>>>This is reminding me of the OJ story. I hope he isn't that guilty.

>>What???

>>The dumb ass decided to leave his vehicle and walk into oncoming traffic - which was doing 50 mph or so - wearing black. Even see a squirrel dart out in front of you at 25? Imagine your reaction.

>>There are rules in racing for a reason..DO NOT leave your vehicle unless it is on fire until track officials get there.

>Yes rules that apparently were not followed by Mr. Stewart. For example accelerating when he should have let his car go at its own speed. That's what I read in the newspaper and I don't want to get in an argument with you about this. From all I read so far this accident looks very weird.
This is simply not true. In a sprint car you steer with acceleration more than with your steering wheel. Him gunning the engine was an attempt to steer away. There are plenty of experts out there that have voiced their support.
