NASCAR’S Tony Stewart Involved In Fatal Accident At Dirt Track In New York
Police officials say that NASCAR driver, Tony Stewart, hit and killed another driver who was walking on a track at the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprint in upstate New York. According to CNN, (and other media reports) the video of the incident shows the driver of the crashed car out of his vehicle, walking on the track toward the race cars, which had slowed for a yellow flag. The driver points a finger and appears to be yelling. One car swerves to avoid the driver on the track. Stewart's car passes close to the driver, and it appears that its right rear tire hits the driver. Deadspin.com has posted a video of the accident. (Please be advised that it is quite disturbing with adult language.)
***UPDATE** At a press conference held moments ago, Greg Zipadelli announced that Tony Stewart has decided NOT to race in today's race at Watkins Glen.
An investigation is underway.
