NASCAR champion Tony Stewart was involved in a Spint Car accident at New York, just north of Watkins Glen, where Stewart was to race in the Sprint Cup series weekend. Stewart and fellow racer, Kevin Ward, got into an altercation during a sprint car race.

According to reports, Ward approached Stewart to confront him and Stewart clipped Ward with his car, sending Ward flying through the air and then laying motionless when he landed. Ward was taken to a local hospital and has passed away.
