Never get into a gunfight with a knife.
Never get into a fist fight with a car.
NASCAR is the KKK of sports, don’cha know.
As usual the people who know the least about a subject have the most to say about it.
Now we are going to have a persecutor (prosecutor) salivating over the fact that he will have the opportunity to try a celeb and have his name all over the news. He is right now sifting through experts, expert?, to find one that will give him what he wants.
We will also have a televulture hounding the family with promises to get them monetary resolution for this tragedy. This article starts this process/.
Nope.
Kevin Ward Jr.’s choice to exit his car and walk across the track was insane
Yep.
It was the cause of his death.
It was night and the kid was dressed in black, as well.
How could I ever forget?
Bottom line, motor sports will eventually fall as NFL will due to pressure from the Left.
In the mean time motor sports will be forced to limit their racing vehicles to electric powered with large soft bumpers, driven by Pee Wee Hermen types at speeds not above 10 mph 
This writer only mentions NASCAR but this was a Sprint race. NASCAR had nothing
to do with it.”
That is a good point. I've been to the Daytona 500 a few times years ago, and have seen drivers get out of their cars to confront each other after an accident. I don't know what, if anything, was done as a disciplinary measure to discourage this sort of thing. I think multi-race suspensions for this kind of behavior is not out of line.
All they have to do is point to this thread.
Stewart wrecked the kid’s car then hamburgerized him.
Good. He deserved it. He was weak and stupid. Poor poor Tony.
I predict that in the very near future, NASCAR will announce stricter
punishments for running around on the track, fighting, etc.

NASCAR may well do that for their group but NASCAR has no control over the
Sprint Car groups. See Sprint Car Sanctioning Bodies:
http://www.sprintcarnews.com/zsanctioningbodies.html
This wasn’t a NASCAR race. It was sanctioned by the “Empire Super Sprint” organization. This is a regional group (limited to New York; may travel to Pennsylvania occasionally) that conducts “tour” races to tracks in New York.
A few NASCAR drivers, when they’re in town for the big race on Sunday, visit local dirt tracks to mix it up with the locals. Tony Stewart does / did this all the time, as have David Reutimann (his Dad, Buzzie, was a Superstar at our local NY dirt track in the 60’s), Carl Edwards, Jamie McMurray, Dave Blaney, J.J. Yeley, and others.
I don’t know if, after this debacle, that will continue or not.
targeted sports: football, hockey, auto racing
accepted sports: baseball, basketball, golf, tennis
the only reason basketball is tolerated is because of the race of the majority of its players.
Obviously the estupido thought he was playing some video game and had super powers. Guess he never thought about dogs that chase cars having an abbreviated time as a dog.
i am curious to know what kind of vision or view the drivers have out of these vehicles. Unless Stewart was told via radio that Ward was on the track, Stewart might have not seen Ward until the last second.
BINGO!
so have you joined up with isis yet?? u seem like the type
Mike
I absolutely meant NASCAR.
I’m sure the Sprint car people will do something too. But this wouldn’t be a national story, if it didn’t involve Tony Stewart. This may have happened on a dirt track, but its a “NASCAR” story....especially when people fish up old video of Stewart going out on the track (a NASCAR track) and doing practically the exact same thing Ward did.
As an aside, if you think NASCAR has no control over the Sprint car people....ask yourself if NASCAR has control over whether or not their big name racers go to the dirt tracks. If NASCAR wanted all the Sprint cars to have pink bows on top, the Sprint car people would be ordering ribbon.
Just goes to show you shouldn’t jaywalk...especially on a track full of race cars.
