering perspective, but anyway), but after that, I blame the cyclist completely. He made it a point to cycle way…

The Snowball Derby at 5 Flags Speedway, Pensacola, Fla. Supposedly there will be some video streaming of it somewhere. Will update if found.

The more I watch other motorsports, especially F1, the more respect I get for NASCAR.

If only this question was about NASCAR ...

See what you get when you fuck with the SPEED channel? LOL.

They should make a movie about this guy. Maybe starring Richard Pryor.
But release it in 1977, because people in 2013 just aren't ready for it.
