Cops say investigation undergoing in NASCAR tragedy in which TONY STEWART ran over fellow driver KEVIN WARD, Jr. as grieving family slams three-time champ.
Relatives of Ward, the 20-year-old auto racing prospect fatally mowed down by NASCAR stalwart Tony Stewart Saturday at New York’s Canandaigua Motorsports Park, have taken the three-time champion to task for his actions.
In the incident that was filmed by a fan, Ward’s #13 vehicle was swiped by Stewart’s #14.
Ward exited his car and began roaming the track, pointing at Stewart’s car. When he approached closely, Stewart’s car fishtailed and Ward was hit, with an onlooker bellowing, “Tony Stewart hit that guy!”
