I wasn't there, but I've read a bit from people who were and, at the very least, there seems to be questions...

Those not yet aware...Tony Stewart was in a sprint car race on a dirt track last night when a young driver, upset that Tony had pushed him into the wall, got out of his car and was on the track when Tony came back around. Tony's car tragically hit and killed Kevin Ward at that point.

Yes, you can question what Kevin was thinking getting out of his car. But, witnesses also say Tony revved his engine and swerved just prior to hitting him....the question being whether Tony was just trying to get around him or what. There are also unsubstantiated rumors that Tony instructed his crew to remove and dispose of the right rear tire that struck Kevin...which really makes little sense, but it's out there.

Tony's camp originally inferred he would race today per normal...that has since changed and Regan Smith will drive Tony's car.
