In stock car racing nothing would have happened. That is why you see this poo poo happen at Bowman Gray. It is unacceptable and taboo to do this on a dirt track.


is it really? i mean, i know it's already stupid to do this in a late model race, and about a million times dumber to do it in a sprint or mods race, but don't people do this anyway?

Yeah well maybe the next time a 20 year old thinks about going on to a race track and getting into a racing line, he'll think again and stay in his car. I'm sorry he died like that. The track needs to remain safe for everyone or at least as safe as they can make it. Getting out of your car and getting into a racing line is not safe.

the whole macho-man "run at another car waving your arms and throwing your gloves" act has been old for like 10 years anyway

At some point in a civil trial, Tony will be on the stand and will be asked, under oath, what he was thinking about at the time of the accident.

In my awful heart of hearts, I know the answer I hope for him to give.

The dude who died was a fag and Smoke is cool.

This is extremely hosed up, but I have to say: I agree.

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 think it's safe to say that mistakes were made all around.

Stewart is a hell of a driver, while this Ward kid seems like he was poor. Doesn't seem like a good rivalry tbh

You say this as though the odds are exactly the same in both situations.

I think that one of the two scenarios is also an accepted and integral part of motor racing. I don't know which one though

It's hard to say but maybe most fatalities in a race involve drivers who are in cars because most of the drivers tend to be in cars during the race. Just my opinion

Running into traffic was a mistake for sure

Well the thing is, imo, I don't think Ward was legitimately so mad that he was blind with rage and charged into traffic. It's just some dumbass macho stuff where you have to save face after you get wrecked, so you toss your gloves and your helmet and jaw off. Ideally you should do this without acting like a complete idiot unlike the guy who died.

There's only two drivers who I'd say that about, and one of them would be Stewart. (The other one is Edwards)
