Right, because the luck of the draw makes you a super hero, and everyone else who just dies from it is somehow less of a person.

not a tragic or accident.. fucker walked on a hot track, thats comparable to running across the freeway with high speed cars coming along. Gaza is tragic , this is not.

intent is criminal. negligence is civil. yes - Ward's negligence dramatically outweighs any negligence on the part of Stewart, if he was negligent at all.

but between who.. the Ward family and Stewart? or the track? ..or the circuit? there's no duty to avoid people jumping in front of you on a high speed dirt track - so no way Stewart was negligent. likewise, no way Ward wasn't negligent.

that's not accurate. a civil case would be based on Stewart being negligent and violating a standard of care. first they'd have to establish that he saw the kid. then they'd have to establish that he didn't act reasonably or make an effort to miss him. he has not duty to be looking for people jumping into the caution…

Yellow caution means that the cars are going 50 miles an hour instead of 150. That's still highway speed and enough to kill pedestrians in almost any impact. On top of that sprint cars have unique suspension setups to make them more stable when sliding around corners while putting down 1,000 horsepower. They don't…

Well said...including the racer on the video. This is a very tragic scenario on all accounts. Sadly the armchair warriors out there will likely haunt Stewart for the rest of his life. My hope - this is a lesson for all racers out there. Following an incident - if you have to get out of the car -do it and off the…

And if you jump in front of the car, you're not exactly standing there are you? I may be wrong, but if you throw yourself in front of a vehicle, you are legally responsible for the outcome. And besides, why are you treating this as though it's a standard roadway? Ward knew he was supposed to stay in his vehicle: he…

"So I'm truly sorry, but running up to a racing, notoriously squirrely sprint car on a track looking to confront the driver is immensely fucking stupid. It appears to me that Ward was in the wrong, completely lost his cool, and made a fatal mistake".....

Say it was Stewart who gunned the engine... He probably did it to avoid hitting him or to avoid him throwing something at him... Why would Stewart give up everything he has to kill a 17 year old... Think about it people... As for his decision to race today... He has obligations and contractual agreements to race...…

Hehe, VA resident here. They WILL have someone bring you back. And you WILL serve the time. This state is 50 Shades of F*cked Up.

It actually ends well pretty frequently, you just don't hear about it.

Go back to Jezebel.

31, married, with same woman for 7 years. Loving relationship, great sex life. Thanks for playing.

this is ridiculous. He's an abuser for sending a SPREADSHEET? They had sex three times in two months, there's no allegation this man ever tried to force himself on her and he's somehow dangerous? And you talk about having a mature conversation. Thats rich! Try being mature yourself. Your reply is sensationalist…

This isn't Jezebel. Your batshit insane regugitated gender studies rhetoric is not a "thing" here. Go back to your echo chamber.

The batshit-crazy Jezzies who have invaded Deadspin to troll the comment feed because this story was cross-posted over there do not speak for "women". No one is interested in "learning" anything from you nutters.

Bacon has turned many a Jew.

It will be interesting to see if any airbus employees traveled to the area recently
