Tony Stewart Kill Driver after Crash.

[Fargo]

It will be interesting how the jury considers this aspect. Seems to me that Ward himself actually endangered everyone he was competing with.

It very well may never make it to a jury, the undisputed facts are such that TS could potentially win on summary jugement. All depends on how NY's duty of care/assumption of risk doctrine works these days.

I hate it for the kids family, but having drugs in your system and getting out of your car running into the middle of the track is asking to be hit. So if I get doped up and run into the middle of 465 and get hit, can my family sue the driver that hits me? I don't see this going far, criminally if he was ruled innocent I expect a lawsuit to have similar outcomes.

"Five weeks before trial, Tony Stewart and the parents of Kevin Ward Jr. have told the court that they have reached a settlement to the wrongful-death lawsuit against the three-time NASCAR Cup champion. Judge David Hurd has set a settlement hearing April 12 for the sides to put the terms of the pending settlement on the record. A settlement would end the civil lawsuit filed about a year after Ward’s death Aug. 9, 2014, in an Empire Super Sprints race at Canandaigua (N.Y.) Motorsports Park".

This should have never gotten this far.

Tony is wealthy and depends on advertisers to continue his vocation. He cannot afford for these gold diggers to come out of the woodwork inappropriately. Hush money is necessary.

I get it but dayuuum.

This is a really messed up situation. I feel bad for the dead guy's family. He did this to himself, and his family.

I feel for Tony too. Not a big fan, but for the video. it looks (and sounds) as if the engine didn't rev until after (or on) contact. This is 100% the result of a bad decision made in anger by the dead guy. Now, everybody else has to live with it.

Can't believe this crap is still going on... Dead guy was an idiot...














Nobody is responsible for their own actions these days...

It's a shame that it has been allowed to drag on this long. Lile so many I have seen the video, been aroumd many forms of motorsports and Tony did nothing wrong. IMHO it has had an unfortunate lasting impact on Tony and I think it made him much more cautious. I also think he just wants to get it all behind him and move on. Sucks

I doubt it would have gotten quite so far had not Tony's general attitude not been a factor. Unfortuantely for Tony, his reputation preceeded him.

Something something something, his tires, something.






Too soon?

This is no different than congress. No real negotiation happens until the deadline is close.

Maybe my outlook on this is too simple and it needs to be deeper for some reason, but I have a general rule. Get stoned and run in front of a moving car and bad things will happen at no fault of the car you ran in front of. But what do I know I’m not a lawyer.

Just the tire loosing traction from burning out on that dead guy. I've spun out on a few critters in my day.
If he had lived, he probably would have been charged or at least penalized.

That's what I was thinking. It's like hitting an animal... Plus the idiot's body is like hitting a big bump. Sometimes when you hit a big bump unexpectedly, your foot (on the gas) puts pressure on the pedal.

Still can't believe how this crap turns out.

1. Dead guy was high on pot while racing... (per toxicology report)
2. Gets out of car after crash. (big no no)
3. Charges into oncoming race cars on foot with road rage, causing his own death.
4. Idiot's parents sue because their precious kid can do no wrong.
5. Tony is settling a wrongful death suit.

Well, he puts up with these douche bags for the most part. The guy was lucky. And he is a little B**** truth told.

 

[terrehautian]

Yeah, tony was trying to be a good driver and sign autographs until the idiot harassed him. He could’ve done more to the guy also. Funny thing if Kevin ward would’ve saved it for the pits, he would still be here today. Most racers know you don’t go into the race line after a wreck.
