Hard-luck season continues for pissed-off kid, Tony Stewart runs him over & kills him

[santana]

This guy needs to get some jail time.....looks as if it was intentional....It also is never good idea to go on a track with cars going at that rate of speed....

We need a head-on replay, but it kind of looks like Stewart veered out and stepped on it.

Maybe, he was just trying to brush him back, or scare him, or whatever. But he's supposed to be one of the best drivers in history.

You'd have to assume the kid didn't run straight in front of his car and expect him to stop.

Either way, it looks bad for Stewart. He put two different people in the hospital the last time he drove at that track, and he said the accident was his own fault that day:

Now, he's in a wreck with a kid who he ran over and killed on the next lap.

I can't wait to hear his press conference. They probably won't let him take questions. He got very cocky and defensive when the TV announcers called him out for starting wrecks:

It's actually been pretty entertaining watching these clips of Stewart's antics on Youtube this morning.

He's like Meyham, in this one. Spinning people out, wrecking them, throwing his helmet at a car, and talking trash in interviews...all in one race.

Nice to see he hasn't mellowed out, much.

I think his bank account will take a massive hit if they come up with a head-on replay on yesterday nights accident. Might even get jail time if they can prove he veered outward and hit the gas.

Stewart is not at fault. Kid was an idiot.

Kinda difficult to charge Stewart with murder considering he was parked behind a car blocking his view and going at a high rate of speed on a dirt track.

No way he gets any time for it.

It's too hard to prove intent and the dumbass pulled a Darwin move to walk on the track and confront the great Tony Stewart.

The cars weren't going very fast. I've jogged on roads where cars go 30-to-40MPH. It looks like the car veered out and just sucked him up and spit him out.

Sure looks like Stewart attempting to intimidate the kid by accelerating causing his car to go sideways. You can hear the acceleration clearly on the video. He miscalculated how close the kid was. He is not without any fault in this but the kid clearly should not have been on a dark track in a dark suit.

from what i read, they don't know that it was his car accelerating-the audio could well have picked up another vehicle.
there's no criminal intent, the guy stepped out onto a track at night in a dark suit-not the brightest idea.
i know several say 'well stewart was pissed'. why would he be mad, the wreck did nothing to him. and i doubt some 20 year old who got wrecked would be an issue to him either.
i'm surprised it's taken this long, knowing how many of these geniuses (including stewart) have gone storming across the track to show their displeasure. sheer idiocy.
there won't be charges. but i fully expect a civil suit by the kids family.
