FALL OF A LEGEND: Tony Stewart made the tragic announcement that ELDORA SPEEDWAY Top driver had committed suicide last night.

— — Authorities investigating the Tony Stewart racing accident that killed a fellow driver said today that “at this time, there are no facts to support any criminal behavior,” Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero said.

Investigators are reviewing two videos of the crash and are looking for additional recordings and eyewitness testimony from both spectators and other drivers on the course.

Kevin Ward Jr., 20, was killed Saturday after he got out of his car in what looked like an attempt to confront Stewart. Video of the incident has shown Ward gesturing towards Stewart’s vehicle as he walked out of his own car and towards the center of the racetrack where he was run over by Stewart’s car.

Povero said the district attorney “wants to certainly review this.”

“As we speak, at this time, there are no facts that exist that support any criminal behavior or conduct or any probable cause of a criminal act in this investigation,” Povero said, adding that no criminal charges have been filed in the case.
