he was shaken because he is worried he is going to jail and he is going going to jail plus he is going to get sued and the insurance co is going to non-scope him and he is going to be broke
Sometimes a person guns it to avoid an accident, if the guy was charging across the track, which it looks like he was, Stewart might have gunned it to be ahead of him
but, the car was angled to the outside of the track a little
spin in the dirt?
try to accelerate too fast?
.
.
or aiming to scare him and he misjudged it?
I have doubts he meant to hit him...
actually no, looking at it frame by fram as I could, Stewart didnt head to the outside until he hit the guy, like his tire was struck by the guy when he hit him and the car slid as he dragged the guy
So, also, look where the inside of the track is, Stewart was down inside and the guy was running to the inside
Looking at this view, I would not blame stewart, I would have to see a head on or from behind shot to make final judgement, but looks like Stewart hit huim by accident
EVERY racing event I have ever purchased a ticket for clearly states on the back that there is no Liability coverage for may happen to you there.
You buy the ticket—you take an INFORMED chance on what can happen to you.
The only DELIBERATE actions I can see in all of this is that the young man exited his car & walked into the path of other cars still running.
That pretty much sums it up...
