Well, this is a PR nightmare for NASCAR regardless of why it happened.

Condolences to the family.

Just can’t feature racing the next day after a fatality.....wow.

Sure is a PR nightmare for NASCAR.

It may even be the end of Tony Stewart's career, regardless of how the investigation ends. Aside from the obvious issues that have been raised here, there's also the question of why a top NASCAR driver would be competing in a race in a backwater dirt track to begin with.

This incident is the equivalent of Derek Jeter facing a police investigation over his role in a bench-clearing brawl at a beer league softball game where one of the participants in the brawl ended up dead.

No matter how you cut it, Tony Stewart comes out of this looking like a complete loser. His wallet is likely to reflect that, too.
