One key point that needs to be made about driving dirt cars is they are hard, if not impossible to turn quick without blipping the throttle, when going slow. If a dirt driver needs to get their slow rolling car to change directions quickly, they have to blip the throttle & use some of the big stagger in the rear tires.
I looked over the video several times & it looked to be a no win situation no matter what. If Tony didn't blip the throttle to turn the car he was going to hit him with the front of the car ... and obviously when he did blip the throttle the back end of the car hit the driver on track.
I'm not blaming, nor defending, either person. This was a tragedy. An avoidable tragedy. It surely could have been avoided by the young man if he stayed in his car. But emotions get to you when you think you've been wronged. I'm not sure Tony saw him coming at him in enough time to react & avoid him. No camera can tell us that. Only Tony knows that. At fault or not, you know he is torn up dealing with this. It is very sad.
