The grand jury's decision has been confirmed. Ontario County DA Michael Tantillo said the grand jury found "no basis to charge Stewart with a crime."

Tantillo said that more than two dozen witnesses testified before the 23-member grand jury panel, including police, medical officials, track personnel, accident reconstruction experts and others. The grand jury also viewed photos, videos and other evidence, he said.

That Kevin Ward "ran onto a hot track while other cars were racing played a big, big factor" in their decision, Tantillo said.

Tantillo also gave the surprising revelation that Ward was under the influence of marijuana, "enough to impair his judgement" that evening.

Who the hell races a car while high?

I'd want maximum concentration, myself.

I guess it goes without saying that if there is a civil judgement, this will cost the family a buck or two.....

Edit..stomachmonkey beat me to it by this much!

I guess someone should start a new thread entitled,

"Tony Stewart, this is good!"

So much for all the "know-it-alls" that said TS was guilty.

I agree...over.

I have no sympathy for a kid that has been gifted with a fast racecar and fortunate enough to race in a great series...that thinks it is ok to get high before a race. in my mind he goes from being an unfortunate victim to a punk.

sorry for being a bit harsh but that is just how I feel.

He wasn't necessarily "racing high"...

He might have done a couple bong hits the night before or even prior to that. THC stays in your system for a long time, doesn't it?

I'm no drug expert but I " think " there is a difference in toxicity level from doing a few bong hits the night before compared to "enough to impair his judgement" in his system at the autopsy the day after the incident but I could be wrong.

For sure there is, did they say how much was in him and how it relates to usage?

The sad thing is, I bet that in New York, his parents will sue Tony Steward and despite the fact that their high kid walked in front of his car, he'll still end up paying. That's right, our legal system is so effed up that someone can negligently get themself killed, and the poor SOB that happened to have the misfortune helping them shed their mortal coil gets both the emotional trauma AND gets robbed by the family of the moron.

pot and THC are NONTOXIC

TESTS CAN SHOW USE from measuring by-products
TESTS CAN NOT SHOW IF HI OR HOW HI
