But, isn't tony stewert the best driver?
@soldier, Huh? A sprint car is set up to change direction when the throttle is blipped on a banked corner. The same effect will occur when immediately lifting off the throttle. The kid ran towards him. He either had to slam on the brakes which will cause him to loose grip and continue to go forward or give it gas or let off the gas causing snap oversteer and change direction. Kid came out of nowhere.

Intentional? No. Reckless? Yes. Knowing how Smoke is and what a competitor he is, he probably wanted to send a message to the kid. These cars aren't equipped with cameras or radios like the Cup cars. He had no spotter telling him the kid was irate and getting out of the car. Tony could have used better judgement however by taking the inside line when the yellow came out.

Im sorry but if some idiot started running across the freeway and got hit and killed, I blame the idiot running on the freeway, not the driver.
So a guy runs in the middle of a track and people blame the driver? What the [expletive] is wrong with people? He walked in the middle of a race track. That's suicide, not slaughter.
Tony Stewart has been cleared.

Update Tony Stewart will have no charges pressed against him. Kevin Wards toxicology reports released and he was high as a kite. Enough levels of THC were in Wards system for him to actually be high while driving the race. And this explains his actions go running out on the track to confront a moving vehicle.

He probably thought Tony Stewart was a purple dragon trying to eat him.
