Except it wasn't an "active race". They were under caution. When race tracks are under caution, there are almost always people walking on the track. Hence the caution.

This is like a baseball player getting mad about something in the game and walking toward another player while yelling. Then the other other player kills the angry player with a baseball bat. Many in this thread are saying "whelp, I guess he shouldn't have walked toward another player that was holding a bat!".

I can't list all of the drivers that I have seen get out of the car in anger, and walk toward another car under caution while yelling and screaming. Stewart himself has done it many times. Somebody getting run over while they do that is not the norm - in fact it's never happened. This kid died at the hands of one driver that night. He didn't get run over by multiple drivers, even though a couple dozen of them happened to be on the track while he was out there. It's the same driver that hit him during the race, it's the same driver he was yelling and pointing at. NOT a coincidence.

I'm a big dumb shitlib baby

Am I only the one who was surprised to learn that it was NOT against the rules to get out of your car on the track during the race?

Stewart didn't hit him. The kid put himself into the wall trying to avoid losing a couple spots.

Im pretty hammered right now.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

On-track beefs seem to be a big part of the sport. Has anyone ever died in a wreck that was the result of one of them?

Im pretty hammered right now.

And one person who got out of his car is dead. Do you agree that if he stayed in or near his car he is still probably alive this morning?

Well, their cars made contact before he spun and hit the wall. Call it what you want, they hit each other - resulting in the kid being wrecked out of the race.

Ryan Newman wrecked in the Cup race yesterday - they threw the caution flag as a result. He then got out of his car, unassisted, and walked down the track several hundred feet/yards to another driver's car. If he gets run over by any vehicle at that point - some of you are saying that would be Newman's fault? Of course not.

One car hit this kid, one car killed this kid. Several other people managed to not hit him.

I'll crucify Stewart for killing the him, but the wreck is on the kid.

Frank, with all due respect - you clearly don't watch the sport. I have seen several hundred drivers get out of their car, under caution, and walk on the track. For a variety of reasons. It happens.

I have never, ever seen anybody get killed as a result. I've never ever seen anybody get run over. I've never seen anybody get even slightly injured as a result.

There is only one reason why this situation resulted in a death. It's not the actions of the guy that did what several hundred other people have done.

If he stayed in or near his car, is he still alive today? YES or NO </BabyMcbigfan

I happen to watch it quite a bit, and don't agree totally with you.

Which part do you disagree with?
You've seen people run over before?
Killed?
Injured?
You've never seen hundreds of drivers get out of their car under caution and walk on the track?

Its a yes or no question that you haven't answered yet, spanky. Though you are a smart guy, you clearly know what the answer is.

Im pretty hammered right now.

It's a stupid question, Frank. Save your stupid questions for BigFan.

you are on quite the crusade to repeat your points.

If the kid never started racing he'd also be alive today. What an idiot.

Im pretty hammered right now.

Imagine you see this one line story: "Man hit and killed while standing in traffic and yelling at cars on expressway." Who are you blaming?

So what changes here that absolves this guy of blame?

I think the best answer here is that both people have a lot of blame.

Im pretty hammered right now.

Emergency workers and lights/sirens were on the scene at time of accident"

Little different, no?
