Not a big Tony fan, but I did watch that video many times and frame by frame. Tony wasn't going any faster than the other cars, basically their caution speed. I know these cars are set up staggered and will naturally turn left especially with the locked rear axles. Whenever you watch these cars race, they turn left and kick the rear out to the right as soon as they let off the throttle. In the last few frames of the video the guy looks extremely close to the right front Stewarts car and is still taking a step towards him. If Stewart took his foot off the accelerator the rear would have naturally gone right and slammed that guy broadside. Those cars are wider in the rear than the front so if the guy was right up at the side of Stewarts front tire, the rear would have caught him even if Stewart just drove straight. And all this is happening on a dirt track. To get the rear of the car to kick to the left (away from the other guy) would have to be an intentional move and "blipping" throttle would be required, and that would seem like an intent to avoid contact. That's what looks and sounds like happened. So all those reports of Stewart "intentionally fishtailing into" the other guy don't seem very accurate to me. It was an unnecessary tragedy that could defiantely have been avoided by one person (Kevin Ward jr) and MAYBE by another (Stewart). But those are just my thoughts on the subject. Bottom line is someone lost their life in this incident and it's a loss for many.
