    Will this be the end of Tony Stewarts racing career?

    I don't follow racing that closely but what a tragedy.

    http://www.ksl.com/?sid=31077592&nid...from-the-track

    The collision was as common as any in racing. Kevin Ward Jr.'s car spun twice like a top, wheels hugging the wall, before it plopped backward on the dimly lit dirt track.

    In a sport steeped with bravado, what happened next was another familiar, but treacherous, move: Wearing a black firesuit and black helmet, the 20-year-old Ward unbuckled himself, climbed out of the winged car into the night and defiantly walked onto the track at Canandaigua Motorsports Park.

    He gestured, making his disgust evident with the driver who triggered the wreck with a bump: three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart.

    I saw the footage earlier.

    Pedestrian vs. sprint car.

    In this case, pedestrian didn't have the right-of-way.

    Shouldn't be a career-ender for Tony Stewart. He wasn't to blame.

      A career ender for Ward, not Stewart

          Can someone clue in on what happened a little bit more here?

          He seems to be pointing at one car (I assume Stewart) before he appears to be clipped by the rear wing of said car, he then gets hit by another car and is clearly killed.

          Am I seeing the video right?

          There seems to be a lot of mentions for Tony Stewart, either he clipped him and another car killed him, or he was the guy in the car that killed him, in which case he wouldn't have seen him IMO.

            The driver of the #13 car that spun (Ward) was struck and thrown by the right rear tire of Tony Stewart's #14 car after Ward walked onto the track to confront Stewart. Stewart didn't have much time to react as the car in front of him may have blocked his view until it swerved to avoid Ward.

            A poorly lit racetrack, unexpected person on foot and limited time to react was the cause from what I've seen and heard.

            Although Stewart chose not to race today I do not expect that this will be the end of his career at all.

                  I read earlier that he blipped the throttle to throw dirt on or scare the driver on the track... So if that is true, he does have to take some responsibility for it.

                      Whether it was intentional or not, Kevin Ward is at fault for puffing his chest on a race track with thousands of pounds of metal whizzing by. Whose to say Stewart clipped him on purpose? Only he will ever know.

                        Stewart's my favorite driver. That being said I have never been a fan of "slumming it" in auto racing. By this I mean racing against the general public at small tracks. Stewart and others show up at these races with unlimited budgets, advanced skill levels in driving and full-time professional mechanics.






                        Kevin's World; Kevin Ward, aspiring cart and dirt track racer primarily sponsored by the family's local painting business, Westward Painting Co.




                        Tony's World; Tony Stewart, Former Indy Car Racing Champion and 3 time NASCAR champ.
                        Stewart-Haas Racing has almost a $100,000,000 per year in revenue. Gene Haas his racing partner and financial backer is sole owner of Haas Automation a world leader in machine tools with 2012 revenue just shy of One Billion Dollars.

                        Tony, 3 time NASCAR Champ.


                        Tony, Indy Car Champ.



                        Stewart and others race on dirt tracks as a hobby or for fun between their super-speedway NASCAR races. What could go wrong mixing the two, right? And from a competitive point of view if Stewart wins at a dirt track so what, he should have.

                            The ironic thing, is Stewart has done the same thing. He's walked out after a crash and thrown his helmet at another car.
                            In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                              But he didnt do it standing in the middle of the track.

                                He threw his helmet at Matt Kenseth who was driving under 50 mph in the pit-road area during a caution. Stewart never went on the track.

                                  Wrong.. Last year he missed several weeks of NASCAR races cause he broke his leg in a sprint car. He loves dirt track racing cause he loves the real racing it brings..

                                  I grew up going to dirt track sprint car racing every Saturday night.. If you have never seen a dirt track race you wouldn't understand this..

                                  This kid wanted his 15 min of fame by walking in the middle of the track and calling out a big name.. Problem is on the dirt these cars slide around..

                                    Call me crazy, but if you have millions of dollars and potentially dozens if not hundreds of people relying on you each week, you should probably pick a hobby that has a lot less chance of you getting seriously hurt, killed or involved in something that could cause a major disruption in that.

                                      … Something I should have said in my post about why mixing pro/locals isn't a good fit.


                                      I've been to many, many short/dirt tracks and the racing is great. I've also been to a track that Stewart owns, Eldora Speedway, and watched him race. Yea it's fun to watch but I still feel pro's don't mix well. Same as having Miguel Cabrera on your local baseball team.

                                        Been told that Stewart has wrecked 3 times before on this track, but then again, the idea of what this kid did is compared to playing on the freeway.

                                        Stewart represents a company, that company has to keep going, it will not stop because of one idiot!
                                        Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                        think about that

                                          Looks like he swerved... The whole thing totally sucks for everyone involved. I did wonder what the fuck type of race this was when I saw the clip.

                                                  maybe. but what happened was a fluke, & frankly given how kevin ran onto the track, & another car had to avoid him, it coulda been anybody who ran over this kid.

                                                  pro race car drivers have it in their blood, no different than any other pro athlete. telling them to not do their passion on the side, just to avoid a 1 in a million shot, is not gonna fly with stewarts personality type.

                                                  an incident like this though will certainly cause debate by sponsors as to whether the risk of these side races are worth the trouble.

                                                    i don't think it'll be the end for stewart. Although I'm sure he's got enough money to retire now but he won't. i could see him giving up the sprint cars though,thats not his cash cow anyway.he'll probably end up commentating for the sprint circuit here and there.Ultimately it sure looks like it was the pedestrians fault,so in that case i see no reason for him to be kicked out or retire from racing all together.

                                                      It's a recipe for a disaster. You should not un buckle and rant in the track. Wait for him in the pit and do a fist fight there.

                                                        It's a tragedy that a young guy lost his life this way but he was an idiot, he got out of his car to confront a big time driver to try and get some more fame, he was dressed in all black on a badly lit track on a bend, madness in my opinion. Regardless of everyone saying this drivers career won't be over, this is going to have an effect on him, he won't be the same person ever again.

People who watch this series like clockwork would know how common that is, or isn't. I dunno. Never liked Stewart much as a driver because he's a notorious hothead who needs a day or two to calm down after a stubbed toe.

The hobby racing Tony does now he did before IndyCar or NASCAR racing became a factor in his life. He owns several race teams, including Sprint Car Teams, and as L-Pink mentioned 1 of the crown jewel tracks in Dirt and Sprint car racing Eldora Speedway.

A fierce competitor, but also a outstanding philanthropist.

                                                                                        All accidents wouldn't have happened "if only.."

                                                                                            yup! This whole thing is BS! If you haven't ever seen a sprint car race in person you would have no idea what you are seeing on a youtube video.. Sprint cars have been drifting kings decades before there was a word for drifting..

                                                                                            From the video you can't tell for sure if it's his engine that you hear rev up cause it is on the other side of the track and there were cars not in this picture that were right in front of this guy taping it.. Also if he wanted to get away from this guy walking in front of him he would need to gas it to get his car to move up or down on the "clay" track

                                                                                            On the dirt is a totally different game from asphalt and these sprint cars are very heavy and are easily tipped over on their sides.

                                                                                              I consider NASCAR drivers and "pro" race car drivers as drug addicts. They are addicted to the adrenaline rush of driving fast and facing death on a regular basis. They are the same, in my mind, as bungee jumpers, sky divers, mountain climbers and anyone who gets off on their own chemicals inside their own brains which can only be released under high stress or life-threatening situations.

                                                                                              Therefore: I have absolutely ZERO empathy or sympathy for one of these drug addicts when something goes wrong and they die from their own addictions. The fact that these drug addict/drivers cannot STOP racing even when they are not racing (they have it 'in their blood', proving my points) makes them sad in my eyes. The fact that they profit from their addictions (which also puts other drug addicts at risk) and the fact that businesses have monetized this addiction (ads on cars etc) does not make this 'activity' a 'sport'. Seek help Tony (and every other NASCAR driver).
