That's not what I meant. Of course it happened during a race but the drivers were not racing at the time of the fatality. And any weekend warrior or full time professional knows that when the race is under caution there are track workers on the HOT TRACK. In other words, SLOW DOWN AND KEEP AWAY from disabled vehicle. Do you think TS did the best job possible to slow down and keep away from Ward's car? Doesn't look that way to me.

But why was he on high side of the track to begin with? At this point we can all see that other cars kept to the inside. What was Stewart doing up there? That question needs to answered.
And I suspect that many don't want to ask this question because they want to leave this as just an unfortunate tragedy.
