A judge's ruling will allow the Ward family to proceed with their civil suit against Tony Stewart

Does this mean no more smoking weed in the hauler before heat races, smfh?

All relevant information in this should be allowed to be admitted into evidence.
I doubt a New York Judge will allow a toxicology report on the deceased to be admitted but I guess we will see.
(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) shame that a civil suit is allowed to be filed.

Money grab.......had it been anyone but Tony, wouldn't even be discussing it.

Sorry for the deceased and sorry the family is suffering because of his actions......but don't try and shift responsibility just because the man has money.

I dont care if someone gets high.. But if they get in a race car when they are, they should go to jail.. To bad he died be for he could go to jail....This could hurt racing Bad....He killed him self no one killed him....

Explains why he unstrapped, and walked into oncoming racing traffic.......wasn't thinking too clearly.

Sux all the way around.

I think folks need to pay attention to where the judge says the waiver everyone signs entering the pits is worthless as far as liability goes. If other judges and the courts agree with this, it will have a negative impact on racing.

Think this could make insurance harder to get and/or more expensive too. (Or will insurances sue the track operator to get out of paying in cases of incidents?)

Not good I don't think.

I didn't see where a judge said any of that ? It says that a new York State law makes waivers unenforceable.

K&k, Naughton and other insurance companies are in business to write policies... They will continue to do so.

A tracks insurance costs are directly based on risk... It costs more to insure if you run Sprint cars than bombers. If you fencing isn't up to snuff or the bleachers are in rough shape it will cost more.

An insurance company won't sue a track because of a claim...the insurance company has a contract with the track to defend the track in court and pay out damages based on amount of coverage in the contract.

This suit may affect tracks in NY....and maybe other states like CA or NJ. But most joints will not be affected...in my opinion.

Did toxicology determine he was high at the track or during the race? His coming up positve to weed could have been a result of many days past.... Just because it is still in you system doesn't mean you are high. Gonna be hard to rule him impaired in any way at the time of this tragedy. No question he made a vary dumb move ending in his death. Was he high? May never know. Did he act out irrationally? Absolutely!

The post mortem toxicology is accurate enough to place the time of use in a 5 hr window prior to his death.
