10. Forget the civil suit -- the court will rule that for "but his actions"

Ward would probably still be alive, and/or that it's "more likely than not" that Stewart couldn't have seen him in time -- if at all.

He got out of his car, which he shouldn't have, moved toward the middle of the track, which he shouldn't have, and moved toward Stewart's car, which he shouldn't have. The sound of an engine revving in the video came from the Number 45 car that nearly hit him beforehand. And Stewart's car slid as the result of Ward being pulled under the back tire, not by steering toward him.

Ward's judgement was impaired by his anger -- had it been impaired by pot, he wouldn't have been able to drive the car the first place.
