Kevin Ward was smokin dope...........

I have seen incidents like this at tracks all over Kentucky and Indiana since the 70's. Drivers jump out of the car to try and fight all the time. Pot had nothing to do with it, but rest assured he was impaired. The cannibas was still in his blood that meant he recently smoked. This is not like a urine test where it could still remain in there for a month or more.

The drug issue made this go away if you ask me. Folks were looking to put Stewart away. Had the driver been squeaky clean, this might have had a different outcome.

I don't think Stewart "slid" out to hit the kid, but I do believe he added some juice for effect, and **** got away from him. Bottom line, only Stewart knows.........

On the other hand. If Stewart wasn't a hot head and had he not put someone in the wall to cost him a checkered flag, maybe this would have been a non issue.

Later,

I could not imagine how one could smoke a joint right before a dirt track race and even be remotely competitive. It doesn't work for Mario cart on Nintendo I couldn't fathom it in a real life race at high speeds. Maybe ward was able to maintain.
