NASCAR Driver Tony Stewart Runs Over a Guy

you people are worse with the rumor and speculation than an old ladies sewing circle. :laughing
 
Well it's going to be judged an accidental death at the very minimum but if any intoxicants are found in either party, it will put an entirely different perspective on the accident. And at that point some blame will be placed on the intoxicated participant.

Yeah, I know. But he (Sheriff Povero) would be screwing himself down the road if they filed after the autopsy results since he's already called it a racing incident.

Disagree. He's leaving himself the option in his phrasing. Just like Tom Greer, if a few days go by and we don't hear anything, then we'll know they don't plan to go after him, criminally.
 
Two idiots enter a race track. One leaves alive.

These two were made for each other. Who the fuck leaves their vehicle, no matter whose fault it is, and walk on an active track?

You are pretty tiresome with the constant bagging on dirt track racing. You do realize there is a board member who dirt track races cars and was cool enough to share his experiences with the board? Those were great threads.

Your comment about Stuart makes no logical sense. If his ability to drive is truly exceptional, if he has total control of his race car, if he "legit", then it follows that this was not just a unavoidable accident. Stuart made driving decision that effected the performance of his race car.

The barfers name wouldn't happen to be Rusty Possum would it?

"Constant bagging" thats a stretch. If I mentioned this sport 3 times in 6 years that would be it.
Sorry, I didn't realize dirt racing was off limits to jokes on the barf. I wonder why lawyers and police don't get the same condition, we do have active members.

My comment about Stewart was that he is an exceptional driver and he didn't deliberately try to kill the guy. To me that does make logical sense.

Yes, yes, yes, and who the fuck sees a fellow driver on a hot track and doesn't avoid a crash? You said it best with two idiots in, one out.
 
He wasn't bright to get out of his car and get on the track, but it is obvious to me that stewart was high and the only one to hit the guy. There was no reason to be that high and he could have avoided the whole thing.
 
I didn't mean murder in the legalese meaning lol

Let me rephrase: did Toby Stewart actively kill someone, on purpose?

that is to be determined

someone died as a direct result of Stewart's actions (Stewart ran a person over, whether it was deliberate or not hasn't been fully determined imho)

if this were on the road, I feel it would be vehicular homicide

I hope Stewart had an in-car camera so we/police can see exactly what his actions were.

Only Tony Stewart knows that.


I find it hard to believe he'd intentionall kill someone over that wreck. In the grand scheme of things he races dirt for the love of the sport not for fame money or the potential to kill someone.

IMO, he either didn't see him or didn't have time to react when he did see him. If it was intentionally then it would have been the result of a psychotic break, he may have had "anger issues" (more like media filled nascar bullshit hype from the past to raise ratings) but murder is a whole different level.
 
I highly doubt he intended to hurt him. The guy should not have been on the track. Stay in the car.

My take is deliberately was trying to get close and intimidate the dude. Manslaughter. I doubt charges will be filed.
