The guy was out in the middle of a race track and he got hit

I'm sure what he was doing was not standard safety procedure running out in front of race cars pointing at them

Its a bad thing that happened but I say its all his fault for putting himself in that place at that time

I don't want to call him an idiot

But he should not of done that

I have met him several times. He is quite the gentleman contrary to popular belief and very intelligent. There is no way he would outright run into a fellow friver on the track. He should have stayed in his car and if he had anything to say to Tony he could have said in the pits.

Is He, or Isn't He?

Hopefully, this will answer the question and put this tragedy to rest once and for all:

Tony Stewart will not face charges in deadly crash

By JENNA FRYER and CAROLYN THOMPSON
Associated Press


CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. (AP) -- After more than six weeks in limbo, NASCAR star Tony Stewart finally got the news he had been hoping for.

A grand jury that heard testimony from more than two dozen witnesses, including accident reconstruction experts and drivers, and looked at photographs and video decided against bringing criminal charges against Stewart for the death of 20-year-old sprint car driver Kevin Ward Jr. during an Aug. 9 race.

That doesn't mean it's over.

A few hours after Ontario County District Attorney Michael Tantillo announced the grand jury's decision in this upstate New York hamlet, the Ward family indicated in a statement read over the telephone by sister Kayla Herring that they will seek civil damages in the young driver's death.

"Our son got out of his car during caution when the race was suspended. All the other vehicles were reducing speed and not accelerating except for Stewart, who intentionally tried to intimidate Kevin by accelerating and sliding his car toward him, causing the tragedy," the family said Wednesday. "The focus should be on the actions of Mr. Stewart. This matter is not at rest and we will pursue all remedies in fairness to Kevin."

The family might have a difficult task: Tantillo disclosed that Ward was under the influence of marijuana the night he died and said two different videos were enhanced, frames were isolated and viewed at at least three different speeds and finally overlaid with grids and data. Both showed Stewart had done nothing wrong.

"The videos did not demonstrate any aberrational driving by Tony Stewart until the point of impact with Kevin Ward, at which point his vehicle veered to the right up the track as a result of the collision. Prior to that, his course was pretty straight," said Tantillo. He added that toxicology evidence from Ward's autopsy "indicates that at the time of operation he was under the influence of marijuana. The levels determined were enough to impair judgment."
