NASCAR and all racing needs events like this once in while. It is the sad price that has to be paid to keep fans coming. Everyone knows that one of the lures is the element of danger. If nobody ever gets hurt or killed, is it really dangerous? Dale E's death was predictable and so was this kid's. So is the next one that will happen next week, next month or next year. Nobody is sure where or when exactly but it is going to happen again. NASCAR has set it up this way.
NASCAR is no different than any of the other Entertainment sport. They drive what the leagues and "players" below them do. When it was all the rage to throw your helmet at the other car and try to fight the other drivers, NASCAR and Tony Stewart embraced it and we saw all kinds of tough guy routines. This kid was just doing what he saw as the way things are done. He was going to get some face time on TV and be able to tell everyone he took on Tony Stewart. Instead, he got a face full of grille and a trip to the morgue.
Tony Stewart didn't hit that kid on purpose but he sure has heck was a big part in why he got out of his car and tried to fight. How many incidents like that has TS been involved with? And what has NASCAR done to put an end to it? Case closed...
