As Twitchy reported earlier this morning, NASCAR star Tony Stewart hit and killed another driver, Kevin Ward Jr., last night during a race at Canandaigua Motorsports Park in upstate New York.
Some NASCAR fans, including TNA wrestling exec Bob Ryder (see above), believe that Stewart deliberately struck Ward:
Tony Stewart clearly commited murder on the track. How you not see kevin ward. #manslaughter

I've watched the Tony Stewart video over and over. In my opinion he swerved toward Kevin Ward. Did I just witness a murder by #tonystewart

Many saying Kevin Ward Jr. has passed away. If intentional, as reported, Tony Stewart should go to jail for murder.

Maybe I will think different tomorrow, but damn that looked intentional, and unspeakable. Pray for Kevin Ward, and Stewart for that matter.

Others aren’t so sure. After all, Ward exited his car — not a smart move — and walked around on the racetrack. (Twitchy has decided not to post the video; it is available on Youtube here.)

The people who are outright accusing Tony Stewart of maliciously hitting Kevin Ward Jr need to keep schtum. NO proof that it was intentional

That Tony Stewart/Kevin Ward video is like a scene from faces of death. Clear he passed away instantly. But not definitively intentional.

Kevin Ward Jr was to far down track & in racing lane. Tony Stewart should have been able to go lower. Doesn't seem intentional though….

If your a racefan you know how Tony Stewart can be, but I just can't imagine what happened w/ Kevin Ward to be intentional
— Austin Brooks (@AustinBrooksie) August 10, 2014
From what I've read so far the accident involving Tony Stewart & Kevin Ward does NOT look intentional folks. Hope all involved are ok.

Well this Tony Stewart incident is going to get interesting now…
RIP Kevin Ward Jr.
Still don’t believe it was intentional to hit him.
