TBH, you claiming that it's totally Ward's fault seems just as ignorant as the people claiming definitively that it's Stewart's fault. In all likelihood, the truth is somewhere in the middle.

That video doesn't show anything definitively as to Stewart's intent, so more information is needed before making an informed judgement one way or the other.

To clarify, legally this is all Ward's fault. Both were being hotheads and shoulder some of the "spirtual"(?) blame, I'm honestly not sure how to term that, but I think you know what I mean. This should weigh on Tony's soul, so to speak, but I don't think it was intentional and I see no way he should be held legally responsible.

What would have been a great move would be to have raced today, won, and then donated the purse to Ward's family. Any winnings at all, whether winning or losing, really.

That really depends on Stewart's intent, which we have no way of knowing.

I do think that it would be hard to win a major manslaughter (or similar) case given the circumstances with Ward getting out of the car during a race. On the other hand, I think Stewart will ultimately be forced to settle a large civil case with the family.

His NASCAR career will take a big hit or end completely imo. Regardless of his legal culpability, his sponsorship dollars will dry up.
