I read a number of comments on “Deadspin” [experts all, no doubt] after this tragedy, however it came to be. One of them, a “tweet” I think, suggested Stewart had a “Go Pro” camera on his car and another said Stewart, allegedly, had his crew remove the right rear wheel and the left rear put in its place. What was Stewart thinking here? His intent? What might his crew say?
Hard to miss the fact that Stewart gunned the engine as he approached the kid. I’ve no idea what was in his mind and we may never but it darn sure makes me question his intent.
I don't follow NASCAR because it doesn't interest me.
People who do state that there is a reason why the cars have wings on them : to keep control, gain traction
At slow speeds , the vehicle is difficult to steer
There was a vehicle right in front of Stewart's car obstructing his vision
Stewart had a split-second to react to avoid the pedestrian (?) on the track
Gunning the engine is the fastest way to get traction to steer, especially if you are trying to get down closer to the inner circle.
Never wear black suit, during a night race , espcially if you are getting out of your car, and walk across a racetrack while the race is going .
Exactly
SOP to remove RR Tire and put a LS Tire on a Sprint Car to put on the trailer. There is a major size difference (diameter and width) between the 2 tires. This is done to make the car level and narrower to fit in trailer. This was nothing out of the ordinary. The Sheriff was there and aware of this.
There is no cover up, deceit or tampering of evidence going on here.
