IMHO both parties made choices that were poor and tragic. The kid shouldn't have thought being out on the track during a race was a good idea. Tony, being the "cowboy" he's known to be was surely pushing the limits of his car
I don't see how Tony was pushing he limits of his car during the yellow. He was circulating at the same speed as everyone else. There's no video of the events prior to the one recorded in the video. But to me what lead to Ward crashing was just a racing incident.
