Had a wreck with another driver. On the next lap, under caution, Stewart's car hits the kid who had gotten out of his wrecked car. Kid was in critical condition, but some of the comments on EPN are saying that he has passed away. So sad.

Well, he's withdrawn from the race now. I just watched the video. It doesn't look good for Stewart. My eyeballs tell me he hit the guy on purpose.

Now, I've never driven a sprint car, and I've never raced on a dirt track. But I have driven a car with a sprint car rear differential, and I can tell you that how it is made makes it a bitch to handle. It's a total on/off switch, and the car could be making Tony's actions look like something they're not.

Moreover, it's hard to tell what Tony could or couldn't see. Don't assume that visibility was great that night. First of all, Ward Jr. was in a dark suit and helmet against a dark background. Even leaving that aside, I've talked to short track racers, and on some of the steeper, smaller tracks, modified drivers have to cut holes in their roof to see all the way through a corner. A sprint car is much more open than a modified car, but I still find it believable that Tony might not have seen Ward until very late.

There's also the walking out into race car traffic part.

Such a tragedy but, Jr. should have never gotten out of his car...Was he that mad and was there a history of "beef" between the two?
