Nascar – No charges against Tony Stewart

The tragic accident that occurred last Saturday during an Extreme Super Sprint race which cost the life of Kevin Ward Jr. was highly publicized in the USA given the importance of Tony Stewart in Nascar. This tragedy sparked strong reactions among the motorsport public even if the exact circumstances of the accident remain to be defined. Despite the absence of accusations against the three-time Sprint Cup champion, the latter has been the subject of very strong criticism even if the investigation is only in its early stages.

Philip Povero, the sheriff of Ontario County, held a press conference to share the current situation and calm some minds. “The investigation is continuing and the accident is considered a racing accident. There are no charges currently filed. I want to make it very clear as we speak: there is no evidence or facts that would allow charges to be brought against anyone. »
