>>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.

A race car blogger was on local sports blather station saying the same thing.

I don't know one way or the other about whether or not this is true, but I'll take his word over an TV pundit of any stripe.
