Tony Stewart Hits Driver at Canandaigua Motorsports Park

Post by Nutso »

Tony Stewart is a NASCAR racer but he's participating in Sprint Car racing which is funny cars on a dirt track. He hit another driving while drifting and the driver decided to confront him but, Stewart is still driving. There are reports of law enforcement being involved, which is a rare thing. If you click the video you're going to see a human being getting run over by a car.

CMP posted the following to its Facebook page:

Tonight's racing events were suspended due to an accident. Please hold off on any speculation until we have further information to share.

Accidents are, obviously, common in the motorsports world. To shut down a track entirely following one is extreme, and if you look at the above photo you'll notice a major law enforcement presence. That's not standard for an auto racing accident, either. (Fox Sports confirmed law enforcement is looking into the incident.)

Here's how alleged eyewitnesses are telling what happened. Keep the usual caveats about things you hear on the Internet in mind, but the number of people who saw it happen—and their previous track records for motorsports reporting—suggests the worst.

Road rage?
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

You get out of a wreck and storm onto the track to wave your fist at the cars, what do you really expect to happen?

Stupid, sad, senseless waste.

Exactly how I feel about auto racing.

Seriously. What an asshole.
