but if you drive a vehicle with a locked differential on pavement, you’ll quickly realize that a vehicle with a locked rear end is prone to understeer.

Kevin Ward ignored five, yes five, race cars, and managed to charge at Stewart. You should read the court documents.

A toxicology report showed that Ward had smoked marijuana within hours of the race. Ontario County’s district attorney said it was enough to impair Ward’s judgment. An expert concluded that there was enough in Ward’s system to blunt “the protective tendency to avoid some forms of risk taking.”

Were you there? Are you Smoke? From the only independent witness:

No, its not. You just trigger too easy. 

Kevin Ward wasn’t walking toward those four cars in an asinine attempt to confront their drivers. Kevin Ward killed himself by walking on a hot racetrack. 

If you’re looking for dirt tracks to run on you don’t build them in cities, you go to them, and they are invariably in rural locales. Would it be better if they said “Redneck America”?

Calm down there - lets be civilized.

Kevin Ward killed Kevin Ward.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Toxicology found marijuana in his system, but that doesn’t mean he was high. Marijuana can stay in your system for up to 60 days (but for most people will be gone way before then).

“all using the same car”

This is genuinely what I hate about Nascar and modern racing in general. Let’s run stock cars with homologation requirements. Maybe one specific car dominates, maybe it doesn’t, but I want to see some mechanical ingenuity on the track. Driver skill is very important, yes, but what if we had

The return of NASCAR has produced the best stretch of racing I’ve seen from the series in a long time. The better-funded teams essentially win races with car set-up given the time and opportunity.

There are like 10 unique tracks and the rest are copy's of atlanta. Nascar season could be shortened to about 14 races on a 2 months schedule and it would actually be pretty exciting. Too many cookie cutter tracks it is very redundant 

I can’t believe that there are people that still think that way. Unless, your car is on fire don’t jump out on a hot race track.  It’s literally one of the first things they teach in racing.

Kevin Ward killed Kevin Ward.  If you get high and walk out onto a hot track, that’s about what you get.  Stewart didn’t kill anyone.  He was driving his car on a track when a hot head charged him on foot.  

Now playing

Said this on Reddit. The idea is taking the best of NASCAR and putting it out there for what the “casual” fan wants. Short tracks, short races, beating and banging, and fully balanced cars.

This is what people like to see if you’re not a hardcore fan. It’s like watching local short track races. Beat the bumper off

Aston used to have elegant style — they were simply gorgeous. Now? Not so much.
