To clarify, legally this is all Ward's fault.

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.

Which is why I have such a problem with Ward. Idiot should have stayed in his car and is entitled to nothing. I hope they sue and lose. Now all of racing is going to suffer and an innocent person is going to have their life screwed up because this guy is a self-centered, egotist shithead that cannot accept responsibility for hitting the wall.

I see nothing on that tape that speaks to any sort of malicious intent on Tony's part. There is clearly such intent on the part of Ward.
