(Video) Driver Tony Stewart runs over fellow driver Kevin Ward Jr and kills him

[Ben]

This happened last night. For those who don't want to watch the video. Ward's car ends up spinning after a clash with Stewart's car, Ward appears to get angry and (unfortunately) gets out of his car and is on the track trying to remonstrate at Stewart when he comes round next. Unfortunately there's a car right in front of Stewart and he only appears to see Ward at the last night and can't avoid hitting him. What doesn't help is that the guy's overalls are black and it's a night race.

Video's missing.

It was embedded as Tony Stewart Hits Sprint Car Driver Kevin Ward Jr (VIDEO) Canandaigua Motorsports Park 2014 - YouTube but the forum software doesn't seem to handle the short Youtube links so I had to go and get the long version.

Looked deliberate to me.

Two other cars miss him and Stewart gasses the car so the back end fish tails. Don't reckon he meant to kill him, just give a scare and maybe a couple of broken bones.

Stewart will claim dark overalls, bad light meant he didn't see him til the last minute and he shouldn't have been on the track.


I think he will get away with murder

To be honest, and no offence meant, but this looks more like a Darwin moment. Why was the other guy trying to stop him in the middle of a race?
