A video clip of Tony's rage incidents over the years will be far more effective. Plus Tony's own statement that he wrecked Newman intentionally. A pattern of prior bad acts and continuing bad acts may give the plaintiffs the edge when the jury looks at the preponderance of the evidence, which is the standard of proof in a civil suit.Fed Up with NASCARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14147387364333014116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-28260305617950017022016-09-15T12:56:10.949-04:002016-09-15T12:56:10.949-04:00Oh, I can read, Dave.

When I read he had took on the case I was really floored. Lanier is a beast in civil litigation. But being a Nascar fan, I also knew the circumstances that led to the death of Kevin Ward Jr. So I was left a little perplexed as to why Lanier would take on the Ward lawsuit against Stewart. But, in civil litigation, you only have to prove reasonable doubt. All Lanier has to do is prove there was reasonable doubt in Stewart's defense of the incident and it's very possible he will get the verdict the desires. It's obvious Lanier did his homework on Stewart before he took the case. The funny thing is I was watching Newman's interview Saturday night and as soon as I heard when I heard from his mouth, the first thing that crossed my mind was Lanier is going to subpoena Newman so fast it's going to make a 13 second pit stop look as if it was a minute long. Newman has no idea what his mouth has got him into.

And Harvick saw this handwriting on the wall and so seeing Newman wasn't really setting things at Stewart-Haas ablaze took an opening. Look at the results. Yes, RCR talks about a fourth car, but they are NOT doing ANYTHING without getting a charter for it. Hmmm, dumping a driver that is not funded or not related - much more cost-effective solution. Which of course leads to Ryan's foot-in-mouth moment. The interesting point - a few years ago this would have been all over the place. Now, NASCAR can't even get much of a rise out of the sports world over it.

We don't know what has gone down behind scenes off the track. I do know that the RCR horsepower is not up to the level of HMS, SHR & JGR. The decline started during Harvick's final year with RCR. I would like to see Newman land with RPM, as they're in the process of stepping up their program. <br />With his Engineering background, he'd be an asset to their team. Newman has a lot more than racing in his life and I can't see him taking time away from his family to get lapped in the 38 car. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07136465149966786821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-74040081646205436722016-09-14T14:23:28.985-04:002016-09-14T14:23:28.985-04:00Whats the deal Moody?

If Stewart had a problem with Newman, what is the justification for taking out half the field along with him? The man has clear anger issues. Using the term bipolar was probably inappropriate, but I would go so far as to say Tony shows all the marks of a person with a serious personality disorder who should NEVER be behind the wheel of a lethal weapon like a race car. Stop apologizing for this jerk.

It is anger, and an inability to control himself. It is similar to athletes in other sports who are coddled when young, coddled when older and being told they are the best and can do no wrong. <br />Chevrolet made a mistake by woeing him with the ability to be a partner at Haas Racing with no real financial commitment, again, in Stewart's mind, justifying the fact he is "special." <br />NASCAR is lucky he hasn't hurt someone in one of its races. He can't control himself. Spoiled bullies very seldom are controlled. <br />You will read an article one day of something really bad happening around him. The shock is no one will be surprised, and everyone will be confused why it happened. He should have been banned many years ago. <br />Sad, because he is, deep inside, a good person who had no, as we say in the south, upbringing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
