You are assuming that the driver behind Tony wants to further his career in racing. He might be right where he wants to be and it isn't a career it's a sport, or maybe he is an owner driver and ready to retire, or maybe he doesn't feel he owes anyone so he doesn't have anything to loose by telling the truth. Oh yeah, except that by saying Tony did everything he could, he's now not the local fan's favorite so he might be limiting his home town sponsorship opportunities. And other drivers with a chip on their shoulder might want to retaliate against him. I can see why saying Tony was not at fault is such a stellar option if it wasn't true. On the other hand if it is true, big props to the guy that would rather tell the truth than join in mob mentality that the successful person must be punished if a chance arises.
