Sorry but I don't blame TS even a little bit for this. You don't leave your car on a racetrack. All of your protection is in that car. If you are stupid enough to leave your car you don't walk toward other racecars that are zooming by and try to play chicken and talk mess to them. The way he was on that track between himself and his car he left less than half the track that was safe to drive on while on a curve on a dirt track.
I know it is difficult for his family but the guy was a complete idiot and had no business racing. IMO any race driver that gets out of his car during a race (outside of a fire or other dangerous situation) should be banned from the sport. They spend all this money on making the cars as safe as possible and protecting the drivers but if you get out of the car so you can point your finger at other drivers you have no business in that sport. If the sport will tolerate that behavior then it is also to blame.
I'm sure TS will settle with the guys family but honestly he shouldn't have to and I seriously doubt any jury would find for the defendant.

Stewart has been known to get out of his car and he once threw his helmet at Matt Kenseth's windshield on the track. I blame him for establishing the current bravado culture in NASCAR.
I agree that this shite has to end. Banning would be appropriate for what has now proven to be a potentially deadly act. I doubt that anyone would do it for a while but over time I can see it coming back because the customers love it.

I agree that the kid was being an idiot, but you can clearly hear Tony's engine rev up as he's approaching.
