They DO encourage it openly saying "have at it boys" so you really can't fault the drivers for doing something they're encouraged to do. It's nothing new really, has been going on for decades, and has never been an issue until now.

Also this

I don't think that getting out of the car and then running out on the track straight at another car was a great idea.

I remember when you used to call the NFL players lazy and self-entitled during the lockout. How's it going?

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

SASCAR/Indy/other racing series goons: In all the fist/helmet/bird-throwing/waving incidents on-track in recent years, can anybody remember a driver walking out into the racing line (or at least out from the protection of safety vehicles) like Ward did? Smoke (Martinsville '99, Bristol '12; the latter was on pit road) and Robby Gordon (NHIS '05, the "Michael Waltrip is a POS" incident) are the only ones who spring to mind right now. I don't know if Kurt Busch at Indy in 2002 counts.

My mind is being blown seeing the worlds of NHL and racing goons posting in the same thread. :psyduck:

Barely an excuse. Tony knew that car wrecked there so he should have taken precaution in that area to begin with. That and seeing probably a figure ahead of you into that turn gesturing wildly to you. But again, Ward may have gotten too close and Stewart was being way too close.

Well, the last time he went around, he pushed Ward high and made him tap the wall.

He should have been able to stop the car in mid air just like Chuck Liddell in that commercial

No mirrors either. Mind you. Plus we don't know the status of Tony's visor and whither it was caked with dirt of if he had just used a Tear Off.

There are so many unknowns that once again I will simply say. Tony isn't innocent, but he isn't guilty. Kevin isn't innocent, but he isn't guilty. Can't we just have a tragedy and move on? it sucks, everyone is hurt by this, everyone. The racing community is hurt, the local community is hurt. poo poo people in my family are hurt, the car right behind Tony's is owned by a cousin of mine. This whole thing sucks and we want to figure it out because of some social justice bullshit.
