You’re nuts!
Ward was deliberately stepping into the path of the cars, and making wild gestures. He blew it.
Very true but also consider that in one of the videos you can see Stewart gun it just before he gets to Ward. (for some reason this version of the video seems to be getting taken down as fast as it goes up) I don't know about you but when a pedestrian steps out in front of me when I am driving I don't hit the gas, I instead slam on the brakes...
To me it sounds like stupid met stupid which equals Stupidity2
