Tony Stewart Apparently Hits Walking Driver With Sprint Car

[pabartl787]

No, I said I don't think Tony at any point was thinking "I'm going to hit/kill this kid".

I think what happened was Tony wanted to scare him and went too far.

With absolutely ZERO evidence to support that.

OK, let's tally the votes.

People who hate Tony Stewart = "It's Stewart's fault."
People who like Tony Stewart = "It's Ward's fault."
People who don't give a shit either way about Tony Stewart = "It's Ward's fault."

10 feet? Not from the view of the video I saw.

ok, maybe 15 or 20. He was about 6-7 steps away

 

[dirtboy068]

So you think Tony hit him on purpose?

no way it was on purpose. the people ive known that have been around tony says hes a major ass but nothing like hes complete crazy or anything.

I like Tony Stewart. Since Dale Sr died he is the only driver that has had the balls to stand up to Nascar and say something is screwed up publicly. I also like a driver that runs his own team, even though he has some big backing otherwise. Reminds me of the Alan Kulwicki.

let me fix the last one


people who know nothing about racing = its ward's fault

There is zero evidence to support things either way. In the end, only Tony Stewart really knows.

But, all this stuff about not being able to see him, hitting the gas helps the car turn and such is provably false.

 

[HammerDown]

some people cant get that though their head. i suspect they no nothing about racing.

First this.

the vid is too inconclusive.

Then this.

 

[dirtboy068]

With absolutely ZERO evidence to support that.

true, unless there is another vid that proves other wise.

I don't hate him but I don't understand how people can think that there's no possibility that he was trying to go close by the guy. His past indicates that he could do something like that

If this is Stewart's fault, where is the outrage from the racing community, dead kid's family or authorities?

Tony STewart was nice to me when I was a 9 year old kid with a garage pass. Dale Sr and Tony both talked to me and my grandpa like they knew us all our lives. Signed autographs. Posed for pictures and joked around.

It was at the Atlanta race when Dale Sr edged Bobby Labonte in a photo finish back in 2000.

 

[Chewbaccer]

But at any rate, my personal opinion of Tony Stewart has nothing to do with my view of this incident. You walk into traffic, it's your fault when you get hit.

I'm pretty sure Tony is like most humans and it's a mixture.

I never liked Jeff Gordon before, but my hatred for him came from that day when he didn't even acknowledge us.

 

[4down20]

The only driver I don't really like is Carl Edwards.

Other than that, I can't stand the Petty's.

what?

how could anyone be outraged at tony? the vid that's went viral doesn't get us the whole story. so , it wouldn't be smart to start pointing fingers either way just yet. just my opinion from reading other racing websites message boards, Facebook, Twitter, its split with people defending tony and others blaming him.

 

[pabartl787]

Mine are:
Carl Edwards (mostly from sending Brad K flying at Atlanta for no reason)
Kyle Busch
Denny Hamlin (complete hypocrite)

I can't stand Kyle Petty, but during my lifetime, he's never been relevant enough on the track to hate him as a driver. I never watched Richard Race, he was before my time, but I like him as a historical figure.

I hate Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson

I dislike Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin and Kasey Kahne

I like Kevin Harvick, Tony Stewart, Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman, Austin Dillon and Paul Menard

The rest I'm pretty well indifferent to. I could never hate Dale Jr, but at the same time I've never been a big fan either.
