NASCAR examining another Stewart-photographer incident
By JIM UTTER

HOMESTEAD, Fla. - Tony Stewart was again the subject of controversy Saturday as he was accused of shoving a photographer after the final practice session at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Rusty Jarrett, a free-lance photographer from Augusta, Ga., was standing in the garage area of the speedway taking a still photograph of Stewart after the driver got out of his No. 20 Pontiac.

Jarrett said Stewart went out of his way to walk in front of him and shove him. A photographer with The Miami Herald took a photo of the incident, which shows Stewart pushed up against Jarrett while Jarrett was holding his camera.

Witnesses disagree over whether Stewart's actions were intentional. Saturday afternoon, NASCAR vice president Jim Hunter was investigating the incident.

"Several people look at it and have different versions of what happened," Jarrett said. "I just want to know why he did it. He could have walked to the left or right of me. I did not block his way at all."

Jarrett said he had spoken to NASCAR officials. Asked the substance of the conversation, Jarrett replied, "What version do you want?"
 
Why the accusation in your thread title? If it's BS why do you make it sound like he did it?

Sounds to me like the two camera men set it up.

AHHHHHHHHHHH, a voice of sanity! Thanks Paul :)
 
LMAO!!Rusty Jarrett!! I heard he attacked a snow cone guy on another site?? He's a dandy!!LMAO!!:beerchug:
 
It was mentioned during the Busch race. Bill Weber said that "according to my sources, which are very reliable, Tony was running thru the garage area, turned a corner and unintentionally ran into a media member." This is a no story story. and a complete crock of:bs:
 
Sadly I see only one solution to end this loutish tyoe of behaviour.

Since the conflicts appear unavoidable banishment is the last viable solution. It is a decision which will diminish the sport as an a valuable member of the racing world will no longer be a part of the weekend garge scene. The fans will lose colorful and insightful analysis from an up close perspective. But it seems that practically every other availbble avenue has been explored and come up deficient.

So there is only one final solution.

The press must be banned from the garage and paddock area, effective immedialtely. The ban will remain in force until each member has expressed their appropriate regret and remorse over this and all other incidences of misconduct.

Dem Shame it is!!:D :D :D
 
Well, they got what they want even a little bit.

People posting all over the internet "Stewart shoves another reporter", which is false and borders on libel. And the reporter's name up in lights.

Still waiting to hear from pettyfan why he felt the need to make his thread title like this, I highly doubt I'll get a response.
 
The entire is incident is a joke.

I intend to treat it as such. :p

Here's the pic...you be the judge.
 
Hmm, I don't see any blind corners there. I know he is fast, but not that fast. I read the story, but will not pass judgement.

My opinion though is, he will have a whole hell of a lot of photographers etc. chasing him around after tommorow, IF he wins the cup:p
 
That picture looks fake...they look like they are hovering above the concrete.

Where are their shadows?

Hey, I see what you are saying!! Even on a cloudy day there would some sort of shadow directly below them! Hmmmmmmmmm!!:(
 
Nothing about that photo looks realistic in my book. AT BEST, it was an honest "bump" being Tony's arm(s) are held chest high and he is running in a forward direction judging from the direction his feet are pointing.

So if that photo is valid, he "clipped" the guys shoulder. Nothing more!
 
Take a look at Tony from the waist up......it's "behind" the photog (looking from the direction the picture is taken). Now look at Tony from the waist down......it's "in front"! Let's see, Tony is running with a slightly forward lean......the photog is leaning to the side. How would Tony's left leg be "in front" while he shoulder is "behind" that guy? Seems impossible to me!
 
The photographer also has both feet planted flat on the ground. almost like no one is anywhere around him let alone being accidentally run into.
once again I say:bs: :bs: :bs:

well damn paul I was trying to inform people and was going off of what I was told I did not respond untill now because I was at work and Then i was told a better part to the story then what I had been at first go excuse the hell out of me
 
I'm not talking about your lack of response, I'm talking about why you said "Stewart shoves another camera man" when it never happened.

Why you post something that just isn't true?
 
Because at that time there was not a whole lot of info on it and from what i understood he did shove/ push what ever im sorry
 
Don't understand how Tony puts up with all this. He and his fans get dragged through this kinda of stuff every few months. I like Tony and am getting tired of these baised accusations against him. He's out there doing what he loves, how many people can actually say that? He had a problem and his working on fixing it. These reporters should be charged with slander. They sure didn't hesitate on pulling Tony's name through their mudd!:mad: Even my guy DJ stood up for him and backed him all the way. People lay off and let him enjoy the life he loves--racing! Can't wait to see Tony on the track tomorrow---Go Tony!!
 
If Tony wins the Cup tomorrow, I wouldn't blame him if he quit afterwards....
I can just see it in my head... he gets up on stage, accepts the trophy and check, and tells Mike Helton and NASCAR to shove it all up their a$$!
 
Dont get me wrong I like stewart I was just tryin to help out and inform people in on this
 
This stuff has been around for many, many years......so long it has a name! "Ambush journalism". In my opinion it is misnamed........that type of reporting is not journalism!:( It's a shame that it happens......but it does and I don't know how to stop it. The internet makes it even more attractive for "reporters" to exploit this tactic since it hits the audience so quickly.......and bad or sensational news spreads so much faster than legitiment news. It's just not an ethical way of reporting.

We are all guilty of rushing to conclusions pettyfan......don't worry about it. But you might try waiting a bit on "late breaking" news to see if it gets any collaboration before you state it as fact. Unfortunately, lots of the news you get anymore is just what this thing was........total B.S.:)
