I resent you implying with the quote I was trying to justify Kevin Ward Jr's actions.

I made it clear in my first post that I thought Kevin Ward Jr. should have stayed in his car.

Resent away!

Apologies, must have misunderstood your quote about the white flashes

Who else thinks he just might as well sit out the remainder of the season? I mean, if he came back, people would probably start accusing him of not caring which would only add fuel to the fire.

Just as I predicted - NASCAR has announced the addition of a new rule following this accident. No drivers can get out of their cars under circumstances like Kevin's situation on Saturday.

That was a good move by NASCAR.

Kyle Larson having to escape from his car because of a fire might have exposed a little kink in the rule. They'll need to address it, because drivers will have to get out of the car asap if it's on fire.

The rules already allow a driver to exit the car if there is fire or he smells smoke or some other issue that requires him/her to exit from the car for safety reasons.

In the video I saw there seemed to be a clear sound of the engine as Stewart put his foot down. Whether that was because he spotted Ward and decided to try and avoid or tried to scare him is something that only Tony Stewart knows. What is clear to me is that you don't get out of your car and walk towards cars that are racing, especially not when it's dark and even more so when you're wearing black.

There were something like 28 cars on the track. How do you know that sound came from Stewart's car? Most likely it came from a car that was closer to the person who recorded the video.

Because the noise coincided exactly with the moment that Stewart's car flicked the tail out. Okay it's not 100% certain, but I think that it's more likely to have come from Stewart's car.

Same opinion here. I think it was to avoid him.
