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
I am sure he did, he meant to scare the kid and killed him instead, still malicious intent on Stewart’s part
That's the way it looks to me also. The car swerved AFTER the wheel hit the guy.
