Sympathy to Ward’s family!

Having grown up with Bobby Johns, knowing Red Farmer, Fireball Roberts and Jim Rathmann and having done some minor racing myself, —it happens.
Fireball died because he tried to avoid crashing into two other cars that collided in front of him, __it happens.
No one involved in this sport does it to die but some do. Some peoples’ sport is fishing and sometimes in this sport people some die, __it happens!
Everyone does what they want and sometimes die, __It happens!

My opinion(which is worth zero) is the video frame where some Freepers see Tony swerving is actually one frame that shows the car deflecting after contacting Ward.
As far as someone hearing Tony’s engine revving, HA!

My opinion(which is worth zero); as is all others on this thread.

When we get additional video or pics from higher in the stands, they'll be better able to calc distances and create a time line. Not sure how much techy stuff is in these cars...like a black box. Also, I believe Tony had his own video.

It's wait and see...very sad...and a young man is dead...and it goes back to Tony tapping Kevin's car.

I know nothing about racing and have only been to one race in my life. After watching the video several times, it sounds to me like the engine that revs does so immediately after the 45 car avoids the guy stomping around on the track. It also sounds like it’s closer to the cameraman than Stewart’s 14 car. But I don’t know how anyone can base a decision on that video. It looks to me like the impact causes the back of the car to swing inside, and I don’t see how the driver can see anything out of the right side of that car with that big panel there... Especially in the dark. The guy in the 13 car just let his temper go to stupid.
