Tony Stewart may have hit/ran over someone

[boyd]

Just like when a pedestrian gets hit on 610 or Beltway 8 down here. The first question everyone in the world ask is wtf are you doing out of the car?! Don't get out of the car.

drivers get out of their race cars All the Time!

I'm not even saying he needs to go to jail. I'm saying Nascar needs to ban him from racing for awhile to try and stop his hot headedness.

Why would NASCAR ban Tony, this wasn't a Nascar race

I don't know if that's true but if so I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often then.

So what is your point? It's the same thing as jumping off a bridge into a river.... 1000 of kids have done it before, but 1 kid does it and breaks his back. Shouldn't do it.

Alright, the whole "it was dark" idea needs to end. The guys were going 2x as fast just a few laps before. If it was too dark to see a person on a yellow flag, it was to dark to be racing in the first place, period.

It was dark.

Just my thoughts - in real life, if I get in a minor argument with someone, they text someone saying we got in an argument, and then 5 minutes later I accidentally run over them because they jumped out in front of my car, it's going to be very hard to tell the cops there was no intent, they ran out in front of me, especially when they have someone else telling them that the person I killed and I were in an argument a few minutes before.

I feel like that's the same case here. You can't prove he did it with intent. But you also can't prove he did it without intent. Was he going to just try and scare him? Did he really NEVER see him the ENTIRE time the kid was outside of his car?

Do they not have spotters in sprint racing? Honest question, I don't know.

A while back, some guy was driving down our street throwing beer bottles out his window. My dad stepped into the street to try and stop the guy and make him pick them up. Multiple people from our neighborhood did the same thing and the guy just speed past them. However, for some reason, the guy decided to speed up, swerve to the side of the road, hit my dad, and ran. Luckily, my dad escaped with just a few bruises. In the end, the guy (who was a University of Iowa student) only got charged with leaving the scene of an accident, since my dad was intentionally in the road. Even though there were 5 witnesses to say exactly what happened, police said my dad was partially at fault according to the law.

What would be really nice is to get another video where it doesn't follow the 45 car and jerk back at the last moment. I want to see where tony was going into turn 1

It was dark.

Tony Stewarts car was black. So using everyones it was dark logic, the kid could've gotten out of the way, he just didn't see the car.

From seeing what some of the eyewitnesses have said, saying he was driving towards him and hit the throttle, and then swerved, this was my initial reaction.

When you get a caution. The first thing in your mind is. There will be people on the track, So watch out for them.

Except he was eye balling TS the whole time so that doesn't work

Can't be done. Young hotheads become middle-aged hotheads and finally end up as geriatric hotheads yelling a caregivers in nursing homes.

Every race car driver knows exactly what happened here. You don't pee into the wind, you don't mess with Tony.

that's true... but maybe the 2nd though was okay we have gone around a full caution lap already no one is out there lets check the car over. Hell even the 45 car almost hit him.

Very funny but true.

So you agree with me when I said Shouldn't Do it.

Might be true, but he probably should have just not been on the track in the first place.

True - usually when they are in the garage area

Whole lot of stupid in this thread
