Apparently you enjoy watching someone die on video. I don’t. I’ve talked to people who saw the whole thing and they’ve told me the part where Kevin is sucked under the wheel and thrown to his death doesn’t add anything to the video. I’ve watched everything except that.

With everyone still on the track racing to get position before the pace car came out, the only people who saw Kevin playing matador were those who barley missed him, and that’s because Kevin avoided them to get to Tony’s car who just like those ahead of and behind him were paying attention to the car ahead of them looking for an advantage. He was also just coming out of a power slide around the corner. The same corner he and Kevin were mixing paint on the previous lap when he lost the gamble and got put in the wall and out of the race. Too bad, it happens almost every sprint car race there is. The fact that he got out of his car to confront a race car and driver who were still in the race shows that he had no business being in that kind of race in the first place. Tony did not run him over with the front of his car, and he wasn’t on the lookout for a pedestrian. Kevin got in the way of the back side because it was still out there from the corner. It’s the rear tire he went under. If Tony quits racing or is banned for the rest of his life, it’s going to be terrible for his team. They all had a steady job and were bringing paychecks home to support their families. I watched the whole thing because I knew the regular nascar fans would have their knives out for Tony Stewart because he’s from Indy Racing. I wanted to see what really happened. It’s not as graphic as you think it is, but it is still sad. It’s not a pleasure to see any living thing hit by a car. If you don’t want to watch it, fine. Just don’t write about not seeing what happened and then start telling us what happened.
