In the video I saw a driver out of his car and walking with purpose down the slope of the track into the path of oncoming cars. That makes this, for me, more suicide than murder. Just sayin.
I agree. As fast as things happened, I don’t believe Tony Stewart had any time to react one way or the other.
Pretty sure the protocol after your collision with the wall is to either remain in your vehicle or exit and retreat to safety, not walk out exposed onto the racetrack and confront other drivers squirreling around the track at what must be close to 100mph — on dirt!
