Needs duct tape to stick.

Nah.....a bullet in the brain isn't even bad. No different than a car running over someone.

Rub some dirt on it and walk it off.

The fury unleashed here has sent shockwaves angrily through the internetz and injured 3 innocent bystanders.

People being on the track after a wreck like that is common. And it is not likely that Tony tried to run him over and kill him, more likely is he tried to send a message and things went further than expected.

No idea if Tony saw him or not, but saying that guy being on the track is the last thing you're expecting is just false. The guy in front of Tony said he didn't see him until the last second. Another driver came out and thinks it wasn't an accident and that he could see the guy plain as day.

You did see the statement by a pit member for the car that was in front of Stewart right? (posted here a few pages back). He said that blue car driver didn't see the kid until he was almost on him and he had to react quickly when he did finally see him. Same track, same black suit, same lighting, same visibility and HE didn't see him.

Give up trying to educate everyone on what your online buddies say is and isn't possible and look at the actual evidence here and the statements of actual people around it.

So why did Tony punch the gas then?

 

[Peter Gozintite]

just a thought, but being as it is a dirt track, wouldnt visibility through a windshield(dont even know if they have them) or helmet visor being dirty further be inhibited?

 

[Peter Gozintite]

So why did Tony punch the gas then?

I was thinking maybe he saw the kid at the last second, and thought he was going to throw something at him.

That is exactly what I think he was trying to do.

Do I know that for sure? No. But knowing Tony Stewart's past, it seems logical.

 

[Peter Gozintite]

Nobody knows but him, and nobody probably ever will. Even he tells the world the truth they wont believe him. I dont know for sure, but for anyone to pretend they do is fucking absurd.

That's what the investigation is for. I'm only speaking out to people who have come to conclusions already based on nothing but one camera view of a situation from across the track that had left Ward when the car in front of Stewart nearly hit him and only just got back right before the accident. Anyone trying to say they know what happened or what the intent was is speculating off incomplete information.

It has been said that when you punch the gas on those they turn sharply left, but I have no idea how accurate that is.

What we DO know is the car in front of him didn't see the kid until he was almost on top of him and he too had to react to avoid him. That says this notion going around that Stewart had for sure seen him and knew what he was doing is likely wrong. He likely didn't see him any sooner than the car in front of him did going through that corner. How little time he had and what he did with that time are the subject of the investigation.

Yes, and the driver of the car in front of the car said he saw him plain as day.

Racer says crash that killed Kevin Ward Jr. was avoidable | New York Post

“I seen Kevin clear as day. Nobody else ran into him, either,” he told NBC News, noting he was close enough to see Ward’s face after the 20-year-old stepped out of his car, angrily gesturing at Stewart.

So I don't know what he saw, only Tony Stewart does.

And while you and others might want to sit around and claim I don't know what I'm talking about, others have since come forward and said the same things. As I said before, the back end kicks out and the car pivots on the front tires because there is an initial loss of grip in the rear tires. And while the car turns on the rear tires a good bit at speed, hitting the gas is likely what caused him to get hit as the front wheels missed him, but the back end hit him tire first.

Hitting the gas will cause the car to rotate sharply left. The pivot point of the car is at the front of the car, so the front tires will basically stay in the same line, but the rear end kicks out due to loss of grip in the rear tires.

And that is the whole problem as it was the rear end of the car that hit the guy which likely wouldn't have happened if he hadn't hit the gas. Since the front tires missed, it was the act of hitting the gas causing the car to rotate and sling the back end around that hit him.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Yea.....I was gonna say.

I could have sworn the driver in front of Tony said he saw him clearly.

I don't know where in the hell this idea that he didn't see him until the last second came from.

 

[Psych-Ward]

More than likely and from rumors I have heard, Tony didn't like the thought of this kid calling him out so he was going to buzz him (punched the gas) only he wasn't expecting the rear of the car to kick out the way it did.

I'm not a Tony Stewart fan but it is going to be very tough for him to live with what he did, and honestly may very well end his career.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I've personally never liked Tony Stewart. He's always been a fucking huge prick and every body knows it.

Even with that being the case, I'm still giving him the benefit of the doubt. I don't think he could have possibly at any point thought "I'm gonna murder this 20 year old kid right now."

I think it was an accident, but if Tony tries to say he didn't see him......that is going to piss me off.
