I don't think Stewart should or will retire from this. Tragic accident, even if he was trying to "make a point" by revving the engine/breaking loose the tires while passing Ward.

Simply put, this stuff has been going on for far too long. The running after moving cars and throwing a tantrum on the track. So unsafe, and this was bound to happen eventually. Up until now, NASCAR has allowed these antics to go on, so it looks like it's become popular even in the lower levels of the sport of driving.

Heck, I've even enjoyed some of the antics when they did this...and I'm sure many others did as well. Until now, safety during these antics just wasn't an issue.

Now, I suspect they enact rules that will suspend/ban drivers if they break these safety rules in the future.
