Remember the guy Tony Stewart killed on the last year?
Just saw this today...
Report: Kevin Ward Jr. smoked marijuana within hours of final race | Autoweek

He probably had some bacon fat and orange juice in him as well, about the same relevance to how he died.

IIRC At the time there were tony stewart lynch mobs all over the place.
The fact that this guy was stoned means IMO he had no business being a race car driver or being in a race car or being on a race track and I have a hard time dismissing that as at least a partially contributing cause. Bacon fat not withstanding.

So a man gets stoned and then puts on a BLACK racing suit and gets into a race AT NIGHT and stands in FRONT of a fast moving RACE car in a poorly lighted area and gets run over but it is is not his own fault but the fault of the driver he stood in front of.
Go it.

Watch the video. That pig Stewart tried to scare the kid and miscalculated. Sure, he shouldn't have been on the track but two cars in front of Stewart missed the kid. Stewart has been up to his old tricks since in the race car and hasn't learned a thing.

I'm not sure I agree that Stewart was at fault. I know the internet armchair judges are seldom wrong about anything, but he was cleared by people that investigated the incident firsthand. The suit will go forward, and he will pay some money, because that's how our ****ty legal system works.
The kid was stupid for getting out of the car. No reason to, and many reasons not to. JR |

Yeah, I read it. But Stewart's hotheaded persona preceded this event, and has succeeded it. What occurred fits right in line with Stewart "teaching the punk a lesson." I've seen nothing since that shows Stewart has learned anything. There have in fact been a few incidences since of Stewart in on track and pit road rages where sheet metal got tore up by his car. I believe Stewart rammed a car on pit road in a fit of rage after a race just a month or two after the death.

Read the report on the first post. Two different professionals each concluded Stewart did not swerve.
