Dunno if you guys heard about this, or if any of you are interested in any form of motor racing, but yeah. Tony Stewart, known for sprint cup racing, and this I guess too accidentally killed someone yesterday, eh hell here's the video.

Personally, I think Kevin was dumb for getting out of the car. Thoughts?

It's all good though

I raced dirt Modifieds for years and sometimes the Empire Super Sprints would make an appearance at my local track I raced at on Friday nights, so I got the pleasure of meeting and speaking to both Tony and Kevin in the pits. Kevin was a really cool guy and he'll be missed greatly up here in the northeast.

My bad, didn't see the topic. :p
That's cool though, I've always wanted to do dirt racing in general.

They're sprint cars. They're designed for short ovals, so as a result they are built with a high HP, V8 engine without a transmission or clutch. Basically you rev the engine, steer, and drift around the corners.

Ravencroft could probably explain better than I can.

Pretty sure Tony was trying to scare the dude by trying to blare past him, but ward got too close and then got hit in the process.
