C'mon! those track workers arrived seconds after KW was run over. Meaning they were already on their way to the disabled car and you could clearly tell from their reaction and where they parked the tow truck that they were not expecting to find a body right there. How is that sensationalizing? TS knew the track workers were on the way if not already on the track but chose to go higher up the track and at a faster speed than the cars that played it as safe as possible. As a result of his actions and ceratinly KW's there was no margin for error.

But I'm still unclear as to why TS wasn't driving to the inside like the other cars? In TS's book does safety go down a notch if it means losing a small time race for a $500 prize?
