Tony Stewart hits rival driver, kills him in Sprint car race..

[Xpit77]

First I should say that I have been to many dirt track races. As a crew member and a fan.
When a big time driver comes to a small town track it`s a big deal.Fans who normally don`t go to this track will come to see him or her not the rest of the field.
Anyway, there is an unwritten rule not to mess with him or her as the grandstand is full and they want to see him or her put on a show.Race them hard but .Respect. Kind of like the "Don`t hit Gretzky " rule.
That kid was racing Tony and knew he was inside of him. He also knew the Tony would try to make the pass. All the kid had to do was lift let him go and follow Tony into three. On a regular show night the kid would of and should of done what he did.But not that night. There were no extra points to beat Tony. I`m not saying let him win , not at all but this was a different show.The kid gambled and lost. Tony doesn`t and wasn`t going to lift.
Why did he get out ? Has he done this in the past ?
Tony knew there was a wreck but probably didn`t expect the kid to get that close.
Where were the safety crews ? Did Tony try to toss some dirt on him ? Did Ward`s inexperience get the best of him ? Youtube is full of videos of am drivers getting out of their cars and dukin` it out. Sometimes these things are " discussed " between the haulers after the race. Kid wasn`t going to do that. A career ender if he did. Unfortunate way to learn to stay in your GD car.
