Tony Stewart will not face charges in deadly crash

#37

Quote:A driver who was there made a statement that supports my opinion:

 

 "A witness to Saturday night’s crash, the sprint car driver Tyler Graves, told Sporting News that Stewart would have been able to see Ward from his car and that Stewart hit the throttle as he got close to Ward. “When you hit a throttle on a sprint car, the car sets sideways,” Graves said. “It set sideways, the right rear tire hit Kevin, Kevin was sucked underneath and was stuck under it for a second or two.”

 

(The bolding was mine for emphasis, it was not in the original article)

Did I say "Not possible"?  I said a case could be made.    You can hear Stewart hit the accelerator under yellow when you should be maintaining a safe speed and watching for safety teams etc on track (you have to EXPECT people to be on track after an incident) so claiming he didn't see him is still negligent.  Again, I think a case can be made and argued.   

 

I gave my opinion.  It differs from yours. Deal with it, or not, its up to you.

 

Let me guess, you're a Tony Stewart fan?
 

He was stuck under it for a second or two?  Is that what you saw?

 

I saw him get hit and fall back pretty quickly.  I didn't think he got stuck under anything.
