I honestly doubt the guy could have even gotten close to Stewart to voice his displeasure after the race with Stewarts crew people and security and whoever else there and probably figured that would be the only way he could voice his displeasure and to me this is the same assomebody burning you down on the starting line and blowing your engine up(before the whole 7 sec staging rule or whatever) and you being mad about it. Im not sure about wearing black firesuit and such ive always tried to wear brighter colored firesuits in chase something was wrong on the top end and had to exit the car so the track crew could see me and otherwise this is a part of racing pretty much an accident nothing more nothing less but a very tragic accident at that.

I haven't seen any video yet showing contact between the two cars. Ward tried to pass Stewart on the high side in the turn and when his left front was about even with Stewart's right rear, Ward's car spun and stopped. The right rear wheel was visibly buckled and the tire was flat. Both are indications that Ward got into the cushion and that's what spun his car. Stewart's only contribution to the accident was that he was in front of Ward - and he probably wasn't even aware that Ward was there or that Ward wrecked since Stewart was focussed on catching and passing the leader, who was a few car lengths ahead of Stewart..
