I was away over the weekend and only learned of this yesterday.

I have to say I am shocked and appalled. This has to be one of the most grotesque things to have ever happened on a racetrack.

I agree that too many assumptions are being drawn from that single video. There is nothing conclusive there, it can be construed in several ways.

I fail to believe that there was any intent, Tony Stewart is a bit of a gentleman's appendage, but even he wouldn't be that screw-loose. I would entertain the theory of him attempting to 'scare' the kid or disrespecting him by spraying him with dirt. I just don't think he expected the guy to be stood right on the high line, in the dark, in an all black get-up...

Whatever happens, a 20yr old is left dead and one of NASCAR's biggest stars career has ended. Dreadfully sad event.
