NASCAR driver Tony Stewart has been cleared of all charges by a grand jury for his role in an August crash at a Canandaigua dirt track that killed another driver.
The Ontario County Grand Jury decided on Wednesday to not indict Stewart for his role in that crash which killed sprint car driver Kevin Ward Junior last month.
The case was presented to the grand jury this week after a month long investigation by the Ontario County Sheriff's Office. Ward was killed on August 9 when a car driven by the three-time NASCAR champion struck and killed him during a race at Canandaigua Motorsports Park.
Ward had climbed from his car to confront Stewart when he was struck. The 20-year-old died of blunt force trauma.
On Tuesday, we reported that local driver Chuck Hebing was called to testify in front of the Grand Jury. Hebing was driving in front of Stewart just before the crash.(WHEC)
