After watching the video, several times, understanding Tony Stewart has a temper, I have no doubt he gunned the car under caution ( I mean, he did it, there is no question), my opinion to send a message, and it went horribly wrong. Frankly, you swerve to miss someone, especially when driving in a straight line, not speed up. This was not under a racing condition, where the cars are literally sliding thru the corners.
I don't know if there should be any punishment, I'm having a hard time thinking Tony Stewart isn't facing defending himself against a manslaughter charge.
Cooler heads didn't prevail, and if I'm NASCAR, I institute some serious rules in regards to leaving your car to chase someone down.
