Besides you sound like a douche if your constantly trying to prove your cool by letting everyone know all about your other racing exploits. Believe it or not but I know two guys that have ran and finished all 500 miles of the Indy 500 and have also posted on this site. They didn't preface the post with anything about racing cars though.
For what it's worth, I originally thought Tony tried to roost him as he past by. But not having a clue about these cars or how they react, I'm 100% positive (in my own head), that Tony did everything he could to NOT hit Kevin. With the comments from a few guys that really DO know WTF they're talking about, it's pretty obvious to me that I miss judged the accident when I first watched it.

Besides that, what's with all the one post wonders signing up to throw their two cents in on a non-mx topic. Yes, it's to bash X85, we get it, it's fucking over, he's gone from the thread. Don't feel the need to make a single post just to bash someone. Tony had rightful intent because he was directly referred too and cleared the air.
Most of these dudes will never post another thing on this board so if they didnt' sign up to talk moto as their intention, then I could give a shit on what they have to say. Hopefully some of these lame ducks get put out to pasture where they belong.
Stewart Friesen is engaged to Jessica Zemken who is Tony Stewart's ex...
And someone else asked about radios and got the answer but I will add that what you hear is the voice of an official. They will tell you when the yellow flag comes out and where it is so you can avoid getting into the mess if possible. What they don't do is get personal and tell you anything else. Just yellow and location and then line up info to go back green. Tony would have never been told the accident involved him or that a person was on the track and to avoid them. Once everyone gets slowed down they quit looking at the track and start looking to get cars in the right order to go green. Its illegal to have 1 or 2 way communication with your crew in any of the sprint car orgs. Iv'e raced with (USAC and ASCS).
1. Motox85 takes the devils advocate opinion way to far and causes a huge frenzy even Lenny would be proud of.
2. Motox85 is all but driven off the forum and after endurong a bashing for the ages someone makes a vague thread toward him
3. A crew chief comes out of nowhere and continues the bashing, and jump starts the thread yet again
4. Motox85 creates a new account and is now rider564, and the bashing and confusion continues.
It's a forum guys, lets chill out a bit maybe? Things are getting a little weird here.
I bet most of the people commenting in this thread have not even Sat in a sprint car let alone driven one.
Someone died here. Someone else has to live with the fact that he had a hand in that. If that's not a subject that implies a certain amount of rhetorical restraint, I don't know what does.
Pit Row
You didn't convince me of anything, however well spoken your response was. I think the video says it all and until I can see the Go Pro footage and other evidence that supports no wrong doing, I will not take anything the Leo says as fact.
I wonder how far ahead these guys look up the track while racing. I'm sure there is a clear and straight line of sight to the corners while approaching them in the straights....
I'm also quite certain that these cars steer with the steering wheel at low speeds, out of the gas, while they are not drifting... Like under a caution...
Horrible accident, but no matter what a jackhat Tony Stewart has exibited himself to be...apparently he's not a cold blooded murderer, much to the chagrin of some here. It's like a guy wandering out on Loop 610 in Houston at night wearing black clothing. Some cars will see him in time to miss him...but sooner or later, one won't. Bad deal, and my heart goes out to the family and friends of the deceased...and to Tony as well, but it's another example of bad stuff happening. No fault at all...except on side of the deceased. Sorry.
For the guys with actual experience, please correct me if I'm wrong but what it looks like to me is imagine riding your bike through crowded pits with the idle set way too high, holding on with your left hand while getting head shake. It looks like they are easier to drive at speed than under caution
This guy is in the know and we share the same exact view of the situation.

In this case, the plantiff only needs to demonstrate a plausible case, i.e. is it possible that Stewart moved up the track and gunned the engine in response to Ward's actions?
Most posts assume Stewart did not see Ward and did not intentionally move up the track. However, most people would also agree that it's not outside the realm of possibility that Stewart took an aggressive stance with his vehicle. And that's enough to launch both a criminal investigation and civil trial, regardless of how sprint cars are driven or their visibility."
