Everyone is still trying to make sense of the senseless thing that happened Saturday at Canandaigua Motorsports Park in New York. Kevin Ward’s life was taken in a sickening incident and two days later emotion is still running very high for everyone involved.

Members of Kevin Ward’s family are trying to deal with their grief and at least one of them has taken to social media to rail against the man responsible for taking Ward’s life. Wendi Ward posted about her feelings on Facebook, venting her anger against Tony Stewart:

"I feel numb, I look into the eyes of family and see a deep hurt that should not be there, my heart has pounded out of my chest for hours, thanks for thinking of our family tony Stewart when you decided to be a d–k! My nephew was one of a kind, a true race car driver, a p–s head and a sweetie all in one, a young man who will be truly missed by many! Aunt Wendi loves you budster, forever in our hearts."

You can understand Wendi Ward’s raw anger at a time like this. What’s harder to understand is why Tony Stewart and NASCAR keep saying/doing things that make them look like tone-deaf idiots in the wake of a tragedy.

I guess some people just have no perspective on things. Some people have no idea that there are bigger things in life than their silly little sport.
