It was unintentional. What is the motive? If Tony was going to snap and kill someone he would of done it in much more intense conflicts he had had in the past.
The track was dimly lit, the victim was in a black safety suit, and the track was muddier than usual. Some whiteness say that Tony gunned it right before he hit the kid, and i agree. If anyone here knows anything about Sprint cars, you steer with the back wheels as much as the front. It is entirely possible he tried to avoid the kid at the last minute but it was too late and the track was to slick.
I will accept that it is possible that tony was trying to scare the kid, but it just doesn't seem likely. Tony Sprint races all the time, this wasn't even a major confrontation, and i dont think they have any past beef.
Another point, the kid shouldn't of gotten out of the car, period. I know a lot of drivers do it, but that doesn't make it safe. Once you exit your car, you immediately void every single safety feature the sanctioning body has required to keep the driver safe. Once you step out onto that track you take your life into your own hands.
It was a poor decision under poor circumstances that ended in a freak tragedy. No criminal charges should be filed, but i suspect a civil suit will be settled out of court.
