I watched a slow motion version of the video earlier today. As other's have posted, when Tony blipped the throttle his car swerved AWAY from Ward, not into him. It spun to the left, or down on the track instead of to the right or up the track as we would assume. And you simply cannot tell what happened to Ward. Did he slip on the slick track just as he approached Tony's car and slide under Tony's right rear tire? Did he slip and fall into the wing? Unless some video of that side view of the accident appears, we will never know.
As it stands, I don't see how anyone can say that Tony 'intentionally' ran into him.

This sucks for every party involved. It sucks when someone dies in racing....period. That type of racing is the only roundy round that I can watch.

I relayed released information. Facts, statements, etc. I wrote the PD report as it was written without embellishment or implication. I didn't like how it was written either, but so what, that's how it was written. I would have directly quoted it, but closed the page prior to posting. Interesting how people, like you, take things personal when it doesn't support your narrative. It's a hotheaded reaction, but not unexpected.

First, I've read all of the replies to this thread and first and foremost, prayers to the Ward family and to Tony as well.
Secondly, I do believe 63Banshee has MORE than quantified HIS OWN ignorance with multiple responses. Give it a rest!

Number of responses is directly proportional to ignorance. How enlightening that is. Thanks for sharing. Learn that reading the back of a Skynyrd album?
I'm still wondering who said Stewart intentionally hit Ward. Number of people have stated this happened here. I haven't seen it. |

Would be helpful to know the distance from the camera to Stewarts car. Considering the speed of sound, 340 meters per second, the delay could be a full second. Not having video showing more to the right lessens what can be learned from this, however.

Also, assuming it was Stewart's car heard on video. It probably was, but I share some doubt with others unless more evidence come about to support.

That sounds like you saying he hit him on purpose. Three times in one post.

I believe that 99% of all humans looking at that clip with no information on the background story whatsoever would have the same reaction to it...
"What the hell is he doing walking out in front of those cars? He's gonna get killed!" Case closed.

No, I think he screwed the pooch. Meant to show up Ward, to kick up dirt like a dog after taking a dump, but miscalculated. Did he turn that corner with intent to physically hit Ward with any part of the car, no, but that's what happened. If I thought Stewart intended on hitting Ward I would have said just that.

Yes, his intentional actions, i.e. hotdogging.

Wasn't presenting a defense case. Plenty of others here for that. Some of what has come up in this thread wouldn't have without dissent. I think there is much interesting information between the lines here.

I think it would be about as easy to prove that Ward was upset about the wreck and committed suicide as it would be to prove that Stewart was upset about it and committed homicide...negligent or otherwise.

Fact ward is dead because he was stupid. He pulled a boneheaded move(showing his ass) because he wrecked on HIS TRACK by an outsider.

Did I say I "know?" I didn't even say "kick up dirt on him [Ward]." Read what is written and not what's in your head as your eyes scan a sentence. And stop trolling me like this is something personal. Ridiculous.
