Tony Stewart could be in big trouble....Police investigating incident.

[4Corners]

For the record my lawyer buddy thinks he will get charged. But he is not a very good lawyer.

 

what charges?

[Happy Panther]

what charges?

some form of negligent homicide

[MurkN]

Anybody think what Stewart said around 1:36 will be brought up in court if he is charged?

No...run over has a different meaning in that setting than really running over someone with a car.

I just watched the video look for yourself, if you haven't already

 

EDIT: Could be hard to watch for some

68 deaths as a direct result from NASCAR. How many from the NFL again? Oh right. You hicks worship this sport I swear lol.

There have been that many high school football players killed in the last decade.

Stuff like this happens every weekend at small tracks across the country. Anyone here visit Bowman Grey often? The results were more tragic in this case but its not uncommon.

Yeah this video is the only one I have seen and I can't figure anything out from it.

 

He ran the poor kid over.

 

Are there other videos?

none known

Remember this is a dirt track and steering on a 1100hp 3/4 ton vehicle that is mayb no much longer then a small truck. The rear tires are oversized and that is where the main steering is derived. The rev up prior may have been Stewart trying to swing out of the way and by recent accounts the wing hit the guy and knocked him in to the tire.

Way to hard to tell from the video. The cut away doesn't help at all. It may have been a jerk reaction to seeing someone on the track in front of him. I would think that instincts kick in and he may have reacted without thinking which could have caused the revving and swerve since that's how these cars turn. Tony is the only one who will ever know exactly what he saw so all we are left to do is speculate on an internet message board until the investigation is done.

Seems pretty obvious he threw the tires and gas peddle in an attempt to avoid killing someone. The Internet kills me sometimes lol

What's worse, an awkward situation that resulted in an accidental death or those who typically are out of touch with reality and need someone to pin charges of manslaughter to help themselves selfishly feel justice has been served?
