Tony Stewart hits, kills driver Kevin Ward Jr. in Sprint Car Race

[Lakers Offseason]

FWIW here is the perspective of former Bloomington, Indiana sprint car driver Kevin Briscoe per his Facebook page:

"Thoughts and prayers are with the Kevin Ward family. Last night’s accident from a driver’s perspective: Tony did not do this on purpose and was only trying to avoid Kevin when he saw him at the last moment. You have to look at the whole situation not just that moment. Tony did nothing wrong in the incident the lap before just made a pass like drivers do a 1000 times. Kevin got over the cushion hit the wall and spun. Yes Tony took a lot of track but never hit Kevin a pass that happens every night in a sprint car. Tony has no clue that Kevin had even crashed when he is coming back around the track and has no reason to even be upset because he is unaware who the yellow is even for. Kevin is the very upset because he thinks Tony had crashed him, he gets out of his car with a black uniform and a black helmet. The track is black and not well lit Tony is not expecting someone to be in the middle of the track and sees him at the last moment gases to turn the car to avoid him and accidently hits him. You have to hit the throttle to turn a sprint car quickly. It was an unfortunate accident and was not on purpose. Thoughts and prayers for Tony, his family and friends."

So Stewart may have not even been aware that there was an issue with Ward

This all might be true. But Tony's hot head past is gonna be under a microscope and it's gonna show a dude who gets reckless ralph when he's behind a wheel.

I think Stewarts only defense can be that he "didnt see the kid until the last second, then tried to swerve and hit him on accident"

Not saying I buy that, but....

I could buy that
"NOT GUILTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"

How long before someone uses this in a rap track. Some shyt like tony Stewart on the track I kill muthafukkas

No matter what happens, Tony will never be seen in the same light. Can't be a jokester or as playful in victory. It's all fukked up now.

 

[duncanthetall]

There is literally no way you can prove that stewart meant to hit him. Dude is walking towards race cars and got hit. C'est la vie.

Whatever is the next battle rap event to happen, there will be at least 3 dudes with a punchline about it.

Damn this is messed up, I don't watch racing/nascar but dang get run over to death?! I have to admit going onto the race track like that was REALLY not a smart thing to do, I dunno if Tony really wanted to murk him or if it was a pure accident but I think ole boy deserve some jail time or something

At the end of the day...
