I forgot what channel I saw it on last nite but the way they stated it, it sounded more like tony Intentionally went after and hit him.

I saw the video this morning and it looks more like other driver ran out in front of him.

I did not see the whole video Nor was I present at the scene so I could not say for sure.

I found the full video. The cnn news clip stopped early which gave me the impression that some young punk got out of his car looking for trouble and got exactly what he wanted.

In the full clip, tony goosed the throttle when passing the guy. The *** end kicked out and hit him. Its hard to say if it was an accident or not because tony stewart is a PROFESSIONAL driver. A damn good one at that. This will get interesting

It sure looked like he blipped the throttle to send the car towards him. It also looks like the kid was running up the track to get away from tony's car. I highly doubt he wanted to hit him, maybe more scare him. Its a sad ending though.

I think he had an incident at the same track a year or two ago too.

Holy ****..... if I was on the jury he would get manslaughter. The guy was in the wrong place, but tony is still at fault in this one for me.
