So long, Tony Stewart

Xs2

I am a Nascar and roundy-round fan.. I don't like or dislike Tony Stewart,, but I do respect him..

He fights with his heart, his mouth, his fists,, and sometimes cars.. He would never take a car against a person by choice...

As mentioned, those tracks at nite are not the best lit, Vision isn't the greatest with long shadows all over, you've got a face full of dirt,, the grill/bars they put in front of the driver to stop rocks getting in the driver face, usually has chunks of dirt stuck to it..

I doubt Tony saw the guy till the last minute, when the guy jumped out from car in front,, blipping the throttle with that rear wheel stagger is an INSTANT left turn, I'm thinking to avoid,, after that ,, ??

They blip throttles to blow mud outta the cleated tires, it's habit,, like nascar driver's wiggle back and forth to clean their tires,, all the way around the track..

I think, as mentioned, if you walk down onto a active track, that should be the end of your career,, either way..

Terrible loss... terrible shame..

Take some time to see what Tony Stewart does off track,, and what he does "anonymous" ,,,

Exactly right Inertia. The only thing I would add is that when you're on a banked curve your field of view is limited which contributes to your ability to see what's in front of you and decreases your reaction time. Depending on the bank the only things you can see sometimes are the cars directly in front and in back of you.
