So caution means you can jump out of your car and run down the racetrack?

lol

You don’t stop during a yellow. He probably didn’t know the kid was running down the track until about a second before he hit him. You can’t “swerve” in those cars, nor do you have time to turn, nor run off the track, nor stop in the 1-2 seconds he had available. Even a street car would be hard pressed to do anything on a dry concrete road. This track is mud.

Its obvious you don’t know anything about these cars, stop before you hurt yourself.

The kid was PO’ed the professional Nascar guy clipped his a$$ vend and sent him into the wall wrecking his car and putting him out of the race. Getting out of the car was stupid, no doubt about it, but Stewart was only escalating the situation.

1-2 seconds to react? Count off how many seconds it is when the kid is pointing him out until the time he is dead. That is PLENTY of time to avoid that area completely and once he sees the kid is coming towards his car, get the heck away as far as possible.
