I tried to edit the thread title to no avail.Who is Tony suing?
Tony will have to pay big time, I knew this would happen. Even if Tony didn't intend on killing the guy (which of course he didn't), his hot head helped lead to this death.
Parasitic lawsuit. No chance of success, and they know it. Just hoping to put pressure on Tony Stewart to force through a settlement.
That's what the majority of lawsuits have become. That's why bogus rape accusations and crap like this continue because it's cheaper to just settle than paying attorneys and legal fees.
Have not read all of the post here so apologies if this has already been stated. While I do not advocated killing NASCAR drivers for sport (think it is wrong), anyone who is outraged by this and supports abortion (killing a human baby) is a hypocrite. Carry on.
Regardless, Tony shouldn't have revved his engine and fishtail toward. It was during a caution when everyone else was going low on the track. Looked like Tony was trying to throw dirt on him, but got too close. But, that's just Tony.It's a terrible tragedy, I figured they would sue him. Like mentioned, why it took so long is beyond me. You should never get on the track period. Your doing it at your own risk. Stewart didn't mean to hit the kid it was an accident and he should of never got out of the car to begin with. Had he died in his car rather than being hit by Stewart would his family still be suing?
Unless the laws of physics didn't apply on that race track there is no way that the engine rev that was heard on the video came from Stewart's car. Due to the distance, the time it would have taken for sound of a revving engine to travel to where the video was shot would have placed the "rev" well behind the fishtailing of his car. Braking would have caused the car to fishtail in the same manner as the brakes on those cars have a rear wheel bias. .Regardless, Tony shouldn't have revved his engine and fishtail toward.

Witnesses said he sped up and fishtailed. It will all come out in the trial if it's not settled.Unless the laws of physics didn't apply on that race track there is no way that the engine rev that was heard on the video came from Stewart's car.

Witnesses saw what we see on the video. Unless one of them was in the car with TS they wouldn't know any more than anyone else. While often powerful, eyewitness testimony in cases like these has been proven over and over to be wildly inaccurate. It is no different than fans who see or don't see a foul or penalty in a ballgame. Instant replay often shows fans to be wrong.Witnesses said he sped up and fishtailed.

Without question? That fact is very much in question.Doesn't matter where that sound came from, without question he gunned the car as he hit the driver.

All speculation on your part.I bet if there had been debris, or a tire where Ward was standing, Tony would not have hit it. He used his car as a weapon when he purposefully put Ward into the wall, then he used it again to scare Ward. Got away from him and he killed a man. Doesn't mean he hit and killed him on purpose. Means his reckless behavior led to a death. He'll rightfully pay hard.
