They didn't test his blood levels (Tony). Why? They just had some guy say, "Hey, he looked okay! No prah-blum!" <--paraphrase, of course.

But the guy under the wheel? They tested his blood. ${#emotions_dlg.sneaky}$

Hence my comment on another "Tony Stewart" thread about the Sprint Car series benefitting from a random drug testing policy for the drivers.

This was an unfortunate accident. I'm glad the Grand Jury saw it that way. I'm sure they thoroughly examined all the evidence in the past 7 weeks. They didn't come to a hasty decision.

Well, you can't put an advertising logo on a coffin. No profit there--poor visibility.

They performed an autopsy on Kevin. I'm sure that blood testing was part of that procedure. This is the norm.

This is correct. It was a known fact that Ward was a user of marijuana.

This is from USA today:

The Ontario County District Attorney's office took the evidence in Stewart's case to a grand jury, which found there was no basis for criminal charges, D.A. Michael Tantillo announced Wednesday.

Tantillo said toxicology reports revealed that Ward was under the influence of marijuana at a high enough level to impair judgment.

What they failed to mention (my source, KFI out of L.A.), was that the tox screen taken from Ward's body came back positive for marijuana.

Racing is a dangerous sport. Racing and making impaired decisions in bad light is plain _____.

I'm happy for Stewart.

p.s. CNN falls short many, many, many times in its reporting, which is why I don't watch it.

I am really happy for Tony Stewart.

Was Tony Stewart really not tested as well as Kevin Ward?

From the DA:

Stewart did not have to provide a blood sample and was not given any type of alcohol or drug test. Police cannot ask someone to submit to a drug test until they are charged with a crime in New York, Tantillo said.

Great news for Tony. I am sure this will help him get past this nightmare.

Thanks, nunya. Legal then but it doesn't seem fair.
