Herp derp, negligent discharge is a chargeable offense, just like vehicular manslaughter.

Tony Stewart needs to be banned from all forms of auto racing until both criminal and NASCAR investigations are completed.

After watching this again, it does look like everyone slowed down, so this was under yellow and Stewart did do something stupid too. Perhaps he did not try to run over the kid, but he didn't have to accelerate there.

Except stomping on the gas when a person is in front of him. You must work for Office Depot.

Yes, he was, but Stewart still had room, and he didnt go any further down. Also, Im pretty damn sure sprint cars have brakes. He hit the gas instead.

OK, so here's the thing: to all of you blaming Ward. No, he should not have been in the middle of track. He should have kept his cool. But how many times do we see drivers do exactly the same thing. Christ, Tony himself has done it during a NASCAR race. Also: "Hurrdurr black suit on dark track, Tony couldn't see him."…

You're a moron. They were under a yellow caution flag — that's not racing. He didn't charge it, he made his presence known to make a point, and Stewart CLEARLY saw him and gunned his motor to be the unadulterated prick asshole piece of shit he's known for being, and caught Kevin under a spinning tire. If Stewart had…

By your idiotic remark you are clearly a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

Rule no.1: always stay behind the car

Lock him up.

If you accidentally shoot someone during an argument you are still responsible for it happening. His brakes worked just as well as the wheel and throttle.

Hang him high, there's no place for his kind in a dangerous sport like this.

Why, exactly? For reporting a news story?

Well one thing that is definitely for sure... some of the tweets and comments on other sites are fucking discussing. People already Stephen A. Smithing.

I am totally blown away by you soulless pieces of shit who choose to joke about a 17 year old getting killed. Fuck each and every one of you.

I just saw in the comments that Stewart's nickname is Smoke? For real? I know nothing about him, (never heard of him,) but if he answers to "Smoke", he's a douche bag.

definitely*

Question: has Stephen A. Smith asked what the other driver could have done to not provoke Stewart from hitting him?

If there was any hint in your post that suggest you had any kind of even tenuous grasp of logic, I'd respond. As it stands nothing anyone else has pointed out has managed to change your cowardly position, and it's obvious that nothing I say will do the same. You use the fact that Ray Rice is only 5'8" as evidence that…

Fuck off, troll.
