Stewart Has Wrongful Death Suit Filed Against Him

[D. Tidrow]

by your logic, if you are driving home tonight and a drunk driver drives into your lane and you fail to avoid them..... you are at fault.

Not this again, the victims looking for somebody to blame. No matter what the liberals of the board say. If he didn't get out of his car to act like an a$$, this wouldn't have happened. Further more if a rich famous man haven't had hit him this whole situation would be dead. Stewart has already been cleared of wrongdoing in the eyes of the law. Some of the same people crying foul said they would give Tyler Walker a chance in their car if he could pass a weekly drug test, could the victim pass a weekly drug test... No doesn't look like it.

I'm sure they'll settle cuz Tony wants it to go away but I hope he fights it. Parents looking to pad their retirement acct. What a joke. They'll settle and parents will spend their days in the Bahamas but I hope not.

My response was only to the comment I quoted. I do not agree with this bull$hit in any way. I feel the same as you.

Thank you, i thought maybe I posted too much. But now over my morning coffee, I think it's just right. Cleared of all of all wrong doing in the eyes of the law. Now it's just a cash grab. I thought we were all race fans on 4m.

There seems to still be speculation that Stewert accelerated before hitting Ward. I Watched the video several times. If you pay particular attention the moment the front of Tony's car meets Ward you will see the front wheels turn quickly to the right and the car turns hard to the right then you hear the sound of a car accelerating but (its hard to tell to me it sounded like it came from another part of the track like turn 3 or the front stretch ). Then once Ward was down and caught up in the right rear Tony was able to straighten back out. My view is. Tony didn't see Ward and Ward walked into Tony's path and got run over. I don't think tony accelerated because of the actions the car made at the moment of impact. The car IMO was being drug off course by Wards body and not from Tony accelerating

good post DT

[dirtracr33]

he never had a reason to get out of his car in the first place..stewart never touched him...

[In The Gas]

He wasn't found guilty,but his property killed the young man..

Whose property was it that killed Dale Earnhardt? I don't recall Sterling Marlin having a civil suit filed against him. It's not a who touched who last situation.
If the Ward family gets any compensation it will only be because Tony agreed to get this resolved.

And the back end kicks right. Tell me, which end hit Ward, and what side was Ward on?

Have we already forgotten that Ward grabbed the wing and fell onto a spinning tire?

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

I don't think you're wrong on any of it. I'll admit my point on why Stewart gassed it exactly when he did was pure speculation. No one knows but Tony. However, we're talking courtrooms here, and....

No other driver passing Ward gassed it then, no one else had just bumped Ward over the berm in 1/2, and no one else had an obvious reason to provoke, antagonize, or incur the ire of the visibly angry Ward. Combine that with Tony's extensive history of hot head behavior, both on dirt (well known here) and asphalt (well known to NA$CAR fans), and you have a civil case. My opinion might be speculative, but it isn't much of a reach. The prosecuting attorneys definitely will play that angle for all its worth if a settlement isn't reached. From the sound of the Ward family, a settlement may not be in the cards either.

One car before Tony nearly hit Ward. He swerved at the last second. And, Stewart never bumped him. He probably didn't even know Ward crashed until he came back around.

I am shocked the Ward family would expose there sons drug use while driving a race car for money.

Apparently most people have. They also insist that Tony goosed the throttle when he didn't. The goosed throttle is from a different car closer to the camera.

A crappy video from across the track is very poor evidence, and people insist on using it to make their argument. The moron who posted it to YouTube it did racing in general a tremendous disservice.

There is an HD video that was shot from a different angle that tells the real story. People other than cops or lawyers will never see it, though. I know the guy that shot it, and he has been offered ridiculous sums of money for it. He will not sell it.

what is that paper you sign when you go into the pits?
is sad the wards can not accept what thier son done was wrong. yes tony has had issues in past , every driver has! what about all of the suffering tony has went thru? wards are looking for a paycheck from their sons loss of life and that is sad. every driver that gets in a race car knows it may be the last time he ever does that because racing is a dangerous sport. this very well could blow up in the wards face, again. RIP Kevin

There is more than the fact he had THC in his system he ran onto a race track in apparent anger with moving race cars on it I am sure he attended the drivers meeting and they always say not to exit your car until safety workers arrive.

Good post Drano.

Play stupid games , win stupid prizes.........sad, but people die every day for being stupid.
