QUOTE (Dunt @ Aug 12, 2014 -> 11:58 PM) Good thing Robin waited for the Giants to tie it up to take Petricka out of there, lord knows he didn't wanna lose the game. So one of the other guys could blow it? Give me a break.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 12, 2014 -> 09:13 PM) It is pretty much either or. Either he is a bad enough driver that he is the only driver ever to hit another driver or he tried to buzz the guy made a mistake and hit him. I really don't see another option. Other drivers have gone after others in all different scenarios and no one has ever hit one. So he is either and bad driver accidentally hit him or he tried to buzz the guy and realized to late that he was too close and accidentally hit the guy. I don't believe he tried to hit him if that is the malice to which you are referring. Again this is all just my opinion from my experience in racing and with Stewart. This isn't as common as you think, and if it happens in nascar there'll be a voice in your ear warning you that they're out of their car so you know to look out for them. Also any time this has happened in nascar they moved down to the lower end of the the track and stopped moving. They also wait until things have calmed down and the cars have went by a few times, and use the safety vehicles as shields. Ward was actively moving and pointing like an idiot before the safety vehicles arrived. He looked like a football player juking. It was weird.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 12, 2014 -> 08:22 PM) There were no other cars on the track at the time. That's odd. No I'm saying the other cars went by when he was higher on the track. After he ran down only 2 maybe 3 cars passed him that had a shot of hitting him. If he had stayed up high where he was when everyone else did Stewart wouldn't have hit him.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 12, 2014 -> 07:20 PM) How ever many were on the track during the caution. I didn't see the beginning of the race so i don't know how many were in the race. They all had to go by him. 2 cars went passed him when he wandered down to the middle of the track. The first almost hit him the second did.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 12, 2014 -> 05:29 PM) Or at least people who don't follow racing. While he should not have been out there, it happens all the time. Stewart is only culpable from the fact that he should have missed him. Out of all the times racers have gone on the track to yell at another driver, this is the only time a driver has been hit. Ehh the general consensus from people who know stuff about racing seems to be that tony isn't at fault.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 05:22 PM) Lol, clearly you've already got your mind made up of what you wanted me to think. So go ahead and continue to make up lies and make inaccurate assumptions. That sounds better than actually realizing your insults to me are insults to people like Caufield too, who seems to share the same views as me on this. Makes it more exciting for you if I am out alone by myself on this one. Your words made up my mind of what you think. I also haven't insulted you. Caulfield also didn't respond to my post about Stewart and Johnson. Your opinion of this man has been entirely formed in the last 24 hours from people who want you to read or watch their stuff. Tony has anger issues, every racer has anger issues it's part of the sport and what makes it appealing, but like my Daytona post there's a lot of good to Tony Stewart as well.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 05:13 PM) Nope. But I'll go ahead and tell you exactly what I think happened so you can stop being so wrong every time. I think he tried to either scare the s*** out of the kid, or he tried to fling dirt and rocks up on him. I DO NOT believe he tried to hit the kid. I certainly DO NOT believe he tried to kill the kid. I think it was bad luck that he happened to hit the kid and he probably feels horrible about it. The kid was very dumb from walking towards the moving cars, and Stewart was extremely reckless as well. Both were at fault, both deserve some blame in what happened. Never happens without both of their actions. There. Now feel free to reply without pretending like you think you know my viewpoint on what happened. I'm done. You've clearly vilified Tony to the point nothing will change your mind on the topic. And suddenly you get called out from a few people and backtrack on your thoughts. Now you claim both are at fault when yesterday according to you it was "victim blaming" to fault Ward at all.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 11:55 PM) And if Tony Stewart didn't have a temper and was pissed off, no one is dead either. QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 01:01 AM) Yeah, Ward put Stewart in that situation...... nice victim-blaming. QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 01:02 AM) Ah, so he just blindly slammed on the gas then. Even smarter. QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 04:59 PM) I never said he tried to purposefully run over a person. Stop having arguments that no one is having. QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 05:05 PM) Nope. Never once said he killed the kid on purpose. Enough with the constant lies. Lol It's pretty clear from the position you're taking in this thread that yes indeed you do believe he did it on purpose.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 04:51 PM) No, I will not give you a break. He has shown anger and retaliation on the track before. Of course people would think he would be more likely to be do something out of anger than Jimmie Johnson, whom I assume is not a hot head, based on your use of him as the other extreme. Debating with you is pointless. You've got this biased view that tony did it purposefully and refuse to look at any evidence or theory that exonerates him. Continuing to puppet your theories as right even though you've openly admitted to knowing nothing about racing. Maybe I should tell you about the time Tony Stewart won a race at Daytona and refused to celebrate the victory because debris from a huge accident flew into the stands and injured 28 people, and then he visited all the victims in the hospital. That's something CNN wouldn't tell you as it doesn't play into their story. Tony Stewart didn't cause that accident either so he had no obligation to do that.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 04:30 PM) My first instinct would be to drive low on the track where it's flat and not near the guy yelling coming towards my car. You know how hard it is to control those cars? Sudden movements on dirt is not a good idea. I'd imagine its more like driving on snow than asphalt or concrete. You're kind of stuck with whatever line you're on.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 04:24 PM) And rightfully so. Tony Stewart has a tainted history. Because he got in a couple of fights? Give me a break.

Man imagine if this same exact scenario had happened to someone like Jimmie Johnson. I highly doubt as many people jump to the he did it on purpose conclusion so fast.

Chicken fries are back.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 01:02 AM) Ah, so he just blindly slammed on the gas then. Even smarter. There is no proof he slammed the gas.... Your speculation is as good as anyone else's. The video was shot from the other side of the track. The engine noise could have been coming from any car. Also apparently sprint cars like to stall out when running slow, so you have to constantly slam the gas to keep the engine running when under caution. It appears this was a horrible accident either way. If this guy wasn't so stupid he'd be alive, that's a fact.

Reading the comments here it's pretty clear that people who consistently watch racing don't think Stewart did it on purpose. It's also clear that the people who understand sprint car racing don't think Stewart did anything wrong either . http://www.reddit.com/r/NASCAR/comments/2d...ne_at_a_sprint/

Also the argument that Stewart shouldn't be driving in those types of races is asinine. He loves doing it, and it brings him back to his roots. Any other athlete in other sports does that and it's considered awesome. For instance Pat Kane playing in a men's league was huge news and people thought it was awesome.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 10:35 AM) There was no imminent danger, it was simply an inexperienced 20 year old kid losing his temper...making the wrong decision. Many are also arguing Stewart NEVER should be racing in these types of events, he already broke his tibia/fibula a year ago and cost his team dearly in the final Cup standings AND it's putting the NASCAR brand at risk when independent teams/non-unionized contractors are involved in accidents/incidents like this. I wonder how many of his fellow NASCAR drivers were going to refuse to run today if Stewart was determined to race? Did Stewart decide, his sponsors/team or Bill France/NASCAR? Reminds me of that scene in RUSH where a lot of the drivers pushed Nikki Lauda to race in Germany when the track conditions were bad and he ended up getting into a horrific accident. Absolutely none of the others drivers would have refused to drive. I'm sure most are offering their support. There is no way Tony did it on purpose, yeah he might have tried to f*** with the kid but it was an accident either way. Kid shouldn't have gotten out of his car and ran down the track. You're asking for something like that to happen if you do.

5th'ed If Rose had been healthy the last two seasons I wouldn't want him involved though.

So since I went to ISU... I'm not allowed to root for any FBS teams? Got it.

I thought he was just pitching in relief to limit his innings.

Grounds out to 3rd in his second at bat

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 5, 2014 -> 11:18 AM) Contacts, and I don't see how it would help either, but it does. In fact I think it would make it worse.

What was he doing before the glasses? Was he just going with his regular bad vision? Or was he wearing contacts? I don't see how switching from contacts to glasses would help any.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 01:01 PM) I have nothing against Paul George, it's just not THAT big of a deal. If he had torn his ACL, there wouldn't be nearly so much fretting about it despite it being a more serious injury. They're acting like the dude died. This happens to soccer players all the time. PG will be fine and unless they want to go Rose level with the recovery, he should be back before the season ends. And yes, it will be a bad thing if this kills international basketball. It drives interest around the world and a game like last night was a lot of fun to watch. Of the four major sports, basketball is by far the least likely for players to get season ending injuries. That's why Paul George is the first guy to have an injury of real note while playing for Team USA Being a hitter in baseball is much less riskier.
