The cars weren't going very fast. I've jogged on roads where cars go 30-to-40MPH. It looks like the car veered out and just sucked him up and spit him out.

Sure looks like Stewart attempting to intimidate the kid by accelerating causing his car to go sideways. You can hear the acceleration clearly on the video. He miscalculated how close the kid was. He is not without any fault in this but the kid clearly should not have been on a dark track in a dark suit.

from what i read, they don't know that it was his car accelerating-the audio could well have picked up another vehicle.
there's no criminal intent, the guy stepped out onto a track at night in a dark suit-not the brightest idea.
i know several say 'well stewart was pissed'. why would he be mad, the wreck did nothing to him. and i doubt some 20 year old who got wrecked would be an issue to him either.
i'm surprised it's taken this long, knowing how many of these geniuses (including stewart) have gone storming across the track to show their displeasure. sheer idiocy.
there won't be charges. but i fully expect a civil suit by the kids family.

The only people that would agree with this are the braindead and the deaf. Even the blind could tell there was acceleration before impact.

i'll tell you i am neither, and don't appreciate your remarks. i neither know nor care if there was any acceleration, just know what i've read and heard on reports. saw a video of it once, on a cell.

If it's "they" who don't know, then why would you get all pissy? You're just telling us what you've read.

but since we're on it.......how the hell would you know if Stewart was mad or not?? You know their back story? Were you inside his head? His car? Have access to his radio?

He clearly drifted the kid into the wall.

Besides, this is the first time Tony Stewart has ever flown off the handle. His track record is pristine.

Two wrongs never make a right, and on that night, it cost a kid his life.

i'm pretty sure any pissiness came in when i was called braindead and/or deaf.
i don't know if he was mad or not, but i have seen others say he was, which i take to be an assumption.
the guy took his life in his hands when he stepped out on a poorly lit track in a dark suit and went towards the cars-it's a wonder the first one by didn't hit the kid.
i know stewart is a hot head. but i don't see anything that would warrant criminal charges at all.
like i said above, there will most likely be a civil suit. i'm not defending stewart at all, just saying what i think-that he won't be charged.

Declan, I'd withdraw the deafness complaint and rest your case on the braindead complaint.
