Was just gonna post that. Gotta wonder though what this kid was thinking and how fast Stewart was going. Seemed totally avoidable. Very sad. Watching ESPN and Fox. They just announced he'd be racing today. IDK how.

Marlene woke me up and said there was shooting on the track. Don't know how she thought that. But its sad some young guy died. From what I heard Stewart and him bumped the lap before. So there is some investigation going one. Stewart will not race today.

Yeah, at first they said he'd be racing. Later they announced he 'decided' to not race. An announcer made a point that Stewart-Haas was trying to protect the Stewart 'brand', and they were really the ones that made that decision, or at least advised him. Frankly surprised he decided he would race at first. Then you learn it is absolutely his whole life - no wife, kids, races every single thing possible. Anyway, that does not indict him in any way. Albeit just a kid, he wrote his own ticket.

This doesn't look good even with no charges being filed at this point. NASCAR is like the NFL they will wait until they get all the facts from this before they do anything. Some have already started to wonder if this will be the end of Tony's driving days in racing.

Are they thinking he may have hit him on purpose? I know they have video of the whole thing.

At this point they don't think he hit him on purpose, they have yet to talk to the other drivers who were around Tony when it happened or they have and have not released that info yet. Either way it my be hard for Tony to focus on any type of racing with what has happened. Stuff like that can mess with your mind for a long time..

Wow they race on smaller tracks and all those cars were still going fast, that kid had no business coming that far down the track to confront Stewart.
