Kevin Ward, Senior Lashes Out At Tony Stewart

((HT: Syracuse Post-Standard/Hannagan))

The father of the sprint car racer killed in an accident with Tony Stewart has spoken to Syracuse media and is still not happy with Stewart and how things transpired on the track.

In an extensive interview with Syracuse.com's Charley Hannagan Kevin Ward, Senior feels that Stewart is solely responsible for what happened at the Canadaigua, New York track this past weekend.

From Hannagan is the collection of her quotes from Kevin Ward, Senior:

"Apparently, Tony Stewart was the only one driving out there who didn't see him," he said.

"Tony Stewart was the best damn driver by far on the track that night. Why he had to go up as high as he did and hog my son, there's no reason for it," Ward Sr. said.

"The one person that knows what happened that night is possibly facing 10 years in prison. Is he going to say what he done?" Ward Sr. said.

Ward wants everyone to remember his son as someone who just loved to race and that seems to be the main reason he spoke to Hannagan for her article. But even if the investigation shows no malice on Stewart's behalf, he may not be completely free from any kind of charges from the Ontario County police.
