Many Twitter users, including numerous sports journalists, are arguing that Tony Stewart should not race today. Some say that NASCAR should intervene.
NASCAR exerts more unilateral power than any other sport. It’s time for them to tell Tony Stewart he’s not racing today.

Tony Stewart plans to compete today at Watkins Glen. NASCAR needs to step in and change his plans — my @ESPNRadio show now

Not sure you should say "business as usual" after your client just accidentally ran over a dude, but that's just me.

It's despicable that Tony Stewart is racing today.

There's a lot of time left for Tony Stewart and his team to reconsider their decision to race. They should use that time wisely.

Intentional or unintentional, Tony Stewart can't race today. Racing takes a back seat to respect. It's the right and only thing to do.

Stewart crashed into and killed another driver, Kevin Ward Jr., last night at a race in upstate New York.
Update: He won’t race today, after all:
