If you are slower, get out of the way. POS parents, in my opinion. I am sure it is not the first time this kid has done something stupid when he was pissed off or didn't get his way. Very sad for anyone to lose a child. I have seen greiving parents look to blame others for the death of their child. Unfortunately, we all screw up and sometimes it does not have a good outcome. Racing is dangerous without doing stupid things. It is a risk you take to race, bad stuff can happen.

And let's not forget that "it's what Kevin would want us to do" was said by the parents in regards to going after Stewart.

It will def be interesting to see what the jury comes back with in a civil trial. I heard on the radio yesterday that "Grand Jury" testimony is confidential and wont say if Stewart testified or not. I bet if it goes Civil he may have to get up there.....
In my opinion is just ridiculous. The guy got out of his fricken car during a race. He is asking for trouble.

The kid should be charged for causing so much chaos in Stewarts life considering he was stoned and broke the cardinal rule in racing.
In the real world he'd be locked up for being intoxicated and causing a fatality.

The really sad deal out of all of this, his parents will be paid out. It's cheaper for the insurance company (and you can bet that Stewart is all kinds of insured) to pay out rather than go to trial. Not to mention, consider the jury pool and the winners that typically end up on the jury sitting there listening to the parents crying about losing their little angel and how they are devastated and don't know how they're going to be able to go on... then Stewart's attorneys get up and start attacking the character of the deceased and bring in toxicology reports to further kick dirt on his grave. Not a really easy way to go down that road without creating sympathy for the parents, who are now the victims of this monster Tony Stewart. Rest assured every video snippet of him on the track being a hot head will be played over and over for the jury.

I can only imagine how many attorneys were in touch with the parents to get them signed on for representation within minutes of the news breaking. Sad really.
