It was an accident, and the sheriff has already said there would be no charges. The young man made a tragic mistake in getting out of his car and walking onto the track. He was almost hit by the car in front of Stewart's; all indications are that Stewart did what he could to avoid the collision. It is unfortunate that Mr. Ward paid such a steep price for his mistake. It is also unfortunate that Mr. Stewart will have to pay a price as well.

I don't agree with the death penalty. Anyone who kills someone has done a terrible thing, but state sponsored killing is just as bad. Many of the countries that still allow the death penalty are not necessarily admirable in terms of their human rights and general policies. These are the countries in the world that still permit the death penalty:
Afghanistan
Antigua and Barbuda
Bahamas
Bahrain
Bangladesh
Barbados
Belarus
Belize
Botswana
Chad
China (People's Republic)
Comoros
Congo (Democratic Republic)
Cuba
Dominica
Egypt
Equatorial Guinea
Ethiopia
Guatemala
Guinea
Guyana
India
Indonesia
Iran
Iraq
Jamaica
Japan
Jordan
Kuwait
Lebanon
Lesotho
Libya
Malaysia
Mongolia
Nigeria
North Korea
Oman
Pakistan
Palestinian Authority
Qatar
St. Kitts and Nevis
St. Lucia
St. Vincent and the Grenadines
Saudi Arabia
Singapore
Somalia
South Sudan

Syria

Trinidad and Tobago
Uganda
United Arab Emirates

Kevin Ward Jr. should have stayed in the car and waited for the wrecker. My race car friends have been told that at every briefing. My friend got yelled at because he left a BURNING car before the crews could get to him. The reason you stay with your car is so that you don't get run over, and even if the car does get hit, the roll cage and seat belts will help prevent injury.
So in the blame game Kevin deserves the most blame as he could have easily prevented his own death.

No, never. See in this video. You can clearly see that the guy hit at the last moment with the car ( just near the end of the car). May be Tony Stewart tried enough to move his car, but couldn't do much to save the life of Kevin.

I have read several accounts that he did rev his engine (showing off) which caused his car to fishtail into the guy. That is negligence at the very least from an experienced driver, so he should be charged with manslaughter. None of the other drivers hit the guy out on the track.
