If you want to sensationalize at least get your facts straight. I've seen two posted videos of the events that night. Neither showed track worker on the track until after Ward was hit. Neither showed an ATV on track until after the accident where Ward was hit. Both showed that Ward ran down 2 to 3 lanes below his disabled car on the track. One showed TS bobbing around another car prior to the impact, both showed him about one lane up past the lower racing line berm mostly because of the other car.

Routinely there are four wheelers on a dirt track with sprints under yellow. They push start the cars which then fly off at speeds up to 100MPH after starting in order to clear excess fuel and catch back up to the rest of the field.

Why would TS have any animosity toward this kid? The video showed him touch tires as he was passing Ward. Ward front right caught the outside berm which threw him into the wall causing the spin. I've seen the same accident hundreds of times, at 20 or more different tracks. The difference last Saturday is that KW got out of his car and basically ran into the racing line in front of oncoming cars. If you did the same on 95 at night what do you think the outcome would be.

Your answer will probably be you know better.
