Three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart struck and killed a sprint car driver who had climbed from his car and was on the darkened dirt track trying to confront Stewart during a race in upstate New York on Saturday night.

Kevin Ward Jr. had crashed following contact with Stewart one lap earlier and got out of his car as it was stopped along the fence. Video of the incident showed Ward walking from his crashed car onto the racing surface as cars circled by, and, as he gestured at Stewart's passing car, he was struck.

Did you see the footage??

the guy that got out of his car (and Died) was an idiot, he looked like he was going up to yell at the guy as if he were in still traffic not zooming around a race track with other cars at god knows what speeds.

Sorry to family of the dead guy but that's are Darwin award.

Definitely a dumb move. And I don't know a thing about driving at that high of a speed, but I doubt you can't do too much in the way of making a sudden swerve, especially in those silly-looking things ...
