A lot of posters on this board know squat about racing so they misrepresent your observations as accusing a guy of murder or absolving the other driver of blame. See the patronizing bizarre analogies from our resident Clarence Darrow about driving a bike off a cliff. Is that your "go to" closing argument? Expected better. And then there's the "How could Tony Stewart have possibly expected the other guy to run towards his car?" Really!
Dave there are plenty of racing accidents. Accidents on a short track passing an accident scene are rare. They're under caution and drivers are usually extra careful because they know track workers and other drivers are on the track. Surprised you can't differentiate or choose to ignore that fact.

Accidents on a short track passing an accident are probably rare because I'm guessing that it is somewhat unusual to have the driver who crashed angrily running down the track very close to where the cars are passing to confront a moving car as if it were a person or something made of cotton candy instead of a deadly weapon. Tony Stewart is going to be held to the standards of a resonable person under the circumstances, not the standard of what a super-intelligent, infinitely skilled magician conjured from your imnagination would do when someone makes a run at his moving car on a dark racetrack.
