Should Tony Stewart be banned from Nascar?

[Praxeas]

I just rewatched it and I can see it as a possibility. In fact he may not have even tried to fish tail but he gunned the engine and being on mud the wheels spun and the back end fish tailed

You can hear him gunning the engine

Why gun the engine? That is what makes a lot of people believe this was no accident. IMO, if you see someone on a track, you don't gun the engine unless you're trying to scare them. That's what I believe happened. Stewart wanted to scare the guy, gunned the engine, the car fishtailed and he ran him over. In that case, and I may be wrong, he should be charged with vehicular manslaughter.

Stewart let his temper get the best of him.
So did Ward...

You guys need to understand the design of a sprint car ,it has no clutch ,rear end ,differential ,anything it doesn't need they eliminated it like a starter to save weight ,, its wheel base is 84 inches, heck my snow sled is longer than that ,yet it has the power of a formula one racer, its a total on or off switch ,the rear tires have huge stagger, ie one is much bigger and wider, the steering wheel is almost useless except at very low speeds ,if you want to turn it you gun it and basically your using one tire to do it, ,its the only way, there were many cars out there and youre telling me you know which one gunned it ? absurd ! he stepped into the path and he tried to turn down even more than he was, incidentally you will see the car ahead of him was higher than he was thereby hiding Ward, he didn't turn up he was already lower ,finally he had a split second to do something ,you can see where Ward stepped down even further then the car who just passed ,if he doesnt step down more ,Tony also misses him ,but he didn't ,Totally Wards fault, ps many nascar drivers do this but they aint that stupid ,they stay way back and toss the helmet, but this kid cant afford to do that ,they are very expensive, lastly plenty of drivers say they are going to run over someone ,but never do because they know one tap and they will be out to ,so they don't wanna risk that !! before people comment they need to know the business !!

Tony has proven more than once that he's a hot head.

Ver few of the drivers act any different then him or any other athlete all of them burn white hots it's called competing show me one who doesn't do this ,the best are all like this ,that's why they tell the track workers ,don't touch them when they get out me the car after an accident ,your likely to get slapped

I wonder if the early church knew about and fussed about the chariot races at the Circus Maximus?

Usually Camera's record with the mic on the front of the camera. The sound of the gunning of the engine coincided with a burst of speed from his car.

I could be wrong, but watch the video again

Ward seems to have had a hot head too. Im sure they all do. They are probably all Type A personalities
