I don't know, I do think Stewart needs to take a step back, and consider where to go from here in the event that this isn't as bad on his part as we all believed.

I do believe that maybe the guy should consider hanging it up in that department. He's gotten seriously injured in one race last year, and now he's killed someone (directly or indirectly). His love for dirt track racing could be shown in the ways he's already shown. Fielding teams for other drivers and running Eldora. He doesn't truly need to run in events like this any more.

If it's something like "The Chili Bowl" or something? Sure I can see that, but aside from that...dude's not putting himself in a good situation.

I still get the vibe from Ward that there's a good chance that Stewart was his racing idol growing up. I think that makes this whole situation all the more sad really.

One can also say "Well death is a part of racing". True, that doesn't instantly make any type of loss we see within the community any less painful.
This is what happens when someone Just Doesn't Understand Indianapolis.


On another note, the CBC did the best job of explaining the incident and not sensationalizing it.

 You're right, he could be doing more productive things with his time.

Like learning to fly a helicopter ala Davey Allison, or going to a bar, like Rob Moroso.
