It should come as no surprise to the sports world that Tony Stewart reacted to the race in the way he did. Kevin Ward, Jr. did not deserve to die over what we consider a very competitive sport. History shows us that Tony has always had hot headed temper, and in the past he's gone as far as to throw his helment into someone's race care while passing. Many people myself included believe that if Tony was a football or basketball player that he we not only be banned from the sport, but would face extreme criminal charges. I think it's easy to relate his lack of consequences to race. Look at the Michael Vick case, a black man had dogs that were being trained to fight other dogs, he spent time in jail, lost his endorsements, couldn't play, and had to fight his way back into the NFL... Now we have Tony Stewart who "accidentally" kills a man that everyone else on the track was able to avoid, not facing criminal charges for vehicular manslaughter. It's a little backwards to me. I think he sould be doing more than sitting out of a few races.
