I honestly don't know a thing about Nascar or either of these drivers but I did watch the video. All I can say is that it was stupid, stupid, stupid, for the guy that got killed to let his temper get the better of him and run out onto the track during a night race wearing all black, it was a recipe for disaster...

This wasn’t a NASCAR race. It was sanctioned by the “Empire Super Sprint” organization. This is a regional group (limited to New York; may travel to Pennsylvania occasionally) that conducts “tour” races to tracks in New York.

A few NASCAR drivers, when they’re in town for the big race on Sunday, visit local dirt tracks to mix it up with the locals. Tony Stewart does / did this all the time, as have David Reutimann (his Dad, Buzzie, was a Superstar at our local NY dirt track in the 60’s), Carl Edwards, Jamie McMurray, Dave Blaney, J.J. Yeley, and others.

I don’t know if, after this debacle, that will continue or not.
