Says they are still trying to understand what happened. Ward died after being hit by a car driven by nascar star tony stewart at an upstate new york racetrack. Don dahler has our report, but a warning, this report contains graphic video some may find disturbing. Reporter on the 14th lap of the super sprint race, kevin ward jr. s number 13 car was on the outside portion of the track when tony stewart, in the number 14 car, squeezed ward into the wall. The 20yearold spun out and blew a tire. Ward then got out of the car and began walking along the track gesturing as stewarts car neared. Oh, he hit him reporter medics arrived within seconds. Ward who had been racing sprint cars since 2010 was pronounced dead an hour later. The Ontario County sheriff is overseeing the investigation. There is no evidence in hand or no facts that would support a criminal charge or support criminal intent. Reporter but the incident has raised questions about whether stewarts actions were deliberate. He has had physical altercations with drivers in the past, and his former sponsor, home depot, criticized him for his anger issues. Jeff glut covers racing for usa today. Does this fit in with Tony Stewarts ontrack reputation as being an aggressive driver . I think hes an aggressive driver but not like that. I mean, when they say aggressive driver, maybe hes battling for position or blocking a guy. But to take a guy out like that, i dont you know, i think thats kind of a whole different level of classification. Reporter stewart was still angry shortly after the helmetthrowing incident two years ago and made a statement that could come back to haunt him. Checked up twice to not run over him, and i learned my lesson there. Im going to run over him every chance i got from now every chance i got. Reporter stewart nicknamed smoke was involved in an accident last year at this same track. He only returned to racing in february after losing the rest of last season when he suffered a broken leg in a dirt track race. Initially stewarts team manager said the threetime nascar champion planned to race at the nascar event at watkins glen. Greg zipadelli was quoted as saying we are business as usual, which angered some. The team later reversed position. This is a very tough, very emotional time for everybody. With that being said, we feel that as a group, tony will not drive today. Reporter tony stewart released a statement that read in part, there arent words to describe the sadness i feel about the accident that took the life of kevin ward jr. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and everyone affected by this tragedy. Stewart is not only a driver, hes also the multimillionaire owner of his team. He doesnt have to race in those smaller events. He says he does so out of love for the sport. But its unclear when he will return behind the wheel of a race car.
