It appears the only video that is available are the fan videos that have been popping up online. From those videos while it looks like Stewart may have intentionally sped up to hit Kevin Ward, it is impossible to tell for sure.
A dash cam video would have help, but cops says it doesn’t exist.
Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero tells TMZ Sports they checked Stewart’s #14 sprint car — and Ward’s #13 — to see if there was mini-cam footage of the moment the NASCAR superstar barreled into Ward … but came up with zilch.
It’s odd because we’re told — by multiple sources in the racing world — Stewart commonly has a mini-camera of some sort mounted on his cars when he races on smaller dirt tracks like Canandaigua. We’ve made multiple calls to Stewart’s racing teams, but have not heard back.
The sheriff also told us there were no recordings of communication between Stewart and his pit crew — though our sources say that’s standard ops for a small race not airing on TV.
At the moment there are no plans to charge Stewart with a crime.
