I would not have expected them to take him into custody tonight in any event...would you? It seems like an incident that will take a LOT of investigation to make a case (if there is one to be made).
Bizarre and terrible situation to say the least, and I doubt Stewart will survive it from a public relations standpoint no matter the outcome of any criminal investigation.
I like Nascar and am a weird person in that I watch most of the races but don’t actually have a favorite driver. I’m from Iowa, so know quite a few people who race/sponsor Sprint cars down in Knoxville. I was telling my husband and a couple of his friends who were over about this...and everyone had the same reaction...wondering (yet again) WTH Stewart is doing racing at that level? He painted a target on himself (financially at least) and just got blown up.
Used to go to the Knoxville sprint car races as a kid back in the mid 70s with my uncle and grandpa in Carlisle. I remember rooting for a guy named Wolfgang.
