So I originally missed the news over Tony
Stewart's deadly incident with Kevin Ward Jr. having now been sent to a Grand
Jury for deliberation upon charges or not? Having first heard about the latest
development Sunday night (Sept 21) on the Speed Freaks, who refreshingly had an
almost entirely 'RASSCAR Free broadcast,
instead focusing upon Sports Cars whilst broadcasting live from the OLD-est IndyCar Blogger Geo.
Phillips favourite Texas track COTA, aka Circuit Of The Americas.
As what I can only imagine was a very
enjoyable Double Header featuring the
Tutor United Sports Car championship along with its European counterpart, WEC,
aka World Endurance Championship.
Alas, I can only agree with 'Duh Freaks' over
this latest development being very troubling, as in can Tony Stewart be given
a fair trial if the need arises, as how
many of "Mainstream Stick 'N Ball" Americans truly understand the
nature, intensity and aggression motor racing breeds in a driver?
While I enjoyed Scotty Scooter' Pruett's
usual candor regarding the Tony Stewart incident, basically stating how NOBODY
wins in a situation like that! Noting
how at his last time in an IndyCar at Fontana he was averaging 236mph with a
terminal velocity of 247 FREAKIN' Miles-Per-Hour on the straightaway; SHEISA!
And if anything goes wrong at that rate of
speed, things are gonna get broken or potentially worse! As people tend to
forget that these Athletes stare into the face of Death every time they strap
their helmet on...

Whilst Andy Lally, who apparently moonlights
as a MMA fighter had a far more candid
answer for The Freaks when asked 'bout handling aggression, along with
divulging having driven with his foot literally on FIRE for 90mins in a
previous race, for those who still don't think drivers are Athletes; GET OVER
IT!

As I tend to agree with Crash Gladys's
sentiments and vitriol that Tony Stewart is simply 100% incapable of intending
any malice towards Kevin Ward Jr. Although as 'Sarge followed up with, we all
want justice served correctly, and if
Tony was trying to teach Ward a lesson - that went horribly wrong, then Stewart
must be held accountable for his actions...
Thus, fortunately, and correctly, the Grand
Jury has rightly decided NOT to charge Tony Stewart over Kevin Ward Jr's death, although his family is still seeking
restitution financially from Stewart, which could be hard to accomplish due in
part to Ward's toxicology report having
found the 20yr old driver to be impaired by marijuana the night of his untimely
death.
Yet in another sign regarding the serious
consequences of racing, another driver has died
in a Sprint Car crash, this time
in Wisconsin...
